A great upgrade!
on April 14, 2026
Posted by: Ali S
Going from a Forerunner 245 to this has been a huge change. The bright screen is fantastic for seeing data easily during a run, and the additional features like training readiness are so cool! However, ever since turning it on from the box, the screen has glitched and sometimes freezes like that. I’ve done updates and have not been able to fix it fully. Has mad interval runs difficult when the screen looks scrambled and is stuck that way :( it was happening frequently but has slowed down in frequency. Hoping this is a bug that updates will fix!

Bought this as a replacement for my 265. Very good and accurate but the sounds are weird.

Positive Migration to the Forerunner 570
on April 9, 2026

After owning an Epix 2, I decided to "downsize" to the Forerunner 570 42mm for the lighter package. Most notable, I can wear it to measure my sleep which I couldn't with the larger Epix. I also find the graphics brighter but perhaps my Epix 2 had degraded.

I’m happy with the watch but heart rate is not any where near accurate.

Forerunner 570 - Former fenix 6s Pro wearer...

As primarily an endurance sports athlete, I find the Forerunner 570 a suitable alternative (and less expensive) to my fenix 6s Pro. In the 10yrs I wore my fenix 6, I strayed from the primary sports (swim, bike, run, walk, strength) only a few times. The forerunner 570 has that handled just fine.

I love my new watch

I became interested in running later in life in an effort to get in shape (and lose weight). I started running using just a simple fitness tracker (you'd recognize the "fitting" name). A friend who coaches runners told me to get a "real watch". I did some research and decided to buy the Forerunner 570.
I set it up, added a few upcoming events and started a Garmin Coach Training program.
I was impressed with the guidance the program gives me. I'm training according to the plan and my results are starting to show. I'm able to run 5 times a week, and the previous aches and pains have subsided.
I highly recommend this watch for beginner and intermediate runners. You will not regret your purchase.

Love this running watch

My first ever smart watch. I wanted it for running as I train for a marathon. I’ve totally loved it! At first it did feel big and I had to get used to that part. Now I don’t notice it. The batter lasts about 6-7 days. I like being able to glance and mu wrist and see pace and heart rate. It has helped training to see stats and be able to shift and adjust to train better.
