Garmin Forerunner 70, 170 और 170 Music — Tech giant Garmin has launched three new premium fitness-tracking smartwatch models, further strengthening its position in the Indian market. Expanding its popular running-centric series, the company has launched Garmin Forerunner 70, Forerunner 170 and Forerunner 170 Music in India. In all three smartwatches, users have been given a 1.2-inch always-on AMOLED display and many advanced sensors for health tracking.
Garmin has introduced these three smartwatches according to different budgets and needs. The price of Garmin Forerunner 70 in India has been set at Rs 32,990. This base model has been available for sale from July 3 on the official website of Garmin India, e-commerce platform Flipkart and the company’s authorized retail partners.
On the other hand, the two other models that come with more features and advanced tracking are priced slightly higher. The price of Garmin Forerunner 170 has been kept at Rs 39,490 and the premium Garmin Forerunner 170 Music, which comes with music storage support, has been priced at Rs 45,990. Both these models can be purchased from today i.e. July 4 through the company’s official website, Amazon India and authorized offline retailers across the country.
Talking about the features, all three new smartwatches have a crisp and bright 1.2-inch AMOLED display which supports always-on mode. For fitness and running enthusiasts, Garmin’s special Elevate wrist-based heart rate monitor has been provided. Apart from this, it also includes Pulse Ox sensor for accurate monitoring of blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) in the body, which keeps a close eye on the user’s health data during workout and sleep.
In terms of battery also, this time Garmin has claimed strong performance. According to the company:
If you are a professional runner, athlete or serious fitness freak, then this new series from Garmin has emerged as a strong option for you. The Forerunner 170 Music model is great for those who like to listen to music directly from the watch without the phone during their workout. Since the sale of Forerunner 70 has started from yesterday and the remaining two models are going live on Amazon from today, Apple and Samsung’s smartwatches are going to face tough competition from Garmin in the premium segment.
