Garmin Forerunner 170 Music Review with 4 Comparisons: All the Garmin You Need (and Maybe Even a Little You Don’t!)

Tue, 09 Jun 2026 · By Endurance Wire

I have tested a surprising number of running watches over the last year or two, from Garmin’s Venu X1 ( RTR Review ) and Forerunner 570, to the Coros Pace 4 ( RTR Review) , and plenty of miles in the Pace 3 before it, plus the Apple Watch Series 11 ( RTR Series 10 Review ) . Despite that, I still find myself returning to the same watch more often than not: an Apple Watch Series 11. I find that many runners tend to hate this take. Part of that use (for me) is because I genuinely like smartwatches. Cellular connectivity is useful, especially with little ones at home.
