Montre GPS Garmin Forerunner 970 Noir Titane Slate Garmin

For performance-driven runners, Garmin has designed the Forerunner 970, a high-end GPS connected watch for running and triathlon, featuring an ultra-bright AMOLED display, resistant Sapphire crystal and titanium bezel. The integrated LED light improves visibility when you set off before sunrise or return after dark. Evaluate your overall energy efficiency with running economy and find out how much you slow down when your foot hits the ground with ground impact speed loss (HRM 600 monitor required; sold separately). Running tolerance helps you understand the real impact of running on your body, so you can adjust your workouts to avoid overload and make progress. Use the integrated multi-band GPS and color maps, as well as navigation enhancements, to stay on track during your workouts. Forerunner 970 goes the distance as well as you do, with a potential battery life of 26 hours in GPS mode and 15 days in connected watch mode. And if you ever go too far, use the built-in speaker and microphone to make a call from your wrist (when the watch is paired with your smartphone).
