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

A great upgrade!
on April 14, 2026

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!

Pink!

I upgraded recently to the forerunner 570 after having the Vicoactive 5 for a few years. I wanted more stats on my running and the training features. I'm glad I did and I picked out the pink one as well to match my kit. I don't regret it for a second.

Glad I made the switch

I just switched from an Apple Watch to a garmin and I’ve really had no complaints and this was given as a gift. I love how it breaks down my sleep from each night and I really enjoy seeing the training recovery/readiness after working out. I especially enjoy the battery life of the watch and how fast it charges back up. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone really. There’s so many different activities it can track including fishing. Not anything I’ve seen Apple Watch be able to track. Im overall very satisfied with the watch.

Had to replace my Fenix and absolutely love the Forerunner 570! Fits perfectly and was so easy to set up!

Battery Life not actually 10 days

I love everything about my Garmin but will say the battery doesn’t actually last the full 10 days . I usually have to charge my day 6 . Not sure if the battery is bad .

Beats Apple Watch hands down!!
on May 1, 2026

I did so much research, was looking for a watch (to replace my Apple Watch) that I can use for HR and other metrics for cycling. This is the best pick!! Absolutely blows the Apple Watch away (and I'm a huge Apple fan!!). Apple's watch won't even sync to my AppleTV to use with Zwift. The Garmin syncs immediately. For watches, I'm Garmin alll the way. No more Apple watches.

Great Features and bright display
on May 5, 2026

I bought this about a month ago. So far, it's exactly what I needed. I'm coming from the Fenix 7 Sapphire Solar. While that was good, I need a 42mm face and Fenix no longer offers that, and the MIP display just isn't what I needed. The Forerunner 570 is perfect. The only reason I rate 4 instead of 5 is that the paint chips easily. Like very easily. However, this is just battle scars I guess.
