FORERUNNER 70 NOIR

The FORERUNNER 70 is a GPS running watch designed by Garmin, the world leader in sports watches. It is aimed at beginner or intermediate runners who want a lightweight, easy-to-read watch that can intelligently track their progress — without the advanced features that only triathletes and seasoned runners actually use.

A 40 g running watch with a 1.2-inch AMOLED display and multi-GNSS GPS: all the running essentials, with no compromises

Weighing in at 40 g on the scales, the Forerunner 70 is barely noticeable on your wrist — whether you’re out for a 5 km run on a Tuesday evening or a half-marathon on a Sunday morning. The 1.2-inch AMOLED screen (390 × 390 px) offers significantly better readability than the range’s previous MIP screens: race data remains legible in direct sunlight without the need for forced backlighting. Hybrid touchscreen and 5 physical buttons – which is essential for operating the device whilst wearing gloves or with wet hands. The multi-GNSS GPS ensures reliable positioning even in urban areas or under cover, and the 13-day battery life in smartwatch mode (23 hours in high-precision GPS mode across all systems) exceeds that of the Forerunner 165 by an hour and a half in this respect.

The wrist-based power output — previously reserved for top-of-the-range models as a real-time effort indicator — is now available on the FR70. Combined with HRV (heart rate variability) monitoring and the Training Readiness score, the watch provides a daily assessment of your actual ability to train — taking into account the quality of your night’s sleep, recent training load and stress levels. 

Expert’s advice: For runners starting out with Garmin Coach, activate the Run/Walk plan from the very first week — the programme incorporates walking phases calculated based on your actual fitness level and adjusts the training volume for each weekly cycle. 

Garmin Coach, Quick Workouts and daily suggestions: the running watch that plans your training for you

The FORERUNNER 70 features two complementary coaching tools. Quick Workouts allow you to create a structured workout in just a few seconds simply by entering your desired duration and intensity level. For longer-term projects (5 km, 10 km, half-marathon or marathon), the Garmin Coach plans are adjusted daily to reflect your current fitness level. The Garmin Run Coach programme, meanwhile, offers low-volume run/walk plans for complete beginners or those returning to running.

The daily training suggestions round off the package: every morning, the watch suggests a session tailored to your recovery, your accumulated training load and your resting heart rate — without you having to decide for yourself whether it’s the right day for interval training. For a runner who trains three times a week without a coach, this is effectively what replaces the intuition that takes years to develop. 

A watch that does the thinking for you, so all you have to do is run!
