Garmin  Forerunner 570

This is my first Garmin watch. I switched from fitbit as I just felt like they could be doing more. I've had it for almost a month now and it does so much more. There is a bit of a learning curve because there are so many features. For my mixed training and general health tracking this watch is perfect. I also enjoy the added insights within the app specifically for sleep and workouts but I'm sure there's more I just haven't dug into yet. It's also fits comfortably on my 155mm wrist. Swapping out the bands was a little difficult but I don't plan on doing that often. Overall, 100% worth it and will be sticking with Garmin from here on out.

I bought this about a month ago and love all the features. I will say I love the extended battery life. Now I know some people get a couple weeks or longer from a charge. I am usually once a week charge but I also think I am someone who drains watch batteries. My previous fruit watch wouldn’t last the whole day would be dead within 8-10 hours and this was always the case for multiple different smart watches I have tried. So I feel once a week charge for an hour or so is nothing. Overall very pleased with how well it works and the breakdown stats of everything. I love the customization you can do with workouts!

As the end of my first month approaches, I wonder how I ever got by with a Garmin watch before! Went with the Forerunner 570 for the added features, and I've been loving the daily outlooks and Garmin Coach training. I have run close to a dozen half marathons prior to deciding to upgrade my smart watch and register for my first marathon this coming October. So far the training plan it has recommended for me has been great and I also really like the race predictor feature! Great battery life as well. So far I am very impressed, and hope as I continue to use it and grow with it, that it continues to live up to my expectations!

I love the new Garmin 570. I’ve been in Apple user forever. And the one thing that was holding me back is that it didn’t do everything. My Apple Watch did comparing sinking, making calls text all the things, and this watch hits the mark fills in the gaps that I needed for my Apple Watch And is incredibly more accurate and tracking my mileage, getting an AI coach setting up a plan all the metrics I need and more. I love this thing sad it took me so long to swap over but it was well worth the weight. This thing is perfect.

First off let me just say I have had a Garmin watch since the 920XT came out. I use the watch for triathlons, marathons and just about everything else. This watch display is great and I love how the brightness can be turned up or down depending on what you like. Also love that I can lock my watch too, feels better since I have my wallet linked to the watch and have to take it off every once in awhile. But I really love all the data metrics I can see with just the watch itself without needing a HRM. Don’t get me wrong, I have one and use it but it’s also nice when I am traveling or don’t have time to grab it. The only two downsides are: 1. The battery is utterly terrible, especially if you have notifications turned on or track SpO2, HR, etc. all the time. With the 935 I could do this and it would still last almost two weeks without needing a charge. I find that the 570 I have to charge it once a week—that’s without music being played on it. 2. For some reason the underside of the watch (where the sensor is) digs in my skin a lot more than the 935. Unfortunately, if I loosen it up it won’t read my HR correctly on my wrist. Overall, a great watch—and am sure to have this for several years.

Upgrading from 245 music after BT stop playing music, I was trying to decide between the 265 with longer battery life or the 570 with the newer features and speaker/phone connection and happy that I chose the 570. I get about a week of battery life, with three 3m runs a week with music and GPS and 3-4 hours of tennis daily with no GPS. I'm happy with that. Love the morning & evening reports! It really makes me look at recovery and sleep as an important aspect of training. Didn't think I would use the phone connection, but the once or twice a day that I do, it's been useful and convenient. The smaller 42mm fits nicely on a small wrist, and I love the colors! Overall, very happy with the 570!

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.

I was an Apple Watch user before my Garmin and I was a little hesitant to purchase at first. One of my friends had recently purchased one and I was so surprised by the data it gives you after a run or a workout!! Then, I realized I needed and really wanted the Garmin! I pulled the trigger and purchased the Forerunner and I absolutely love it!! I’m obsessed!! I have it on all the time and it’s easy to learn and use! The data that you get after a workout is so informative, but I’m a nerd when it comes to that! The battery life alone is enough to switch and plus the color of the watch is really unique and cute! I will not go back to purchasing an Apple Watch!

I am a long distance runner...I retired my Apple watch with the Garmin Forerunner 570 42mm. I cannot say enough great things about this watch. As a runner, I needed the battery to last a long time and my Apple Watch was not cutting it. My Garmin 570 Forerunner has 11 days worth of battery! Unreal and so awesome. This watch is the best watch for running...hands down. If you want a smart watch, stick to the Apple watch...if you want a active/fitness watch, get the Garmin Forerunner 570! You will not be disappointed.

The 570 was the lowest price watch with the aluminum case. That was an important factor because my previous Forerunner (645) broke as a result of a weak spot at the attachment point of the band. I am not interested in the music feature but the display and health data is nice. I am a runner and I especially appreciate the seamless interface with my I-phone 11 and the Garmin Connect App. It took me a while to get the watch set up so that the battery doesn’t need to be charged every other day. After making some adjustments to brightness, notifications, and moving completed activities from the watch to my laptop, I have over 85% battery after 2 days without a charge.
