The Garmin Forerunner 70 is an impressive entry-level running watch for a reasonable price. What it lacks in smart features, it makes up for in heady running insights, metrics, and guidance for pavement pounders of any level. It also boasts a comfortable and durable case, a bright AMOLED screen, and adequate battery life. However, the lack of an onboard altimeter results in less than reliable climb data, and the lack of a body temp sensor limits women's health tracking tools.
Pros
+Advanced running insights and training tools
