Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Garmin Forerunner have GPS, and will it work without my phone?
Yes. The Forerunner 970 included in this bundle has built-in multi-band GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo) with full-color built-in maps and turn-by-turn navigation. It tracks your route, pace, and location on its own, so you don't need your phone nearby for GPS to work.
Does the Forerunner use GLONASS and Galileo, or just GPS?
It's a multi-band GNSS watch, meaning it uses GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo satellite systems together rather than relying on GPS alone. That's paired with full-color built-in maps for route guidance.
What size is the Forerunner's screen?
The Forerunner 970 has a 1.3-inch color transflective MIP display. We don't have case diameter or wrist-fit dimensions on hand, so check the product page for sizing details before you buy.
Does the Forerunner have music storage?
Yes, the Forerunner 970 has onboard music storage and is compatible with popular streaming services, so you can load music for offline listening on runs without carrying your phone.
What's included in this bundle?
This bundle includes one Garmin Forerunner 970 GPS Running Smartwatch and one Garmin inReach Mini 3 Plus satellite communicator, sold together as a single package.
How fast will my order arrive, and what's your returns policy?
Orders over our free-shipping threshold ship free with next-day delivery, and the product page shows the actual delivery date for your order. If something isn't right, this bundle is covered by our standard DiveCatalog returns policy.
