Goodbye Apple Watch!

Just picked up the Forerunner 570 after weeks of research and YouTube videos. Excited to try it out and say goodbye to my Apple Watch Ultra.

My very first 5k

Completed my first ever 5k run without stopping! I followed Garmin 5k plan with coach Jeff since July 1st 2025. I’m so happy I got it done. Definitely will be looking to improve my time for my next run but just wanted to share this achievement here 😃

Switched from Apple Watch S10 to Forerunner 570.

Apple Watch definitely has its strengths — super accurate heart rate, seamless iPhone pairing, and all those nice health insights like sleep tracking.

But honestly, I was struggling with its GPS accuracy, especially when running around tall buildings or under trees. The pace readings would sometime

Finally settled on Fenix 8 - as Garmin intended

I was complaining Garmin was holding back features until everyone bought Fenix 8 no matter what the focus is. As a very happy AW8 owner who is training for a half marathon, i started with Venu3s -> gave it back bought Forerunner 570 -> and gave it back to finally buy Fenix8. It is 47mm - i thought i

Forerunner 570 -> Fenix 8

I picked up the Forerunner 570 a few weeks ago and really liked it. However after doing a little more research, I found myself wanting the Fenix 8. Traded in the 570 and paid the difference.

First Garmin - FR570

Finally made the switch from Apple Watch to the Forerunner 570. I know the 265 is a better deal atm but I wanted the newest sensor and the 970 is too big on my tiny wrist. Happy with the watch already! Can’t wait for all the data and new insights ☺️

Forerunner 570

I have been an Apple Watch wearer and lastly had the Ultra 2. I don't know why but apple seems quite far behind compared to other options out there. At least for my needs and interests. Plus the interface is so oooooolllllddd... So I switched to the 42 inch Forerunner 570. I wish Garmin offered this

My first Garmin watch

My first Garmin Watch - Forerunner 570. I know this watch is not that popular here. I went to the store to choose between 265 and these, leaning towards 265, but the black version was out of stock. I like my accessories to be black, and the price wasn't that much higher, so here I am!

Very happy w

After months of comparison fatigue, it's finally mine! Seriously, I watched every comparison video out there (looking at you, 970, 965, and 955) and spent way too much time scrolling through positive reviews here on Reddit. The Prime Day deal was the perfect excuse to finally pull the trigger on the
