Likely a moderate drop

- No replacement announced, so Garmin has no stock to clear
Should you wait for Black Friday?
If you can, wait. A second-year Garmin usually gets a deeper cut than a brand-new one. But don't expect it to reach the 265's price: that watch is two years older.

Questions people ask
What's the difference between the Forerunner 570 and 265?
The 570 has a brighter screen, a speaker and microphone for calls, and Garmin's newer heart-rate sensor. Training features are close.
Does the Forerunner 570 have maps?
No. It shows breadcrumb routes but not full maps. For maps you need the 970 or the older 965.
Which size of Forerunner 570 is on sale?
Both the 42 mm and 47 mm cases were reduced together last year, so watch for the size that fits your wrist.
