Inaccurate
on October 25, 2026
Posted by: JR34590
Tested against Oura, iPhone Health and my actual step counts, my Garmin 70 runs 20-30% low. The sleep tracking is much improved from the Garmin 35, but it’s not so great at the asleep/awake distinction, and over-estimates deep sleep, though not as badly as the 35. And I’m not sure about the accuracy of the pulse oximeter. Intellisense works better than it used to, but overall my 70 is disappointing — I won’t be using it.

This product is amazing. Battery lasts forever, very accurate results. I’ve been using the running features to plan workouts. This watch has everything.

Okay I guess

I like the watch, however, I'm still trying to get use to it . I like the upgraded features especially locking when I'm not using to avoid unintentional starts of workouts. That use to really get on my nerves with my old watch. The one thing I'm having issues with is the disconnecting with my phone. I've only had my watch for about a month and I already had to reconnect or pair with my phone twice. I need to pair it again but just haven't set aside the time to do so.

I bought this watch about a month ago and I love it. For some reason it gave me motivation to run and stay consistent. As a new runner the coach feature was really nice to help me get some structure to my running.

Love my Forerunner!

Although I’m still getting used to my Garmin forerunner and still finding new features, I’m incredibly pleased with what I’ve experienced so far. The activities I monitor seem much more accurate than other tracking devices I’ve used in the past. Accuracy of data is so important when assessing how well you’re doing with the plan.

Honest Review
on October 9, 2026
Posted by: Lbad
I honestly love Garmins. I’ve used them for the last 20 years running. I have owned several different models.This one is less intuitive. I have been a little overwhelmed with trying to figure out all the features on the watch and finding corresponding app information. I’m sure with a little bit more time I’ll figure it all out. I’ve gone running with it lots of times and it seems to be super accurate and at least that part is easy. Using it for gym workouts has been complicated. All of the feedback it gives me is so so. A little hard to interpret and really look at deeply. The sleep recording is hit or miss. I wear it all the time and sometimes it doesn’t record the sleep at all.
