Garmin Forerunner Malaysia Price Guide: Every Model in RM

The Garmin Forerunner Malaysia price through Amaboxly starts from RM1,159 for the Forerunner 70 and tops out from RM3,239 for the Forerunner 970. Between them sit the Forerunner 170 (from RM1,369), the 170 Music (from RM1,579) and the 570 (from RM2,409). All five are preorders bought new from Garmin USA after you order.

This guide lists each model with its colour and size options, the specs shown on the product pages, and a short note on who it suits. Ordering, delivery and returns are covered near the end.

Garmin Forerunner Malaysia price list in RM

Each price below is a “from” price, meaning the lowest-priced variation of that model. Some colours or sizes can cost more, so check the product page for the exact option you want.

All five have an AMOLED display with an optional always-on mode, a silicone strap and a 5 ATM water rating. Each box contains the watch, a charging cable and documentation.

Forerunner 70: the lowest price and the most colours

The Garmin Forerunner 70 Smartwatch is from RM1,159. Garmin describes it as an easy-to-use GPS running smartwatch with essential training and recovery features.

It has a 1.2 inch (30.4 mm) AMOLED display, a chemically strengthened glass lens and a fiber-reinforced polymer bezel. At 40 g it is the lightest watch in this list. It comes in six colours: Black, Citron, Cool Lavender, Soft Pink, Tidal Blue and Whitestone.

One detail is easy to miss. Its listed battery life in smartwatch mode is longer than the figures for the 170 and the 570. The exact numbers are on each product page. If you are starting out, or you want a light watch for recording runs and keeping an eye on recovery, look at this one first.

Forerunner 170 and 170 Music: the same watch, with or without music

The Garmin Forerunner 170 Smartwatch is from RM1,369, and the Garmin Forerunner 170 Music Smartwatch is from RM1,579. The listed hardware is identical for both: a 1.2 inch (30.4 mm) AMOLED display, chemically strengthened glass, a fiber-reinforced polymer bezel and a weight of 41 g.

The Music version adds optional music, and it has more colours. The standard 170 comes in Black with a Black/Amp Yellow band or Whitestone with a Whitestone/Cloud Blue band. The Music version offers those two plus Red Pink with a Red Pink/Mango band and Teal Green with a Teal Green/Citron band.

The display, lens, bezel and weight are close to the Forerunner 70, so the reason to step up is the training feature set. The product page summary does not itemise every feature, so compare the two on Garmin’s spec sheet before deciding. The same sheet explains how the music option works.

Forerunner 570: two case sizes and an aluminum bezel

The Garmin Forerunner 570 Smartwatch is from RM2,409. It is an advanced GPS running and triathlon smartwatch, and the only model here with a choice of case size: 42 mm or 47 mm.

The materials change at this level. The lens is Corning Gorilla Glass 3 and the bezel is aluminum. Colours depend on the size you pick:

• 42 mm: Cloud Blue Aluminum with Translucent Whitestone/Cloud Blue band, Raspberry Aluminum with Translucent Bone/Mango band, or Slate Gray Aluminum with Translucent Black/Black band.
• 47 mm: Amp Yellow Aluminum with Translucent Whitestone/Turquoise band, Indigo Aluminum with Translucent Imperial Purple/Indigo band, or Slate Gray Aluminum with Translucent Black/Black band.

The listing does not give a weight or display diameter for each size, so check Garmin’s spec sheet if wrist fit matters to you. This model suits runners who also train for triathlon and want a metal bezel without moving up to titanium.

Forerunner 970: titanium, sapphire and a flashlight

The Garmin Forerunner 970 Smartwatch is from RM3,239. It is the premium GPS running and triathlon model, with an LED flashlight and advanced training and recovery features.

The lens is sapphire crystal and the bezel is titanium. The display is 1.4 inch (35.3 mm) across, larger than the 1.2 inch screens on the 70 and 170. It weighs 56 g, and it has the longest listed battery life in smartwatch mode of the five.

There are three colours: Carbon Gray DLC Titanium with a black case and Black/Translucent Whitestone band, Soft Gold Titanium with a French Gray case and French Gray/Translucent Indigo band, and Titanium with a Whitestone case and Whitestone/Translucent Amp Yellow band.

How to narrow it down

Start with what you train for. The 570 and 970 are the two described as triathlon watches. The 70 and 170 are running watches.

Then think about the wrist. The 70 and 170 are 40 g and 41 g with a 1.2 inch display. The 970 is 56 g with a 1.4 inch display. If you want to choose your case size, the 570 is the only one that lets you.

Music is the last question. Within the 170 family, the Music version is the only one that lists it.

Price and how ordering works

All five watches are on the Garmin brand page with their RM prices. They are preorders: Amaboxly buys your watch new from the US brand store after you order, and estimated delivery is 30 calendar days.

You can pay in full. Where the product page offers it, you can instead pay a 50% deposit now and the balance later, and checkout shows when the balance is due for your country.

Delivery is free within Peninsular Malaysia. Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan pay RM21 per item, or nothing on orders over RM 2,200, which a Forerunner 570 or 970 already exceeds. Every other country sees its fee at checkout, and the shipping fees page has the details.

Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery. A change-of-mind return must be in new condition, carries a 10% restocking fee, and the cost of shipping it back to the seller is deducted from your refund. If the watch is damaged when it arrives, report it with photos straight away. Exchanges are only for items that arrive damaged, so choose your colour and size with care. Full terms are on the refund and returns page.

If you are comparing against the US list price, compare like for like: currency conversion, delivery to you, and how warranty and returns are handled all belong in the sum.
