Good features. Not just for runners!

Little bit of a learning curve with the new watch. Enjoy the newer features. Nice price point. Even though I’m not a runner, I like to track my other activities from strength training to walking and much more.

It’s ok for running and sleep stuff

Works great for running. Absolutely terrible for any kind of HIIT or strength training. Also terrible for automatic rep counts.

Battery life is not what Garmin promised

Overall I like the appearance and set up. However, the battery life is not what Garmin promised. It supposed to last for 13 days but it last only for 5 days even I changed the settings to maximize the battery life and still not working. I don’t recommend it if you’re an athlete

Nice upgrade

The Forerunner 70 is a big upgrade over the Forerunner 55. Once you get used to the differences, it is easy to use. I would still prefer a MIP screen, that would make the watch perfect.

Still not sure about this watch.

I've only had it for a coule weeks, but I'm not sure I like it. It has a lot of fetures I will never use. I have had to reset it twice because it was locked due to passcode problems that occured while I was sleeping. It was a real pain and very inconvenient. I literally mad ethe easiest passcode ever, 1-2-3-4, and it said I kept entereing it wrong and then locked my account. It told me to reset the passcode on the app and I kept getting error messages every time I tried. VERY frustrating.

Awesome Battery

I have had the Forerunner 70 for a few weeks now. My main reason for switching to the Garmin product was battery life. I have only charged it once or twice since the time I’ve opened the package. It is nice to be able to do longer activities and continue getting metrics. I would definitely recommend for an entry level watch!
