Which Is the Better Garmin Watch: The Forerunner 70 vs. the Forerunner 170
· By Endurance Wire
Garmin's Forerunner lineup has always been a bit hard to parse, and the new Forerunner 70 and Forerunner 170 aren't making it any easier. Both belong to the same modern generation of Garmin running watches, and they share the same core software features. These models are aimed at runners who want more than the basics, but who don't necessarily need Garmin's top-tier hardware. The key question is: what does an extra $50 (or $100, for the Music edition) actually get you? The short answer: More sensors, more hardware capabilities, and a few features that could matter a lot to you, depending on how detail-oriented your training gets.
