I Upgraded From the Garmin Forerunner 165 to the 170, and Here's How to Decide If You Should Too

· By Endurance Wire

I love my Garmin Forerunner 165 . So when Garmin announced its successor, the Forerunner 170, I had to find out: How much did Garmin really upgrade this model? After testing both and comparing them in-depth , here are my thoughts on which watch is actually a better value, depending on what kind of runner you are. The Forerunner 170 costs $299 , compared to $249 for the 165 at full price. The music versions follow the same pattern, with the 170 Music landing at $349 versus $299 for the 165 Music.
