FAQs
What is the difference between the Forerunner 570 42mm and the 47mm models?
The 42mm version is more compact and lightweight at 40g with a 1.2-inch AMOLED display, ideal for smaller wrists, while the 47mm offers a larger 1.3-inch screen and slightly extended battery life (up to 12 days vs. 10 days in smartwatch mode); both share the same Elevate Gen5 sensor, features, and software.
Does the Forerunner 570 support ECG functionality?
No, unlike the Venu 3, the Forerunner 570 lacks ECG app connectivity, likely due to hardware limitations like no metal contacts on the back for completing the circuit—it’s designed more for sports tracking than medical-grade heart diagnostics.
What is the real-world battery life for the Forerunner 570 42mm?
Expect 7-9 days in smartwatch mode with moderate use (AOD off, occasional GPS), or 12-15 hours in GPS mode; heavy music playback and notifications can reduce it to 5-6 days, but the 10-day rating holds for lighter activity.
Can I take phone calls directly from the Forerunner 570?
Yes, the built-in speaker and microphone allow hands-free calls when paired with your phone, plus voice commands for navigation or workouts; call quality is clear in quiet settings but may pick up wind noise during outdoor runs.
