GarminForerunner® 570, 42mm, Advanced GPS Running and Triathlon Smartwatch, AMOLED Display, Training and Recovery Features, Raspberry Aluminum with Translucent Bone/Mango Band

First time Garmin owner. I have no affiliation or relationship to either Garmin or Apple.If you primarily use your watch for running, Garmin is a must. The number or features and metrics are amazing. I really enjoy the body battery and sleep tracking to go along with all of the running stats. Overall I’m very happy with the purchase and could recommend the watch.The other perspectives to be aware of. Apple is still king when it comes to UI and software. It does have a bit of a Mac vs Windows or Apple vs. Android type feeling when using it. Getting started wasn’t as intuitive but still fairly easy. Apple has some nice safety features for hearing and health kit. Great Smart watch. Again though for running and fitness, Garmin is a perfect match because of its targeted features and watch battery life.I’m loving Garmin coach, it makes it easy to train without putting in a ton of work to know exactly what you should be running each day. I did need to change the Event type for my benchmark run to training to get it to start working though. Without figuring this out I ran 3 benchmarks in a row haha.the other issue I’ve seen is it appears all the music apps for Garmin are not great - you’ll most likely want to load your own music if you want that. I’m sure they’ll fix it over time thoughTLDR: if you are trying to get better at running, just buy it! Totally worth it.

I upgraded from an Apple Watch Ultra and am very pleased with my decision to switch. I found my old watch to be lacking certain advances and searched for watches that not only were pleasing to look at but also very functional for my needs. This watch meets them and beyond!
