Great features long battery life
Excellent garmin watch. Battery lasts long and so many great features and long battery life
Running oldie, 55 - 64
Great watch!
I brought this watch last week and I’m glad I did!

Great, but.
Great watch for running and general exercise with great features and stats, great battery life. My only issue is I'm heavily tattooed so sometimes I've got to mess around with the watch a bit to find a spot so the pulse detector works. I've had days where I've put the strap on tight and its blistered my skin. I'm changing arms the watch is on to give my skin a rest. Considering buying and trying a nylon strap. Other than that the watch is great and works fine. Im only just over a week into it so still getting used to it.

Great watch
Went from an apple watch to this for jogging, battery life feels like a dream coming from using an apple watch lol, the training plans are wicked and overall just a lovely watch i’m inlove with it as a guy i got the white one hoping it wouldn’t look too weird but genuinely looks sick

Great
.I’m very happy with my Garmin Forerunner 170. I bought it from Argos in Dagenham, and the buying experience was excellent. The watch is comfortable, easy to use, and has many useful features. I’m especially happy with the GPS, health tracking, and battery life. The only feature I wish it had is an ECG function.The product description stated that the watch has an ECG feature, but I found that ECG is not available on my watch. I would appreciate clarification about this. Overall, I’m very satisfied with my purchase and would recommend it to others.

Treat yourself
Upgraded from the vivoactive 3 (had that for 6 years), love the extended features on the new forerunner like the body battery and training readiness. Really accurate on the pool swim, look forward to trying the open water swimming soon too. Might even be persuaded to start running again after seeing the garmin coach
