Honest Review
I honestly love Garmins. I’ve used them for the last 20 years running. I have owned several different models.This one is less intuitive. I have been a little overwhelmed with trying to figure out all the features on the watch and finding corresponding app information. I’m sure with a little bit more time I’ll figure it all out. I’ve gone running with it lots of times and it seems to be super accurate and at least that part is easy. Using it for gym workouts has been complicated. All of the feedback it gives me is so so. A little hard to interpret and really look at deeply. The sleep recording is hit or miss. I wear it all the time and sometimes it doesn’t record the sleep at all.

Simplistic — love it
I bought this a few weeks ago and love it! I primarily use it to track my runs / hikes. Nothing fancy— perfect starter Garmin for me!

good solid functionality
Bought this as a replacement for my 45s and I'm really enjoying the update. I particularly like the additional activity types and the enhanced smartwatch capabilities over the 45, and that it now works as well for my indoor activities as it does when I go for a run.

Another Great Forerunner
I've had my new Forerunner 70 for about 3 weeks and like is so far. It has a better screen than the Forerunner 245 it replaced, and better battery life even when using GPS. The one teeny gripe is that it still uses the Garmin proprietary connector that needs frequent cleaning in order to get the charging cable to electrically connect reliably.

Entirely customizable
This is my first Garmin. It said this model was entry level however, the program and stats it provides is abundant. I was shocked to see that when I logged my weight training it knew which primary and secondary muscles I targeting without selecting it. I appreciate that I can add my running and trail shoes to the workouts so I’m not having to guess when I should replace them. The buttons are easy to negate as well as the touch screen. I like that I can personalize what I can see on the main clock face. I can’t hear the alarm tones due to my partial hearing loss, but the watch allows me to turn off the tone and only have the vibration setting, which was a pleasant surprise. Overall, I’m impressed with how much you’re able to customize it to your preference and how much detail it provides for workouts, hikes, or runs.

Bare bones
The Garmin devices are either stripped down or loaded to the hilt. Need a device with barometer, pulsox, heart rate, color touch screen but without large storage capabilities. I presumed that this device would at least count floors while on GPS but nope. So much for my floor trends, previous heart rate trends as the new device seems to have changed all of that.

Great watch
I bought the watch a month ago and it is perfect for my needs. It is easy to set up and use, and has updated features compared to my previous forerunner 45. In addition, Garmin gave me a substantial discount because the lug broke on my 7 year old forerunner 45 that was clearly out of warranty. I highly recommend this watch and Garmin.

Better than the 55
I had a Garmin 55 battery wasn’t lasting very long and was looking to upgrade watches. I like the options with the apps th 55 didn’t have SUP option, I do Marathon Canoe Racing, the canoeing app I had to use used up a lot of battery ! So far this watch in SUP mode works perfect !! Had the 55 about 4 years hoping the 70 battery lasts longer. So it’s been an excellent upgrade

Great watch and perfect for what I need.
Great watch and perfect for what I need. Dont run, but I do quite a bit of biking and hiking and it keeps these in check and shares them on Stava. Also great a checking my sleep patterns and heart rate at various times in the day. So far the battery life is great. My only issue compared to my last Garmin watch is that the sleep alarm does not seem to wake me up like the other one.

GARMIN forerunner 70 absolutely must!!
I had an Apple Watch SE before I switched over to a GARMIN, and don’t get me wrong I loved my Apple Watch but I wanted to invest into something new! So I talked to my friends and they told me the forerunners are there favorites! So I invested into a GARMIN forerunner 70 and I love it! Everything about it!!!

I'm a Garmin girl!
Purchased this about a month ago after my 9 year old Forerunner 35 finally died. I debated other brands and other watches but I asked myself - if my Forerunner had outlasted any other watch or brand that I had why was I going to mess with a good thing? I couldn't be happier with the "new to me" features on the 70 and I've even received compliments on the citron color. So glad I stuck with Garmin!

The best
I absolutely love my Garmin! It’s cute, comfortable to wear, and does so much more than just tell time. It tracks my runs, workouts, heart rate, sleep, stress, recovery, and so many other health metrics with great accuracy. I especially love the detailed reports and insights—it makes it easy to see my progress and stay motivated toward my fitness goals. The battery life is fantastic, and the app is very user-friendly. If you’re looking for a smartwatch that combines style with excellent fitness tracking, I highly recommend Garmin. It’s been one of the best investments I’ve made for my health and training.

Amazing features!
I bought this about a month ago and so far i am loving it! I have been using the Garmin recommended strength training workouts for 2 weeks and they are so challenging without being impossible to complete. Though, my favorite thing may be the sleep/body awareness features. Definitely worth it!
