Garmin Forerunner 170

The Garmin Forerunner 170 is an entry-level GPS running smartwatch that serves as the successor to the Forerunner 165. It bridges the gap between basic trackers and high-end training devices by introducing advanced features typically reserved for more expensive models.

• Advanced Training Analytics: The biggest upgrade includes premium metrics like Training Readiness, Training Status, Acute Load, and Load Focus to optimize recovery and performance.
• Vibrant Display: Equipped with a bright 1.2-inch AMOLED touchscreen housed in a lightweight 43mm fiber-reinforced polymer casing.
• Quick Workout: A new feature that instantly generates running sessions tailored to your available time and preferred intensity.
• Built-in Sensors: Includes a barometric altimeter for elevation tracking, a gyroscope, a thermometer, and Garmin's Gen 4 Elevate heart rate sensor.
  
  
• Smart Capabilities: Supports Garmin Pay contactless payments and can connect to cycling power meters. (Note: A separate "Music" edition is available for $349 if you require on-watch Spotify or Amazon Music storage).
• Battery Life: Lasts up to 10 days in smartwatch mode (approx. 4 days with Always-On display active) or up to 20 hours in continuous GPS tracking mode.
