Our take on the Forerunner 170

The Garmin Forerunner 170 is a lightweight GPS running watch with a 1.2-inch AMOLED touchscreen, a 41 g fiber-reinforced polymer case and 5 ATM water resistance. It carries Garmin Coach plans, training readiness, training status, recovery insights, sleep score, Pulse Ox and more than 80 sport profiles, plus music storage and Garmin Pay. It sits below Garmin's higher-end Forerunners on mapping and battery, but it gives beginners and everyday runners the core training toolkit in a smaller, lighter package.
