Forerunner 970

Unless you just like tons of data and getting into some kind of comparative analytics, if you have no intention of not wearing the forerunner 970 as you currently do, I can’t see a value case. The cirqa value case for many is the ability to not be wear their bulkier watches as much and potentially w

Very good answer. OP - for first time runner (and also a veteran one) basic watches will get the job done. For Garmin their running range is called Forerunner - as you go in price you get music, breadcrumb trail, then full maps , a flashlight and titanium bezel with sapphire glass on the top 970 mod

Moved from FR 965 3 month ago to pace 4. The whole coros system is miles better than Garmin. You won’t feel the quality like you do with with your 970 but the price difference between the watches you can’t expect the same build quality, but the pace 4 is extremely light to the point you don’t even f

I think if you’re okay sacrificing the torch, the Forerunner 965 could be the best fit for your use. It’s almost half the price of the new 970, has great battery life, and still gives really solid fitness/running data.

I still tend to compare Cheetah line with Forerunner. And here I can get to about 40 - 50 EUR difference to Forerunner 970.

I'd switch to Coros.Frankly I feel like I'm tolerating Garmin, lately. Every single one of their new watches comes with less battery life than its previous models, the Fenix lineup is getting ridiculous, they didn't even bother making a small size MIP F8, the Venu 4 is now a 2 buttons only watch, al

Forerunner 970. Might be overkill for me being a novice runner though. There’s other more economical tiers that probably do the same thing. Garmins are known for good activity tracking. I’m sure you can get comparison lists of functionalities across lines

Absolutely. For that price you can buy garmin fr 970 (discounted) and the Coros apex 4 is a 100eur cheaper.

balance 2 is what you want. Its just as good, if not better than the forerunner 970 in so many ways, and its only 299 US

Update: Went with Garmin Forerunner 970 Premium GPS Running and Triathlon Smartwatch since battery life kept coming up as way more important than I originally thought for marathon training. It also seemed like something I could keep using long after this first race instead of upgrading again right a
