Garmin Yereunner Review 970: A very additional operating watch

It contains 15 new sports files compared to Yereunner 965, including things like rear ice skiing, PickleBall, and even some sports. The menu is not wide like Fenix 8, which can follow surfing and now works as a full diving clock for entertainment Scuba and Freediving. It seems really that the deficiency is the distinction between the Yeleunner lines and the Fenix, because updating the program can do so.

Fortunately, the map features were fond of Fenix 8, which are excellent. Because it comes with broad installed topographic maps. Colorful, bright, and easy to move through pirates and eavesdropping. A new feature is to direct a journey back and forth, with corrections (theoretically). If you are in an unfamiliar city, you can tell the watch that you want to run 5 miles and you will suggest a loop. If you accidentally take a wrong turn or see the beautiful thing you want to go to, you will be re -distinguished cold to your hotel while reaching your goal distance (within the limits of the mind, of course).

It is a great idea, but I have never been able to work. If you get out of the road, the entire clock will be disrupted, and you have to run it. We hope this is something that Garmin can repair in updating future programs (updates almost once per month). On the upper side, I found that GPS performance is accurate, even between trees, slopes and long buildings.

A lot of competition

It should be noted that Garmin also launched the new term Raed 570. It has a shorter battery life, less -fell materials (Gorilla Glass 3 against sapphire, aluminum frame against titanium), a lesser memory at 8 GB for 32 GB, without a built -in maps, and no manual lamp. You can get a loudspeaker and microphone, and there is a 42 mm screen option instead of only 47 mm, which is great for those who have smaller wrists.

With all that has been said, many of these features are available on Fenix 8. Fenix 8 has more expensive materials, such as the entire titanium body; Some devices themselves, such as the microphone, amplifier, and the best battery life. There are some features that are currently not available, such as running, but those coming Update a huge new program Garmin just announced.

Fenix 8 is more expensive than Yereunner 970, but it is also older. If Fenix 8 is offered for sale, as it does, it is not rational to obtain it instead. Forerunner 970 is a distinctive watch with advanced features that give you a lot of insight and help if you are trying to go to professionals, but it may be exaggerated if you do not want to ski at times.
