Garmin Forerunner 70 – Start Running Smarter
The Garmin Forerunner 70 is designed for anyone who wants to take running and fitness a little more seriously without buying one of Garmin's expensive high-end watches.
A bright 1.2" AMOLED touchscreen, built-in GPS and advanced Garmin training features give you useful information before, during and after your run.
More Than Pace & Distance
Built-in GPS tracks your route, pace and distance, while Garmin's training tools help you understand how your fitness is developing.
You get features including Training Readiness, Training Status, wrist-based heart rate and running metrics, bringing technology normally associated with more expensive sports watches into an entry-level Forerunner. Garmin
Health & Recovery
Wear it beyond your run and the Forerunner 70 can monitor sleep, HRV status, Pulse Ox, stress and everyday activity, helping you understand the balance between training and recovery. Garmin
