But later hints pointed towards the Forerunner 970, which is expected to debut alongside a more affordable Forerunner 270.

New Developments

With all these whispers about the new Forerunner smartwatches, Garmin has also hinted at upcoming LTE versions of the Fenix E, Fenix 8, and other premium models, along with a new version of the Fenix 8. Interestingly, it seems that a different smartwatch called the Forerunner 570 might be released ahead of these other models.

Details on the Forerunner Series

So far, not much has come to light regarding the Forerunner 270, 970, or 975. In contrast, there’s already a picture, specifications, and store listings for the Forerunner 570 that have surfaced online. To start with the visuals, the Forerunner 570 continues the five-button design of recent models like the Forerunner 265 (curr. $339 – renewed on Amazon).

Features and Pricing

There will be two sizes for the Forerunner 570: 42 mm and 47 mm, which is slightly different from the Forerunner 265 that had sizes of 42 mm and 46 mm. Both models are expected to come with AMOLED screens, cases made of fiber-reinforced polymer, and aluminum bezels. The larger version is anticipated to have a longer battery life of 11 days in smartwatch mode and an additional hour of GPS multi-band battery life for up to 14 hours.

The two models are also likely to include Garmin’s Elevate V4 sensor array. According to Italian retailer Capo Nord, the Forerunner 570 will cost €549 (about $615) for either size option. The retailer mentions that all versions should hit the market this summer, although FitnessTrackerTest suggests a possible launch in spring 2025.
