Garmin Malaysia has officially introduced the latest additions to its elite GPS smartwatch lineup—the Forerunner 570 and Forerunner 970, designed to cater to athletes aiming for peak performance.
Alongside these high-performance smartwatches, Garmin has also launched two new heart rate monitors, the HRM 200 and HRM 600, offering precise metrics and comfort for those serious about their training.
Whether you’re preparing for your next triathlon or working toward your personal best in running, these wearables deliver smarter tools, detailed health insights, and innovative features tailored for performance-driven individuals.
Forerunner 570: Smart Training on Your Wrist
The Garmin Forerunner 570 introduces a perfect blend of style, durability, and intelligence. Available in two sizes (42mm and 47mm), it sports Garmin’s brightest AMOLED display to date, housed in a sleek aluminum bezel.
Fitness enthusiasts can enjoy up to 11 days of battery life in smartwatch mode—an impressive number for a feature-packed device.
What sets the Forerunner 570 apart is its Garmin Triathlon Coach training plans that adapt daily based on performance, recovery, and overall health.
Runners can also enjoy custom multisport workouts, projected race time prediction, auto lap by timing gates, and an evening report that summarizes sleep needs and tomorrow’s training outlook.
For more accurate training data, the watch provides advanced metrics such as VO2 max, training readiness, wrist-based running power, and recovery insights. Whether you’re running outdoors or indoors, the multi-band GPS with SatIQ ensures precision tracking while optimizing battery usage.
It also supports smart notifications, Garmin Pay, and offline music streaming from Spotify or Deezer, making it a true all-in-one companion for modern athletes.
Forerunner 970: Taking Smartwatches to the Next Level
While the Forerunner 570 caters to dedicated athletes, the Forerunner 970 is for those who want even more. Featuring a premium sapphire lens, titanium bezel, and a bold 47mm case, it’s built to withstand extreme conditions without compromising style.
One of its standout features is the built-in LED flashlight, which offers multiple brightness settings for safety during early morning or late-night workouts. The 970 also delivers up to 15 days of battery life in smartwatch mode, ideal for extended training blocks or adventure races.
Exclusive performance features include running tolerance, which evaluates how much weekly mileage your body can handle safely, and running economy, a measure of energy efficiency while running. Paired with the new HRM 600, the watch can even analyze step speed loss—a revolutionary insight for refining running form.
In addition, Forerunner 970 is the first in its series to offer built-in mapping and dynamic route suggestions, helping athletes stay on track whether on city roads or remote trails.
HRM 200 and HRM 600: Training Smarter with Accurate Metrics
To complement the new smartwatches, Garmin has also introduced the HRM 200 and HRM 600—two state-of-the-art heart rate monitors.
Both are designed to deliver accurate heart rate and heart rate variability (HRV) data in real-time, compatible with Garmin smartwatches, cycling computers, and third-party fitness apps.
The HRM 600 stands out with its ability to record activities independently (no watch required), and offers enhanced running dynamics like stride length, vertical oscillation, and the new step speed loss metric. It also features a rechargeable battery that lasts up to 2 months on a single charge.
Meanwhile, the HRM 200 is powered by a replaceable battery that lasts up to a year. It’s designed for seamless connectivity and is equipped with a status LED to indicate battery levels and pairing status. Both models are available in two strap sizes for a secure and comfortable fit.
