Garmin Forerunner 570 review

The Forerunner 570 is the Garmin most runners should look at first. It carries the training stack Garmin is known for: training readiness each morning, training status, acute load, HRV status, recovery time, a race predictor and Garmin Coach plans that adapt as you go. SatIQ technology picks the GPS mode, including multi-band, to balance accuracy and battery. Garmin Pay, music downloads from Spotify, Deezer, Amazon Music or YouTube Music, and a built-in speaker and microphone for calls make it a full everyday watch. Two case sizes help smaller wrists. The cost is battery and price. Garmin rates it at up to 18 hours in GPS mode and 10 days as a smartwatch, well short of the COROS watches, and at $549.99 it costs more than twice the PACE 4. It also lacks the built-in maps and flashlight of the Forerunner 970. If Garmin's training data is what you want, this is the sensible place to buy in.
