Garmin Forerunner 570 Smartwatch 47mm Slate Gray Aluminum with Translucent Black/Black Band

Love The Design But Hate The Battery
First off let me just say I have had a Garmin watch since the 920XT came out. I use the watch for triathlons, marathons and just about everything else. This watch display is great and I love how the brightness can be turned up or down depending on what you like. Also love that I can lock my watch too, feels better since I have my wallet linked to the watch and have to take it off every once in awhile. But I really love all the data metrics I can see with just the watch itself without needing a HRM. Don’t get me wrong, I have one and use it but it’s also nice when I am traveling or don’t have time to grab it. The only two downsides are: 1. The battery is utterly terrible, especially if you have notifications turned on or track SpO2, HR, etc. all the time. With the 935 I could do this and it would still last almost two weeks without needing a charge. I find that the 570 I have to charge it once a week—that’s without music being played on it. 2. For some reason the underside of the watch (where the sensor is) digs in my skin a lot more than the 935. Unfortunately, if I loosen it up it won’t read my HR correctly on my wrist. Overall, a great watch—and am sure to have this for several years.

First Garmin, so worth it!
This is my first Garmin watch. I switched from fitbit as I just felt like they could be doing more. I've had it for almost a month now and it does so much more. There is a bit of a learning curve because there are so many features. For my mixed training and general health tracking this watch is perfect. I also enjoy the added insights within the app specifically for sleep and workouts but I'm sure there's more I just haven't dug into yet. It's also fits comfortably on my 155mm wrist. Swapping out the bands was a little difficult but I don't plan on doing that often. Overall, 100% worth it and will be sticking with Garmin from here on out.

Best choice ever!
I bought the Forerunner 570 (47mm) one month ago, and I absolutely love it! I used to be an Apple Watch user, and switching wasn’t easy at first, but now I’m super happy. For customers like me, let me share: you can use all the features seamlessly with your iPhone (I have an iPhone 14 Plus). You can read messages (though not reply), and you can both receive and make calls directly from your Garmin. Notifications come through perfectly. One of the features that made me want to buy it is that I can use Spotify and play/download music. I’ve also started training with Garmin Coach for my first run, and it’s been a great experience so far. This watch isn’t just a sports watch for me—it has changed my routine, my mindset, and even my life. It gave me back the feeling of being able to push myself and stay focused.

Amazing Watch
I switched over from the instinct to this and it has been nothing short of amazing. The upgrade has definitely levelled up my running experience. Some of my favourite features are the bright amoled touch screen, music player, target pace alerts/audio prompts and accurate sleep tracker to name a few. No regrets whatsoever and plan to hold this for years to come. Would absolutely recommend, super worth it for the long run.

Great Features!
I bought this about a month ago and love all the features. I will say I love the extended battery life. Now I know some people get a couple weeks or longer from a charge. I am usually once a week charge but I also think I am someone who drains watch batteries. My previous fruit watch wouldn’t last the whole day would be dead within 8-10 hours and this was always the case for multiple different smart watches I have tried. So I feel once a week charge for an hour or so is nothing. Overall very pleased with how well it works and the breakdown stats of everything. I love the customization you can do with workouts!

I'm enjoying it more than I thought...
Upgrading from 245 music after BT stop playing music, I was trying to decide between the 265 with longer battery life or the 570 with the newer features and speaker/phone connection and happy that I chose the 570. I get about a week of battery life, with three 3m runs a week with music and GPS and 3-4 hours of tennis daily with no GPS. I'm happy with that. Love the morning & evening reports! It really makes me look at recovery and sleep as an important aspect of training. Didn't think I would use the phone connection, but the once or twice a day that I do, it's been useful and convenient. The smaller 42mm fits nicely on a small wrist, and I love the colors! Overall, very happy with the 570!

FANTASTIC WATCH
I am a long distance runner...I retired my Apple watch with the Garmin Forerunner 570 42mm. I cannot say enough great things about this watch. As a runner, I needed the battery to last a long time and my Apple Watch was not cutting it. My Garmin 570 Forerunner has 11 days worth of battery! Unreal and so awesome. This watch is the best watch for running...hands down. If you want a smart watch, stick to the Apple watch...if you want a active/fitness watch, get the Garmin Forerunner 570! You will not be disappointed.

Great watch...if you can get a discount!
The notable updates from the 265 (which I also owned) are definitely a step-up: V5 HR sensor, speaker/mic, newer/brighter screen, UI, and a few minor hardware improvements (bezel). However, I would NOT pay full price for this watch, wait for a sale or use a coupon if you can find one, otherwise try to find the 265 or 965 on sale.

First month with my 570!
As the end of my first month approaches, I wonder how I ever got by with a Garmin watch before! Went with the Forerunner 570 for the added features, and I've been loving the daily outlooks and Garmin Coach training. I have run close to a dozen half marathons prior to deciding to upgrade my smart watch and register for my first marathon this coming October. So far the training plan it has recommended for me has been great and I also really like the race predictor feature! Great battery life as well. So far I am very impressed, and hope as I continue to use it and grow with it, that it continues to live up to my expectations!
