I had a Garmin 55 battery wasn’t lasting very long and was looking to upgrade watches. I like the options with the apps th 55 didn’t have SUP option, I do Marathon Canoe Racing, the canoeing app I had to use used up a lot of battery ! So far this watch in SUP mode works perfect !! Had the 55 about 4 years hoping the 70 battery lasts longer. So it’s been an excellent upgrade
Great watch and perfect for what I need. Dont run, but I do quite a bit of biking and hiking and it keeps these in check and shares them on Stava. Also great a checking my sleep patterns and heart rate at various times in the day. So far the battery life is great. My only issue compared to my last Garmin watch is that the sleep alarm does not seem to wake me up like the other one.
I had an Apple Watch SE before I switched over to a GARMIN, and don’t get me wrong I loved my Apple Watch but I wanted to invest into something new! So I talked to my friends and they told me the forerunners are there favorites! So I invested into a GARMIN forerunner 70 and I love it! Everything about it!!!
Purchased this about a month ago after my 9 year old Forerunner 35 finally died. I debated other brands and other watches but I asked myself - if my Forerunner had outlasted any other watch or brand that I had why was I going to mess with a good thing? I couldn't be happier with the "new to me" features on the 70 and I've even received compliments on the citron color. So glad I stuck with Garmin!
