If you buy through a link here, the store pays me a small commission. Your price stays exactly the same. How that works.
My short take
Garmin rates the 47 mm Forerunner 970 at 15 days in smartwatch mode and it weighs about 56 g. The list price is $749.99, the most of any Forerunner. Sources disagree on whether the water rating is 5 ATM or 10 ATM.
