Garmin Forerunner 170 – Made to Run
Whether you're starting your first 5K or trying to improve your next race time, the Garmin Forerunner 170 gives you much more than basic pace and distance.
Its bright 1.2" AMOLED touchscreen combines everyday smartwatch features with Garmin's serious running, training and health technology.
Understand Your Training
The Forerunner 170 doesn't just record a run. Features including Training Readiness, Training Status, wrist-based Running Power and Running Dynamics help you understand how you're performing and whether your body is ready for another hard session. Garmin
There are also 80+ built-in sports apps, covering activities including running, cycling, swimming and strength training.
Health & Recovery
Wear it throughout the day and overnight to track heart rate, sleep, HRV status, Pulse Ox, stress and recovery-related information.
Garmin's Sleep Coach and advanced sleep tracking help turn all that data into something you can actually use. Garmin

Why We Think It's Cool
It's a smartwatch that actually wants you to get off the sofa.
The Forerunner 170 takes some of Garmin's more advanced training technology and puts it into a lightweight watch that's approachable enough for someone buying their first serious running watch.
ITsCool Verdict
A very good fit for ITsCool. Garmin is a strong brand, running and fitness tech suits your site, and the AMOLED screen gives it considerably more visual appeal than traditional sports watches.
One thing to watch when listing it: there are Forerunner 170 and Forerunner 170 Music versions. The standard 170 doesn't store music; the 170 Music adds downloadable music and podcasts for phone-free listening. Garmin
Run smarter, recover better and leave the phone behind a little more often – available from ITsCool.ie.
