Go Beyond Peak Performance With Garmin's New Forerunner 570, 970, HRM 200, & HRM 600!
Workouts are about to get epic! Garmin has launched the Forerunner 570 and Forerunner 970, its latest GPS running and triathlon smartwatches with advanced training tools, recovery insights, personalised workouts and more to help athletes reach their next personal best. Alongside the smartwatches, Garmin also introduced the newest heart rate monitor lineup, the HRM 200 and HRM 600, offering athletes enhanced performance data and more accuracy with a comfortable fit. Featuring Garmin's brightest AMOLED displays yet, the new Forerunner 570 and Forerunner 970 add a built-in speaker and microphone, Garmin Triathlon Coach training plans, an evening report and more to trusted health, wellness and connected features. Forerunner 970 also introduces a built-in LED flashlight and new performance features – like running tolerance, running economy and step speed loss – that are backed by Garmin data scientists and sports physiologists. And athletes can do more and charge less; Forerunner 570 gets up to 11 days of battery life in smartwatch mode, while Forerunner 970 offers up to 15 days. The HRM 600 and HRM 200 are premium heart rate monitors designed to deliver accurate heart rate and heart rate variability (HRV) data across a variety of activities, from running and cycling to gym workouts. Both models transmit real-time data to compatible Garmin smartwatches, cycling computers, and apps, helping athletes better understand and optimise their performance. The HRM 600 adds advanced features like running dynamics, standalone activity recording without a watch, and a rechargeable battery – ideal for serious training. With two strap sizes available for both models, athletes can find their most comfortable and secure fit. Forerunner 570 To help athletes achieve their goals, Forerunner 570 includes advanced running metrics like training status, wrist-based running power and running dynamics, acute load, training effect, performance condition, VO2 max and more. Every morning, athletes can see their training readiness score based on sleep quality, recovery and training load so they know whether it's a good day to go hard or take it easy. Runners can also view the daily suggested workout that is made specifically for them and that adapts after every run to consider their performance and recovery, or use Garmin Coach training plans for running, cycling and strength to train for their next event. When running outdoors, athletes can execute their race day strategy using PacePro – grade-adjusted pacing guidance – and train with confidence knowing that SatIQ technology and multi-band GPS will provide superior positioning accuracy while optimising battery life. Forerunner 570 is available in two sizes – 42mm and 47mm – and features an aluminium bezel and fun new colourways, like raspberry with a translucent bone/mango band, amp yellow with a translucent whitestone/turquoise band and indigo with a translucent imperial purple/indigo band. Available from 18th June, Forerunner 570 has a suggested retail price of RM2,399. Forerunner 970 Designed for those who are determined to break their own personal records, Forerunner 970 builds upon Forerunner 570 by adding built-in mapping. Whether running on city streets or riding through densely covered trails, Forerunner 970 includes full-colour built-in mapping to help athletes stay on track. Before heading out, create or find existing courses in Garmin Connect and seamlessly sync them to the watch to get turn-by-turn directions. While exploring, enter a distance on the watch and receive suggested routes to stay on track and on time with dynamic round-trip routing. Featuring a 47mm case size, Forerunner 970 is available in popular colour options like carbon gray DLC titanium with a black/translucent whitestone band, titanium with a whitestone/translucent amp yellow band and soft gold titanium with a french gray/translucent indigo band. Available from 18th June, Forerunner 970 has a suggested retail price of RM3,269. What's New With HRM 600 Expanded running dynamics : The new step speed loss feature tells runners with the newly released Forerunner 970 how much they slow down when their foot hits the ground. Runners can also improve their form with existing running dynamics like stride length, vertical oscillation and ground contact time balance – all of which are available with select smartwatches, like the new Forerunner 570. Activity recording : From team sports like basketball and soccer, to activities when a smartwatch can't be worn, record workout data – including heart rate, calories, speed, distance and more and view it afterwards in the Garmin Connect app. Rechargeable battery: Get up to 2 months of battery life with every charge. Functional design: With the press of a button, easily wake and pair the heart rate monitor. Plus, the LED light will indicate when it's awake, when the battery is running low and more. Activity tracking: Track steps, calories burned, heart rate, intensity minutes and more without a smartwatch, then sync to Garmin Connect to update all compatible Garmin devices. Available from 11th July onwards, the HRM 200 and HRM 600 have suggested retail prices of RM349 and RM739 respectively. The Forerunner 570 and 970, HRM 200 and HRM 600 will be available for purchase on Garmin Official e-store, Shopee, Lazada, AECO e-store, Garmin Brand Stores and all authorised retailers.

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.
