| RUNNING ECONOMY | RUNNING TOLERANCE | FULL-COLOUR MAPPING |
| Measure your overall energy efficiency while running — using long-term running volume, stride length and step speed loss, which tells you how much you slow down when your foot hits the ground — when you pair your watch with the HRM 600 heart rate monitor (sold separately). | Better understand the impact each run has on your body, and get a recommended weekly maximum mileage so you can keep training effectively without taking on too much. | Whether you’re running on city streets or riding densely covered trails, the Forerunner 970 smartwatch provides full-colour, built-in mapping — now even more dynamic, intuitive and simpler to follow. |
 |  |  |
| GARMIN COACH ADAPTIVE TRAINING PLANS | TRAINING READINESS | BUILT-IN SPEAKER AND MICROPHONE |
| Train for an event, reach a goal or improve your fitness with Garmin Coach training plans for running, triathlon, cycling or strength. Selected plans adapt daily to your performance, recovery and health, so your training is made just for you. | From the moment you wake up, get a readiness score based on your sleep quality, recovery, training load and more, so you can determine whether it’s a good day to go hard — or take it easy. | Make and take phone calls from your watch when it’s paired to your smartphone. Plus, control watch functions with voice command — or use your smartphone’s voice assistant to respond to text messages and more. |
 |  |  |
| MORNING REPORT | EVENING REPORT | TURN-BY-TURN DIRECTIONS |

| DYNAMIC ROUND-TRIP ROUTING | TRAINING STATUS | DAILY SUGGESTED WORKOUTS |
| Enter the distance you want to cover and get suggested routes that bring you back to the start. If you go off course, your watch creates a new route that matches the same distance. | Using indicators such as HRV status, your recent exercise history and VO2 max, get an easy insight into training effectiveness — and know whether you’re training productively, peaking or strained. | Workouts made for you. They adapt after every workout to match your performance and recovery. |
 |  |  |

 |  |  |
| NAP DETECTION | HRV STATUS | SKIN TEMPERATURE |
| Automatically log or track naps so you can assess their benefit and check their recommended timing and duration. | The ECG app2 uses sensors to record the electrical signals that control your heart.

 |  |  |
| WOMEN’S HEALTH TRACKING | RACE PREDICTOR | PROJECTED RACE TIME |

 |  | |
| WRIST-BASED RUNNING DYNAMICS | STEP SPEED LOSS | WRIST-BASED HEART RATE |
| This smartwatch measures key running data such as cadence, stride length, ground contact time and more. | Improve your running form and understand how much you slow down when your foot hits the ground when you pair your watch with the HRM 600 heart rate monitor (sold separately). | Your watch continuously monitors your heart rate so you know how hard you are working during activities1. |

| MULTISPORT WORKOUTS | HILL SCORE | ENDURANCE SCORE |

 |  |  |
| ACUTE LOAD | LOAD RATIO | PERFORMANCE CONDITION |

 |  | |
| SUGGESTED FINISH LINE | BUILT-IN SPORTS APPS | |
| If you have a course loaded for your race, your watch can suggest trimming your data to the finish line if you forget to stop your timer. | Tap in to 30+ built-in activities, including cycling, open-water swimming, strength training and more. |
