Our take on the Garmin Forerunner 70 Smartwatch

The Forerunner 70 is Garmin's entry-level running watch, with a 1.2-inch AMOLED screen at 390x390, built-in GPS, wrist heart rate and 5 ATM water resistance in a plastic case on a silicone strap. It covers the basics runners need: pace and distance, heart rate zones, step counting and phone notifications over Bluetooth. Against pricier Forerunners it drops multisport modes, barometric altitude and advanced training metrics, so it suits new runners and casual exercisers more than triathletes. Owners rate it highly for its bright display and simple setup.
