Love it!

Been wearing it for a couple of weeks and love it! The flexibility to create your own workouts and run them from the watch has been a huge help in my training.
The only drawback is the sleep focus. I wish there was a setting for pacemaker. I was looking forward to the jody battery and recovery data.
But, all in all, it's been a great experience!

Best running companion, minus the price and a dog

This watch is an amazing watch that will change the way you run! It is pricey though. If you're a serious runner, it is absolutely worth it. I love it for intervals workouts and the heart rate monitor. I say that it is definitely the best running companion other than my late dog, Nigel. Running with an attractive woman or man... meh... just a distraction! Running with the Garmin Forerunner... oh yeah! NOW were getting in shape! Running with Nigel... we're getting in shape and we're getting unconditional love!!

Great middle-of-the-road Forerunner

I have been an Apple Watch user for 5-6 years (and a Fitbit wearer before that). I really got into running this past year, and while my Apple Watch could track many of the metrics I pay close attention to, it wasn't as running-focused as I wanted. And because it was connected to my iPhone, I felt inundated with notifications all the time (yes, I know I could have turned the notifications off). I wanted something more simplistic and more fitness-focused, not just a smartwatch.
The 570 is a great middle-of-the-road Forerunner for my first Garmin. It tracks all the important running metrics I need (e.g., cadence, stride, ground contact time, recovery time) without breaking my budget, and blocks out notifications while I am doing my workouts so I can remain focused.
Coming from an Apple Watch, my favorite things so far include how light it feels and the battery life. I have a busy work schedule and travel a lot, so not having to remember to bring another charger has been wonderful.
10/10 recommend the 570!

Great Upgrade!

I love this watch. I have owned a Delta Tactix for many years and decided to add this watch and I am super happy I did. The main reason was the size. The Tactix is very large and I wanted something smaller and this fit the bill. Little did I know how much better it would be. The Forerunners gen 5 sensor is so much better. It captured much more data in short load high intensity anaerobic activities like weight lifting and tennis. My Exercise Load (EL) was way higher than I knew. Also, my HRV was much lower.

I purchased this in early September and the Garmin Forerunner 570 has exceeded all my expectations. It strikes the perfect balance between advanced performance features and everyday usability. The GPS locks on quickly and stays accurate throughout my runs, even on winding routes or wooded trails. The heart-rate tracking and training metrics feel noticeably more precise than previous models, and the new pace‑prediction tools have been incredibly motivating.
The display is bright and easy to read in any lighting, and the battery life is outstanding—I can go several days with mixed training before needing to recharge. I also love how seamlessly it syncs with the Garmin Connect app, making it simple to track progress, set goals, and review workouts in detail.
If I could change one thing, it would be to make the watch face a bit larger for even easier viewing at a glance. But overall, the Forerunner 570 is a reliable, comfortable, and feature‑rich companion. Highly recommended!
