Garmin launched a lot of watches in 2025 but didn’t update the more affordable end of its Forerunner line, so it’s not a surprise that the first major Garmin release of 2026 is an entry-level running watch.
Three entry-level running watches in fact. The Garmin Forerunner 70 is the most affordable new option in the Garmin lineup, replacing the Forerunner 55, while the Garmin Forerunner 170 and Forerunner 170 Music replace the Garmin Forerunner 165.
