A seemingly perfect watch for an attainable price. But with all of these metrics they are missing elevation gain, a simple but essential tool for runners. With everything else, it feels that this omission is on purpose to force you into a higher model.

I like the watch I have enjoyed it. As a swimmer, however it somehow has no idea how many laps I am swimming for incense I swim 200 m at a time and it requires 50 m, maybe 150 m but never 200 at the end of the workout however it does have the correct number of meters I have swam. If you have any advice for me, I'd love to hear it as to how I could fix this problem, but besides that the watch is great.

I have had the Forerunner 70 for a few weeks now. My main reason for switching to the Garmin product was battery life. I have only charged it once or twice since the time I've opened the package. It is nice to be able to do longer activities and continue getting metrics. I would definitely recommend for an entry level watch!

I started running in January of 2026. As a Mom of two kids, it was time to prioritize my health. 1 mile turned into 2, then 3, and the next thing i knew I was running my first half marathon in April. Running became a pretty big part of my day to day life. I decided it was time to treat myself to a watch that would help with my training. I had no idea where to begin, but started with Garmin because they are a well known brand. I love the Forerunner 70. It's great at tracking my outdoor runs and is very accurate on my treadmill runs. I love to go through the stats after I finish a run and the body battery is a helpful tool to let me know when I'm pushing myself a little too much. Tracking my sleep has also been incredibly useful. It's great at giving you a lot of data, but not overwhelming you with it if that makes sense. It's easy to read and understand. Set up was easy, it pairs with my phone easy. It's a great running watch and it doesn't break the bank like some do. I wish I had bought it sooner.

Overall I like the appearance and set up. However, the battery life is not what Garmin promised. It supposed to last for 13 days but it last only for 5 days even I changed the settings to maximize the battery life and still not working. I don't recommend it if you're an athlete

Little bit of a learning curve with the new watch. Enjoy the newer features. Nice price point. Even though I'm not a runner, I like to track my other activities from strength training to walking and much more.

I like it, however problems linking to Express. I ddi all the usual suggestions I saw. I even uninstalled and installed. Would love to figure this out. Enjoyed the features from my previos forerunner.

I bought this watch about 3 weeks ago and I have loved the features. I switched from a Garmin Forerunner 220 to 245 to 70. This has been my favorite watch so far! I feel like it tracks my sleep very well and helps me track my workouts well!

I bought it 2 days ago but it is to small for the rist. The company i order it can't change it since i opened the packaging . If i had the chance to change it i would definitely do

The Forerunner 70 is a big upgrade over the Forerunner 55. Once you get used to the differences, it is easy to use. I would still prefer a MIP screen, that would make the watch perfect.
