1 / 7Garmin Forerunner 570 47 mm AMOLED GPS Running Smartwatch
The Garmin Forerunner 570 is a 47 mm GPS running smartwatch with an AMOLED display, training tools and phone-paired calling. Its claimed battery life varies by mode, reaching up to 11 days in smartwatch mode and up to 18 hours in GPS mode, so frequent GPS sessions may mean more charging than everyday smartwatch use.
At a glance
- Garmin claims up to 11 days in smartwatch mode and up to 18 hours in GPS mode. These are separate mode-specific estimates, not one battery-life figure.
- Garmin Coach plans for running and triathlon can adapt to performance and recovery. Training readiness and training status are also provided as estimates based on tracked data.
- The listing describes a built-in microphone and speaker for calls when paired with a smartphone. Voice-assistant functions also rely on the paired phone.
- More than 30 activity profiles are listed, including running, triathlon, cycling and open-water swimming.
- Incident detection and Assistance require setup, a compatible paired smartphone and available network coverage and data connectivity.

Pros and cons
Pros
- The separate smartwatch and GPS battery estimates clarify the trade-off between daily wear and longer GPS sessions.
- The training plans and readiness-related metrics give runners and triathletes tools to structure workouts around recovery.
- Built-in GPS and multiple activity profiles support tracking a range of outdoor and fitness activities without relying on the phone for GPS.
Cons
- The listed GPS-mode battery estimate is up to 18 hours, substantially shorter than the smartwatch-mode estimate, which may matter for long GPS sessions.

Confirm the physical dimensions and weight with the selected listing before buying. Battery figures are mode-specific estimates, and listed tracking metrics are not stated to be medical measurements.
