Garmin Forerunner 970 Carbon Grey DLC Titanium with Black Case and Black/Translucent Whitestone Band

Garmin's Brightest, Most Advanced Running Watch Yet.

For performance-driven runners, there's Forerunner 970, the premium GPS running and triathlon smartwatch with Garmin's brightest AMOLED display, durable sapphire lens and lightweight titanium bezel. This is the most feature-rich Forerunner to date, crafted for athletes who demand serious tracking firepower without sacrificing comfort.

Brightest AMOLED Display with Sapphire Crystal Lens

Featuring a 1.4 inch AMOLED touchscreen display with button controls for easy navigation, paired with a durable, scratch-resistant sapphire lens and lightweight titanium bezel that withstand the harshest of environments. The display is brighter than the Fenix 8 and far ahead of the previous Forerunner 965.

Built-In LED Flashlight for Every Hour of the Day

A built-in LED flashlight lets you quickly control brightness right from the display for greater awareness in dark environments, whether you are out for an early morning or late-night run.

Three Performance Metrics New to Garmin

Running economy measures your overall energy efficiency after several runs, step speed loss shows how much you slow down when your foot hits the ground, and running tolerance helps you understand the real impact running has on your body so you can adjust training to avoid overload and improve, all backed by Garmin's data scientists and sports physiologists.

ECG App and Skin Temperature Tracking

Using sensors on the watch, the ECG app records the electrical signals that control how your heart beats and analyzes that recording to detect signs of an irregular heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation, while skin temperature tracking adds another layer to your sleep and recovery insights.

Built-In Speaker and Microphone for Calls

The Forerunner 970 can receive calls and smartphone notifications when your phone is nearby, including emoji and photo previews on Android devices, keeping you connected even mid-run.

Garmin Coach and Triathlon Coach Training Plans

Train for an event, achieve a milestone, or improve your fitness with personalized Garmin Coach training plans for running, cycling and strength, plus the new Garmin Triathlon Coach, all of which adapt based on your performance and recovery.

PacePro and SatIQ for Race-Day Confidence

Execute your race day strategy using PacePro grade-adjusted pacing guidance, while SatIQ technology and multi-band GPS provide superior positioning accuracy and optimize battery life when it matters most.
