Featuring a sharp 1.2-inch AMOLED touchscreen, an intuitive interface, and a familiar five-button physical design, the new duo offers an easy-to-use experience right from the first run. The devices also come equipped with a variety of workout and health tracking tools, along with long-lasting battery life, helping users maintain an active lifestyle without needing to recharge daily.

In addition, the new Quick Workouts feature allows users to quickly perform workouts tailored to their fitness level with just a few simple steps, based on desired duration and intensity.

It also integrates many advanced training features developed by Garmin Human Performance Lab, such as Training Readiness, Training Status, Running Power, and Running Dynamics.

Users can easily purchase water or snacks during workouts without needing to carry a wallet or phone.

For music lovers, the Forerunner 170 Music version supports downloading playlists, podcasts, or songs directly to the watch for independent listening via wireless headphones without needing to connect to a phone.
