The Forerunner 170 is Garmin's entry-level running watch with a bright 1.2-inch AMOLED touchscreen, wrist heart rate, and full GPS. It adds training readiness, training status, daily suggested workouts and Garmin Coach plans, which most watches at this level lack. At 41 g with a silicone strap it is light enough to wear overnight for sleep, HRV and Pulse Ox tracking. It sits below the Forerunner 265 and 570: those add multi-band GPS, more sport profiles and music, while the 170 keeps the core training tools and a long smartwatch battery. Owners rate it highly for ease of use and screen quality.

The Garmin Forerunner 170 is a GPS running smartwatch with a 1.2-inch AMOLED touchscreen. It tracks pace, distance and wrist-based heart rate, along with training and recovery metrics. Training readiness shows when you are ready for a productive workout, and training status shows whether your training is productive.
Garmin Coach adaptive training plans range from beginner level, with run/walk workouts and fewer runs per week, to plans for experienced runners who train at a higher volume and intensity. The plans adjust daily based on recovery and health metrics. Daily suggested workouts, including run/walk workouts, adapt after every run.
HRV status monitors heart rate variability during sleep. It also offers advanced sleep tracking, Pulse Ox blood oxygen readings, abnormal heart rate alerts, hydration tracking and women's health tracking. Battery life is up to 10 days in smartwatch mode and up to 20 hours in GPS mode.
