Which Is the Better Garmin Fitness Watch: Forerunner 170 vs. Forerunner 165
· By Endurance Wire
Garmin's Forerunner lineup has long been the go-to for serious runners, and the Forerunner 170 ( $299.99 ) is the company's latest attempt to thread the needle between accessibility and advanced features. It's positioned as a direct successor to the Forerunner 165 (which you can regularly find on sale for around $195 ), a watch earned its place as a solid entry point for runners who want the necessary metrics without the complexity of a pricey, multi-sport behemoth of a device.
