Super bright OLED screen, top tracking accuracy, voice control and calls on your wrist are held back by high price
Garmin’s latest mid-range running and multisport watch has smartened up with a very bright OLED screen, voice assistant and upgraded sensors.
The Forerunner 570 continues the revamp of the company’s running watches, which have all gained more accurate GPS chips and improved heart rate monitors. The new model replaces the popular 265 and sits under the 970. It offers a similar look and feel to the top watch but with a few key features removed for a lower price.
Unfortunately the reduced price is still quite high at £450 (€550/$550/A$999), which puts the 570 well above most mid-range rivals and dangerously close to top-of-the-range money.
The 570 has quite a few updated hardware and software features, compared with the 265. It comes in a choice of 42mm or 47mm sizes and in a range of fun colours – or black for those looking for something more understated.
