Our take on the Garmin Forerunner 170 HRM With GPS Watch

The Garmin Forerunner 170 is a GPS running watch built for newer runners, with wrist heart rate, pace and distance tracking and adaptive Garmin Coach plans that adjust daily to your recovery. It adds HRV status, training readiness and training status, which are usually reserved for pricier Forerunners. Battery life runs up to 10 days in smartwatch mode and up to 20 hours with GPS on. It suits runners who want structured guidance without a multisport or mapping watch, and it undercuts higher Forerunner models by leaving out maps, multi-band GPS and triathlon modes.
