GarminForerunner® 570, 42mm, Advanced GPS Running and Triathlon Smartwatch, AMOLED Display, Training and Recovery Features, Raspberry Aluminum with Translucent Bone/Mango Band

First time Garmin owner. I have no affiliation or relationship to either Garmin or Apple.If you primarily use your watch for running, Garmin is a must. The number or features and metrics are amazing. I really enjoy the body battery and sleep tracking to go along with all of the running stats. Overall I’m very happy with the purchase and could recommend the watch.The other perspectives to be aware of. Apple is still king when it comes to UI and software. It does have a bit of a Mac vs Windows or Apple vs. Android type feeling when using it. Getting started wasn’t as intuitive but still fairly easy. Apple has some nice safety features for hearing and health kit. Great Smart watch. Again though for running and fitness, Garmin is a perfect match because of its targeted features and watch battery life.I’m loving Garmin coach, it makes it easy to train without putting in a ton of work to know exactly what you should be running each day. I did need to change the Event type for my benchmark run to training to get it to start working though. Without figuring this out I ran 3 benchmarks in a row haha.the other issue I’ve seen is it appears all the music apps for Garmin are not great - you’ll most likely want to load your own music if you want that. I’m sure they’ll fix it over time thoughTLDR: if you are trying to get better at running, just buy it! Totally worth it.

I went back to Garmin after being on an apple watch series 8 for several years. It was absolutely the right move. The screen is very bright and easy to read and the battery life appears to be fantastic. The workout functionality is way better than I got with apple. I'm a bigger guy but I find big watches to be uncomfortable, the 42mm is definitely the right choice of size.The only thing I would change is probably the band, but there are plenty of cheap alternatives available.

Sadly I was in my swimming session and it stoped working water went inside or something the screen went all black

Overall excellent quality and definitely not too heavy! Fits my 6.5” wrist really well. Battery life is great and I especially appreciate the multi-band GPS, especially when running in dense downtowns or forests. It is a bit pricey, but overall the 5th gen HR sensor works like a charm and definitely feels good on the wrist. Only wish that either navigation or ECG came with the watch for the price.If sizing is a concern, I recommend people look at the 42mm variant if your wrist size is less than 6.25” overall.

Disappointing. They're really just a ramped up Garmin 165. Yeah they have a newer sensor, but the old one was excellent. I just can't get over the poor finish and build of these. My Galaxy watch 7 is not as good for health stuff, but pretty darn close. Unless you plan on wearing one to bed, I don't know why it matters if you're just going to charge it during the night. Way too expensive for what it is! When are they going to get Sapphire on their watches that don't cost $900! And why not a titanium bezel or case on a watch at this price point? Ridiculous.

Excellent watch - aluminum bezel is super light

I upgraded from an Apple Watch Ultra and am very pleased with my decision to switch. I found my old watch to be lacking certain advances and searched for watches that not only were pleasing to look at but also very functional for my needs. This watch meets them and beyond!

Shipping was fast, and I’m really liking the watch so far. It’s super light compared to Apple Watch Ultra, battery life is about 10 days long, the 42mm size is comfortable on my small wrist, and it only took like 2 minutes to set up.I also love that it comes with a bunch of features built in (sleep tracker, run coach, training readiness, etc.) without the need for a subscription. I used Apple Watch and Whoop with monthly subscriptions and I’m excited to save money moving forward without having to pay those.
