Garmin® Forerunner® 970, Premium GPS Running and Triathlon Smartwatch, AMOLED Display, Built-in LED Flashlight, Carbon Gray DLC Titanium with Black Case and Black/Translucent Whitestone Band

Fantastic item, worth the expense. Lots of running data (probably more than I need, would be enough for an elite runner). Upgraded from a Forerunner 165 mainly for the maps (which are excellent, almost OS map quality) and the ability to plot courses on the watch. Music and lap times through bluetooth headphones. The watch also has a speaker to give times and warnings about pace (too slow/fast) which are useful during races when I don't wear headphones. Also has inbuilt torch which is good enough to assist when running after dark, and suprisingly useful at other times (think searching in dark cupboards, examining fuse box, etc). Battery normally lasts me about five days, with running everyday and on a fairly bright setting. Would be less if you used the "always on" setting. Screen bright and easy to read, even when racing (without my reading glasses!), and the screens are all customisable whether you are interested in pace, distance, heart rate, time in heart zones, ascent/descent, etc. The watch has metrics for loads of other sports, including cycling, swimming, snowboarding, etc, which I cannot comment on, but for a distance runner this is probably the best sports watch available today.

I’ve had 4 garmins, including a Fenix 6s pro, but this is the best I’ve had by miles! The battery life is brilliant, the screen is amazing and exiting else is brilliant too.
