useful features

It is loaded with features that are useful to my training and the OLED display is easy to see except in direct sunlight. I also like the morning and evening daily reviews and prompts to log daily health habits.

Improve Pool Swim Tracking Algorithms

I really enjoy my Forerunner 970, especially for running and triathlon. However, the pool swimming tracking needs significant improvement. The current lap detection algorithm is unreliable in several common training scenarios: * Warm-up swimming at an easy pace frequently misses pool lengths. * Technical drills (kickboard, single-arm, catch-up, sculling, etc.) are not detected correctly. * Slow swimming often results in missed or incorrect lap counts. * Mixed drill sessions require manual Drill Log entry, which interrupts the workout and creates extra work for swimmers. For comparison, I previously used an Apple Watch Ultra, and its automatic lap detection during pool workouts was noticeably more reliable, even during warm-ups and many drill-based sessions. Many structured swim workouts include a large amount of technique work, not just continuous freestyle. Improving the motion-recognition algorithms for these common swimming patterns would make Garmin much more useful for swimmers and triathletes. Please consider improving: * Automatic lap detection during slow swimming. * Recognition of common swim drills. * More robust detection when stroke mechanics differ from standard freestyle. * Smarter use of accelerometer and gyroscope data to reduce missed lengths. The running and cycling experience on Garmin is outstanding. Bringing pool swim tracking to the same level would make the watch even better for multisport athletes. Thank you for considering this feedback.

Finally moved from Ultra

I have had my Garmin FR970 for 2 weeks now, switching from Apple Watch Ultra. So far so good. The best thing is of course is the battery life, but there are better options out there. I am still getting used to all the. Features and capabilities. Especially the recovery times is very new to me…seems very conservative that after a hard session, I have to recover 60 hours!

Great new features

I love this watch, the screen quality and durability are a most for this type of watches, the software works better than in the older models which makes it easy to use and understand, the lamp is a great and useful add-on which I really appreciate.
