I love everything about Garmin's newest Forerunner watches, expect for one thing
If you're on the look-out for a new top running watch, you're probably considering a Garmin. Or at least you have at some point, thanks to the brand's stellar reputation. And the newest Forerunner watches are no exception. The new Forerunner 570 and Forerunner 970 are unapologetically aimed at those of us who treat our training metrics with more reverence than our bank balances. With some tasty upgrades and all the tracking features you know and love, they're still a great option to slap on your wrist. But I'm a little miffed to see a price increase this time around. Read more: Best Garmin watch in 2025 reviewed and rated Both watches now come equipped with Garmin's brightest AMOLED displays yet. I think this is one of the best features in the Forerunner series, as your VO2 max should be readable in full sunlight. The 570 keeps things lean with a choice of 42mm or 47mm cases and flashy new colour combos. Or, the 970 steps things up with a rugged sapphire lens, titanium bezel, and built-in mapping to guide you through city mazes or forest escapades. The whole set-up is data-driven obsession in the best way. You get metrics like running economy, skin temperature tracking, and even something called 'step speed loss.' If that doesn't make you feel like a lab rat with style, nothing will. And then there's Garmin Triathlon Coach, which offers training plans tailored to your current state of disrepair – all based on how well (or poorly) you've been sleeping and recovering. There's also an evening report to show how prepared (or unprepared) you are for tomorrow's session. For the truly data obsessed, the 970 goes even further. It layers on ECG readings and a flashlight, so that you're the most kitted-out person on your night run. Plus, Garmin's thrown in projected race times, running tolerance metrics and a heart rate monitor-based analysis of how much you slow down with each foot strike. The buttons, the training metrics, and fancy AI coach are all excellent additions to the Garmin Forerunner series. But – and it's a big but – the price is a turn off. The Forerunner 570 starts at $550/£460 and the 970 at $750/£630 and will be available to order from 21 May. That's around $100 more than the last generation. While extra features are nice, I'm not sure they justify the jump in price.

IMF visit begins Friday to assist with Pakistan's 2025–26 budget
Listen to article An International Monetary Fund (IMF) team will begin its visit to Pakistan tomorrow (Friday) to assist in the preparation of the federal budget for the upcoming fiscal year 2025–26. According to sources, the IMF delegation will hold discussions with Pakistani officials regarding future tax measures, revenue strategies, and expenditure control. Talks will also cover the allocation for development spending in the next budget. The federal budget for FY2025–26 is expected to be presented in the first week of June. The IMF team will collaborate with Pakistani authorities to finalise budget proposals. The Ministry of Finance has estimated a significant increase in tax collections by the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), setting the revenue target for the upcoming fiscal year at Rs15,270 billion. This marks an increase of Rs2,300 billion compared to the current fiscal year. In the previous fiscal year, the FBR collected Rs9,311 billion in taxes. For FY2025–26, direct tax collection is projected at Rs6,570 billion, compared to the current year's target of Rs5,512 billion. Eatrlier, The federal government fulfilled another condition of the IMF and approved the establishment of offices for the Director General of Special Measures and two Directors at the FBR Headquarters for coordination with field formations to address tax evasion. The notification further mentioned that these measures will help remove complexities that lead to a decrease in revenues and eliminate unnecessary obstacles in the tax collection process. Last month, Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb has said that talks between Pakistan and the IMF for over $1 billion tranche remained successfull. The finance minister made the statement during a meeting at the Prime Minister's House, which Shehbaz Sharif chaired to hear out the business community's grievances, according to the government sources. Shehbaz Sharif inquired from his finance minister whether the IMF handed over the Memorandum for Economic and Financial Policies (MEFP) to Pakistan – the set of policy documents that define the conditions for the loan tranche. Everything is in order and the IMF would release the statement on Saturday, Aurangzeb is said to have told the Prime Minister in the presence of the business community.
