I was lucky enough to be at the Garmin headquarters in Olathe, Kansas, when the company announced the Forerunner 570, Forerunner 970 and the HRM 600 heart rate monitor. I felt even luckier when we were handed a sample of the Forerunner 570 on the spot, which allowed me to test the watch before it became commercially available.
Now, a couple of weeks later, I feel like I've spent enough quality time with the new mid-range running watch to write this review. This is partially because the Forerunner 570 doesn’t introduce many new features. Indeed, most of the software features of the watch we’ve seen elsewhere, including the Garmin Forerunner 265, the predecessor of the 570.
