This flagship Garmin fitness watch is shockingly accurate
I spent a month with Garmin's flagship running watch to judge whether the Forerunner 970's accuracy and new features live up to the price.
The end result was ten miles of boringly accurate GPS data, with Garmin ( orange) generally closer to my real-life position and COROS ( blue) slightly adrift but always parallel. I've found that Garmin's estimate has always correctly judged the relative impact load — like recognizing that a blistering two-mile track workout might cause as much strain as a normal four-mile run — across this past month of training. It will overwhelm someone who isn't prepared to dive into menus to find all of this data, but Garmin veterans will love the 970 simply for training load focus, weekly mileage tolerance, and the brighter display.
