Garmin Forerunner 70 GPS Watch

For runners looking to get more out of their workouts, the Forerunner 70 utilises a bright AMOLED touchscreen display, is easy to use, and has everything you need to start your running journey, with features that support beginner-level runners.

Battery Life and Watch Face

Outlast your longest workout with battery life you can rely on, even in the middle of an Iron Man triathlon or ultra-marathon. The Forerunner 70 features a 13-day battery life when in smartwatch mode and up to 23 hours in GPS mode. Saving power, the watch's smartwatch mode can be activated at any time and deactivated when you no longer need it, so you can conserve battery in your downtime and burn it when you need to. A bright 1.2-inch AMOLED touch screen ensures a clear display and is easy to use with side buttons that enhance navigating the watch, while the lightweight fibre-reinforced Polymer bezel offers optimal durability.

GPS Features

The Garmin 70 is perfect for tracking a multitude of sports and activities! The multi-frequency satellite tracking with SatIQ technology provides accurate location data, even in tricky spots. It's impressive how it can track your runs, whether you're on roads or trails, and provide detailed stats like distance, speed, and effort. It also uses advanced running dynamics to measure things like stride length and vertical ratio, and shares all the information with Garmin Connect. The safety features make this watch useful, too, making it easy to share your location if needed.

Multi-Sports

The perfect watch for all sports, the Forerunner 70 lets you change things up with ease thanks to 80+ built-in sports apps for running, cycling, swimming, triathlon, trail running, hiking, strength training and many more. The watch is also compatible with advanced workouts for virtual running, indoor cycling and even pool swimming.

24/7 Health And Wellness Monitoring

The watch takes you beyond your sport and is fitted with 24/7 health and wellness monitoring designed to help you optimise your recovery. On your wrist, elevate wrist heart rate technology lets you monitor your heart rate without wearing a chest strap. In addition to counting steps and monitoring sleep, the watch uses heart rate to provide calories burned information and quantify the intensity of your fitness activities. It also measures your heart rate variability to calculate a stress score that helps you assess what level of activity your body is ready for. The watch will also monitor your sleep to keep tabs on your well-being and how much restful sleep you're getting each night. Using a Pulse Ox sensor, the watch estimates your blood oxygen saturation so you can see how well your body is absorbing oxygen when you sleep. This technology also shows when your body is likely to be at optimum performance, so you can plan your day around peak activity times. Morning reports and training readiness features combine your health and training data for easier interpretation and analysis.

Advanced Performance Analytics

Through the watch, you can receive personalised training and recovery insights to help you prepare for future races. It works to keep track of your maximal oxygen uptake during exercise and understand how external factors may affect your performance. The Forerunner uses this data to evaluate your recent exercise history and performance indicators to let you know if you're training productively, peaking or overreaching. It can also view your overall training load, which measures your exercise volume from the last seven days and compares it to the optimal range for your fitness and recent training history. The watch also provides you with daily suggested workouts, which adapt after every run to match your performance and recovery.

Garmin Connect

The watch allows you to connect with online fitness communities close to you and all over the world. Garmin Connect is an online tool for tracking, analysing and sharing all activities captured by your watch with other members of the Garmin family. The watch automatically uploads your data to Garmin Connect so you're always sharing your progress and achievements. From your data, Garmin Connect will provide you with detailed analysis and health stats in weekly, monthly and yearly reviews. You can also create workouts directly on your watch based on desired time and intensity level.

Through the watch, you can receive training plans and customised workouts from your personalised Garmin Coach. With multiple coaches to choose from, you'll be sure to receive the correct training regimes, plans and advice to increase your performance. Thanks to the amazing tracking capabilities of the watch, your coach will be able to see every performance and tailor tips and advice to suit your needs.
