💡About the Garmin Forerunner 570

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.

  • 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.

🎯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.

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.
