Our take on the Garmin Forerunner 970 47mm

The Forerunner 970 is Garmin's top-tier running and multisport watch, with a 1.4-inch AMOLED screen, a titanium bezel and a sapphire lens. It adds full-color built-in maps, adaptive Garmin Coach plans and training-load tools like running tolerance, which recommends a weekly mileage ceiling. It suits serious runners and triathletes who want deep training data and long battery life; it is heavier on features and price than the plastic-cased Forerunner 265 and 570, and its most advanced running-economy metrics need the separate HRM 600 chest strap.

Questions and answers

Does the Forerunner 970 need a chest strap for running economy?
Yes. Running economy and the stride and step-speed-loss data behind it require the HRM 600 monitor, which is sold separately. The watch works fully without it, minus those specific metrics.
How is it different from the Forerunner 965?
It keeps the AMOLED screen and maps but adds a titanium bezel, sapphire lens, running tolerance and adaptive Garmin Coach plans. Battery life is also longer in smartwatch mode.
Is the 47mm case too big for small wrists?
It is a large watch. Runners with slim wrists often find it bulky, so try it on if size matters to you.
Can it be used for triathlon?
Yes. It supports multisport modes and Garmin Coach plans for triathlon, cycling and strength as well as running.
Does it have built-in maps without a phone?
Yes. Full-color maps are stored on the watch, so you can follow routes without a phone connection.
What is in the box?
The watch and a charging cable. The HRM 600 chest strap is not included.
Where is the Garmin Forerunner 970 47mm cheapest?
At iRUN Singapore, for $802.90, as of our latest check.
