[Garmin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forerunner-570) has been in the space of [digital fitness watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garmin-venu-4) for some time now and it has just launched two new models including the Forerunner 970. The Forerunner 970 kicks off the launch with a [titanium body construction](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garmin-tactix-8-cerakote-edition). It comes in the tonal options of gray, white and silver, or a soft gold color.

However, the colors are turned up a notch at the bands with a sportier touch of white and yellow on the white model. The soft old is detailed with gray and indigo on the band, and it all elevates the aesthetic with a dash of color. Details of the watch include its standard tracking along with the new Triathlon Coach feature.
