Hey runners and fitness enthusiasts! Whether you’re just starting your first 5K or chasing a new personal best, Garmin has your back. On May 13, 2026, the brand announced two exciting new GPS running smartwatches — the Forerunner 70 and Forerunner 170 — set to arrive in India this June. Packed with pro-level features in an easy-to-use package, these watches prove you don’t need to be an elite athlete to train smarter.
Both models feature vibrant AMOLED displays, responsive touchscreens, and the classic 5-button design for quick control during sweaty runs. The best part? Long battery life that means less charging and more running — up to 13 days on the Forerunner 70 and 10 days on the 170 in smartwatch mode.
