Lightweight with Outstanding Performance

Since 2018, I've used the Phoenix 5X, Enduro 1, and Epix, and now I've purchased the Forerunner 970. What I love most is how incredibly lightweight it is. Despite being so light, it offers a wide range of features. The AMOLED display on the Epix already felt like a whole new world, but now the functions are so diverse that I sometimes don't even know where to start. I hope the durability continues to improve compared to the previous 9 series. Thank you!

LOVE MY GARMIN

Switched from Apple watch 11 to this 3 weeks ago and love everything about it. Flashlight, battery life, and fitness tracking are so superior. The vibration on the alarm is better and i still get text and phone notification which is all i need for a watch. Not having to charge it every day is actually awesome much bigger deal that i thought it'd be and the interface is better since everything's integrated and you don't have to bounce through different apps like on the apple watch. The buttons are great to and garmin pay works just as well as apple pay.

Excellent features

I really love my Forerunners 970. Mainly the flashlight. Because I run super early in the morning while still dark, that flashlight keeps me visible from the cars.
