  • •Offline maps at a lower price matter more to you than smartwatch-style extras
  • •You're fine staying in the training analytics tier rather than paying for more

The Full Story

Pace Pro keeps everything that makes the Pace line great and adds real navigation, making it the pick for runners who occasionally explore new routes or trails. Still light, still focused, just a bit more capable.

The 570 layers a speaker, microphone, and voice assistant onto Garmin's mid-range running watch, closing some of the gap with true smartwatches. It's a genuinely nice watch, just priced close enough to the 970 that it's worth comparing both before buying.

*Estimated — this model's exact GPS battery life isn't published by the manufacturer. All figures are standard GPS mode, midsize case, no solar boost.

†Estimated — this model launched too recently to have an established customer rating yet.
