💡About the Garmin Forerunner 570
🎯 Who is this for?
Regular runners and triathletes who race 5K to marathon distances and want accurate multi-band GPS, detailed training load management, and Triathlon Coach structured plans. The speaker and microphone make it a more capable daily-wear watch than the FR265 it replaces.
Key strengths
- Multi-band GPS and Elevate Gen 5 sensor
L1+L5 dual-frequency GPS for precise tracking in cities and trails, paired with Garmin's most advanced heart rate sensor — adding skin temperature monitoring over the FR265.
- Built-in speaker and microphone
A first for this price tier — take phone calls, use voice assistant, and hear Bluetooth audio directly from your wrist. A meaningful upgrade over the silent FR265.
- Garmin Triathlon Coach
AI-powered triathlon training plans that adapt to your swim, bike, and run fitness — a key differentiator over the FR265 for multisport athletes.
The Garmin Forerunner 570, released May 2025, is the successor to the Forerunner 265 and Garmin's mid-range running watch — adding a built-in speaker and microphone for hands-free calls, the Elevate Gen 5 heart rate sensor with skin temperature, Garmin Triathlon Coach, and multi-band GPS, all on Garmin's brightest AMOLED display yet. Available in 42mm and 47mm at $549.
❓FAQs
What is the difference between Garmin Forerunner 570 and FR265?
The FR570 adds a built-in speaker and microphone for calls, Elevate Gen 5 heart rate sensor with skin temperature, Garmin Triathlon Coach, brighter AMOLED display, and an aluminum bezel. It costs $100 more than the old FR265 launch price at $549.
How does FR570 compare to FR170?
The FR170 (expected soon) will be the entry-level successor to the FR165 at a lower price. The FR570 adds skin temperature, Triathlon Coach, speaker/mic, and a larger display — pay the premium if you train for multisport or need the speaker.
Does the Forerunner 570 have maps?
No — the FR570 uses breadcrumb trail navigation but does not include full topographic maps. For turn-by-turn trail maps, look at the Forerunner 970 or Fenix 8.
Is Garmin Forerunner 570 good for marathon training?
Yes — training readiness, daily suggested workouts, race time predictor, and HRV-based recovery guidance make the FR570 one of the best tools for structured marathon preparation. Triathlon Coach also works for runners who cross-train.
Does Garmin Forerunner 570 have multi-band GPS?
Yes — it uses L1+L5 dual-frequency GPS with SatIQ technology, which significantly improves accuracy in cities, forests, and technical terrain compared to single-band GPS alternatives.
