The Garmin Forerunner 970 is the best Garmin watch for runners and triathletes, offering almost all of the key features of the Garmin Fenix 8 in a more affordable and lightweight package.
It also introduces some new features to Garmin’s range, such as running tolerance and economy estimates, and the upgraded design has a brighter AMOLED display than the Garmin Forerunner 965, plus a built-in flashlight and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal screen.
