Great Sport Watch
on September 22, 2025

Coming from an Apple Watch Ultra 2. I am very impressed with the Garmin ecosystem and this is my first Garmin device. I do wish that more metrics were reported to Apple Health and throughout the day, such as Heart Rate Variability, even sleeping HRV would be acceptable. I am not a fan of how notifications work, even when disabled in the Garmin Connect app they are still sent to the Garmin (just hidden). I would leave notifications enabled except when I read the notification on my Garmin it's still unread on my iPhone (unlike Apple Watch which shares read status). But, the built-in training plans, fitness metrics, etc. are top notch and worth hit for a serious athlete. One final note, the built-in microphone hasn't gotten very good reviews from people I have called using the Garmin, contrary to the Apple Watch which has a microphone indistinguishable from calling directly from the phone. Given the microphone is a selling point for this watch I wouldn't add too much weight to this feature, that being said I rarely would need to use the microphone on my watch.

Affordable with great features

I really like this watch, I previously had the 965 and I loved that watch until it just died on me. This was a good replacement but my one complaint is that the start/stop button is more towards my wrist making it hard to time multiple intervals. The button on my 965 was longer and flatter and much, much easier to use. Many times now when I go to stop my watch, I end up pressing my flesh against the button because I have no other option if my hand is reaching for the pool wall. Super annoying when I am doing sets of short intervals. Aside from the terrible placement of that button, the watch works great and the graphics are bright and easy to see.

Amazing Watch

I switched over from the instinct to this and it has been nothing short of amazing. The upgrade has definitely levelled up my running experience. Some of my favourite features are the bright amoled touch screen, music player, target pace alerts/audio prompts and accurate sleep tracker to name a few.
No regrets whatsoever and plan to hold this for years to come. Would absolutely recommend, super worth it for the long run.

Had a forerunner 25 for 10 years. Going to a 570 is a major leap ahead. Love it. Its a fitness smart watch! It can even track my fishing trips that i can then post to strava. Fun.

Best choice ever!

I bought the Forerunner 570 (47mm) one month ago, and I absolutely love it! I used to be an Apple Watch user, and switching wasn’t easy at first, but now I’m super happy.
For customers like me, let me share: you can use all the features seamlessly with your iPhone (I have an iPhone 14 Plus). You can read messages (though not reply), and you can both receive and make calls directly from your Garmin. Notifications come through perfectly.
One of the features that made me want to buy it is that I can use Spotify and play/download music.
I’ve also started training with Garmin Coach for my first run, and it’s been a great experience so far. This watch isn’t just a sports watch for me—it has changed my routine, my mindset, and even my life. It gave me back the feeling of being able to push myself and stay focused.

This is the most expensive Garmin watch I have purchased. So far, impressed with the features and performance that are more
“Top tier” level. Looks great, and the colors are lovely. Large watch face is beautiful. Watch weight is light and the band is very comfortable! Love it!
