## Overview

It offers up to 15 days of battery life in smartwatch mode and 26 hours in GPS mode, advanced running dynamics and energy efficiency metrics, built-in LED flashlight for low-light visibility, and multi-band GPS with full-color maps for precise navigation.

## Description

For performance-driven runners, there’s Forerunner® 970 — the premium GPS running and triathlon smartwatch with our brightest AMOLED display, durable sapphire lens and lightweight titanium bezel. Use the built-in LED flashlight for greater awareness when you head out before the sun’s up or stay out past dark. Understand your overall energy efficiency with running economy, and see how much you are slowing down when your foot hits the ground with step speed loss (HRM 600 monitor required; sold separately). Running tolerance helps you understand the real impact running has on your body so you can adjust your training to avoid overload and improve. Use multi-band GPS and full-color, built-in maps plus navigation enhancements to stay on track while you train. Forerunner 970 is ready to go as long as you are, with up to 15 days of battery life in smartwatch mode. If you ever go too far, use the built-in speaker and microphone to make a call from your wrist (when paired with your smartphone).

Review: Excellent product, best sports watch available. - Fantastic item, worth the expense. Lots of running data (probably more than I need, would be enough for an elite runner). Upgraded from a Forerunner 165 mainly for the maps (which are excellent, almost OS map quality) and the ability to plot courses on the watch. Music and lap times through bluetooth headphones. The watch also has a speaker to give times and warnings about pace (too slow/fast) which are useful during races when I don't wear headphones. Also has inbuilt torch which is good enough to assist when running after dark, and suprisingly useful at other times (think searching in dark cupboards, examining fuse box, etc). Battery normally lasts me about five days, with running everyday and on a fairly bright setting. Would be less if you used the "always on" setting. Screen bright and easy to read, even when racing (without my reading glasses!), and the screens are all customisable whether you are interested in pace, distance, heart rate, time in heart zones, ascent/descent, etc. The watch has metrics for loads of other sports, including cycling, swimming, snowboarding, etc, which I cannot comment on, but for a distance runner this is probably the best sports watch available today.
Review: Excellent - I’ve had 4 garmins, including a Fenix 6s pro, but this is the best I’ve had by miles! The battery life is brilliant, the screen is amazing and exiting else is brilliant too.
