Not Very good speakers and not very good swim lap
The speakers doesn't work all the time when I am trying to get a phone call. The lap swim mode gives a lot not usefull data and does;t stay in a screen. Also it doesn't detect well the laps

Expectations exceeded!
I bought mine a few weeks ago, and so far it's significantly exceeded my expectations. I wasn't sure what to expect, but the fit and finish, features/ functionality, and performance are top-notch.

Recurring Voice Alerts Do Not Work
I upgraded to the Forerunner 570 from a Vivoactive 5 a few weeks out from my first marathon. I would love to give it five stars as it is almost perfect, except for one thing; the recurring voice alerts/audio prompts do not work on my Forerunner 570. They worked just fine on my Vivoactive 5. I like for my watch to tell me my pace every minute and my heart rate every 2 minutes through my headphones, so I am not looking at my watch as much when running. I went through several troubleshooting methods and even contacted support. I have the recurring voice alerts turned on correctly in the activity focus mode, they simply just do not work. At first I just though it was an issue with my headphones, but after some googling, it turns out this is a common issue that Garmin is aware of and still has not fixed. It is affecting other models of the watches as well. I've been having this issue for almost a month now, but it has been going on even before that according to other people with the same issue. Once Garmin fixes this issue, I would love to change my review to 5 stars and say the Forerunner 570 is absolutely perfect and I wear it every single day. It is really great for runners and I would highly recommend it if you don't use the audio prompts, but if you do, I would go for another model, I don't know when this issue will be fixed.

Thank you for your feedback! I'd like you to make sure that you have the latest version of the Garmin Connect app installed. To update Connect, please visit your mobile device's app store. If it's already up-to-date, then I'd like you to try completely uninstalling and reinstalling the app. If your Connect app is up-to-date and you're still not receiving audio prompts for Laps, then I recommend the following: 1. Make sure that Lap Alerts are enabled. You can do so by holding the middle-left button and selecting Watch Settings > Focus Modes > Activity > Voice Alerts > Lap Alert. 2. Restart both your watch and your phone. If this issue persists, please reach out to Garmin Support directly so they can assist you further. You can do so at 1-800-800-1020 Monday-Friday, 7am-7pm Central.
Cute but no flashlight
I just bought this watch and am so sad about it. I was most excited for the built in flashlight feature only to find out this only has a screen flashlight. I should’ve gotten the 970 but it’s probably too late now. Don’t make my mistake. Don’t be sad like me.

First Garmin, so worth it!
This is my first Garmin watch. I switched from fitbit as I just felt like they could be doing more. I've had it for almost a month now and it does so much more. There is a bit of a learning curve because there are so many features. For my mixed training and general health tracking this watch is perfect. I also enjoy the added insights within the app specifically for sleep and workouts but I'm sure there's more I just haven't dug into yet. It's also fits comfortably on my 155mm wrist. Swapping out the bands was a little difficult but I don't plan on doing that often. Overall, 100% worth it and will be sticking with Garmin from here on out.

Beautiful display, easy to use, well-crafted
I received this as a gift and have worn it daily for over a month now. The display is beautiful, the battery life is incredible, and the flexibility is phenomenal. I use this as a daily smart watch (time, receiving text messages/phone alerts, etc.), I also use the voice assistant feature A TON (setting timers usually), and use it to track daily exercise (yoga, running, strength). So far, I've loved using it to track my runs, and it works beautifully with my Runna App workouts that I have already set up. I can't say it's my favorite for the yoga workouts and the way it counts for strength workouts is awesome, just not that accurate for me yet. So far, I'm in love with this and so excited to learn more about what all it can do!

Great Features!
I bought this about a month ago and love all the features. I will say I love the extended battery life. Now I know some people get a couple weeks or longer from a charge. I am usually once a week charge but I also think I am someone who drains watch batteries. My previous fruit watch wouldn’t last the whole day would be dead within 8-10 hours and this was always the case for multiple different smart watches I have tried. So I feel once a week charge for an hour or so is nothing. Overall very pleased with how well it works and the breakdown stats of everything. I love the customization you can do with workouts!

I love the functionality and appearance of the 570
The 570 was the lowest price watch with the aluminum case. That was an important factor because my previous Forerunner (645) broke as a result of a weak spot at the attachment point of the band. I am not interested in the music feature but the display and health data is nice. I am a runner and I especially appreciate the seamless interface with my I-phone 11 and the Garmin Connect App. It took me a while to get the watch set up so that the battery doesn’t need to be charged every other day. After making some adjustments to brightness, notifications, and moving completed activities from the watch to my laptop, I have over 85% battery after 2 days without a charge.
