I Upgraded From the Garmin Forerunner 165 to the 970, and It Was Worth the Cost for Me
· By Endurance Wire
In the past few years, I’ve gone from being a defiant minimalist runner , to becoming a humble fan of Garmin’s most entry-level running watch, to now falling in love with the company's top-of-the-line Forerunner. A quick cheat code to understanding the model numbers in Garmin’s Forerunner line: The first number tells you how fancy (and expensive) the watch is. This means that my upgrade from the Garmin Forerunner 165 to the Forerunner 970 is not a small step up the ladder. Honestly, it's more like skipping the ladder entirely and taking the elevator to the penthouse.
