Garmin Forerunner 170 review: an affordable and accurate running watch

Garmin Forerunner 170.

While the most expensive Garmin models like the Fenix 8 Pro draw a lot of attention, it’s the entry-level watches that I see most often on the wrists of my fellow runners, so the launch of two new affordable Forerunners is a big deal.

The Garmin Forerunner 170 is the more expensive of the pair, offering more sensors and smart features than the Garmin Forerunner 70, but both are excellent options for runners in particular, thanks to their lightweight designs, accurate tracking, and relatively low price tags.
