Forerunner 570 vs 265S coming from Apple Watch, is the 570 worth the extra $400–500 AUD?
I'm looking to switch to a Garmin from my Apple Watch SE (2nd gen). I've used Apple Watches for the last 4–5 years, almost entirely for sport and workouts: rowing, running and weights. I'm obsessed with metrics and GPS tracking.
I'm stuck between the 570 and the slightly older 265S. A common argument for the 570 is that it'll get updates for longer, but realistically how much longer, and is that worth an extra $400–500 AUD?
I know the 570 has extras like better heart rate accuracy and skin temperature, but I'm not sure I'd use them, especially since I haven't needed them before.
Is there anything else that makes the 570 worth it over the 265S? I always want the newest model (and it's within my budget), but if it's not meaningfully better than the much cheaper option, I don't see the point.
(I’m not looking at the 970 as it want the smaller model)
