GARMIN Runners Smartwatch Forerunner 965 | 23 Days of Battery Life in Smart Watch Mode with Amoled Colorful Display and Touchscreen | Built-in Maps and Advanced Training Metrics

After using a Fenix 5s for a couple of months and being quite impressed, I decided to upgrade to this more up to date model. I planned to use it for running along side my Wahoo cycling computer and in conjunction with my strap heart rate monitor. I decided on the 965 mainly because of its screen size and clarity and it seemed to have all of the features I needed. I didn’t go for another Fenix partly due to the cost but also the additional features on that watch were not of interest. After using the watch for several months I can say the differences between the 965 and the Fenix 5s are considerable and I can also say that this is an excellent watch and I have been super impressed by it. The screen quality is far better than the Fenix. The Forerunner is so much clearer and crisper which to be fair should be the case as they are both different types. The gps is also much better on the Forerunner. The Fenix could never seem to get my heart rate correct when exercising heavily which was frustrating. Because of this, when I got the Forerunner I carried on using my strap heart rate monitor. One day however I decided to leave the strap behind and the Forerunner did an excellent job on getting my heart rate correct. So much so I haven’t used the strap since. Another thing I stopped using was the Wahoo simply because the 965 is so good and does everything I need when cycling. On top of that the touchscreen is fantastic. The sleep monitoring is great and the battery life is also excellent. I barely charge it more than once or twice a month. My only slight gripe with it is not actually about the watch but the strap. In the end I had to change it for the fabric type because I was getting sores on my wrist particularly after sweating during exercise. Since changing the strap this has completely gone away. To sum up, this has been one of my favourite purchases in recent times. It does everything I need in a small lightweight package and it does it all exceptionally well. The 965 has replaced my heart rate monitor for cycling and running, it has replaced my Wahoo for cycling and my phone for running. I now just go out with the watch.

I wanted an upgrade from Forerunner 945 and this was just the watch to upgrade to. The AMOLeD touch screen is perfect and there is loads you can do with this watch. If you are into running and cycling then this is the watch for you.

Tremendous watch for the runner cyclist or outdoor enthusiast. Quickly connected to my phone and related activity apps. Thought I was in better shape than the watch had determine so we are on a journey of physical fitness together. Worth the money.

Apple Watch Ultra 2 user, saw loads of people with Garmins at races I did. Felt self conscious and bought a 965 to fit in (sad I know..). Only expected to put it on for runs but now my Ultra sits in a drawer and I only wear this. Great having everything in one place rather than having to use a combination of Runalyze, Apple health and WorkOutdoors. Only thing I miss about Apple (workoutdoors) is the awesome maps. Garmin maps are terrible in comparison - janky and horrible to navigate.

I love my garmin I was an Apple Watch user for many years, so it took a bit to use to, but no regrets Battery life is incredible - I get at least 20 days per charge Plus it doesn’t long to recharge back to 100 %

great watch for athletes on issue i have it has no whatsapp application

My Apple Watch went into the drawer and never out again. This is a beast for running especially if you do trails and use the navigation

The garmin watch forerunner 965 is really a very good watch for running and beautifully designed for runners. I purchased this watch because I started doing athletics track running and because my garmin instinct 2 died, and it is really much better, all the functionalities are much easier to use than the instinct 2 S thanks to the tactile screen. Plus the bright screen is perfect for reading the watch clearly compared to the instinct 2s which had a dark screen plus I love the yellow color. Moreover I can check different things like messages, VO2 max, training status, cardiac frequency all on the watch. I am mainly using this watch to record parkruns and track runs. The track runs recording is really useful as I can switch laps when I go into resting and then switch again when I get back to running, thus creating a really good record of the track session. The battery is also very solid and I usually charge about every week to make sure I have the full charge available when I run during the week, even though I think charging every 2 week would still be OK. Overall I think it is a really good investment for runners and makes the running practice more enjoyable.

Non mi piacciono gli smartwatch tradizionali, con notifiche, messaggi e quant'altro. Qui è possibile disabilitare tutto quello che non vi serve o che vi distrae. A me interessa la parte sportiva e questo orologio fa quello che deve fare e lo fa molto bene. Punto di forza per me: È possibile disattivare il touch e utilizzarlo solo con i tasti laterali, tra l'altro personalizzabili con scorciatoie. La batteria molto buona, con utilizzo normale dura circa 3 settimane.

The product was delivered in a good state and the merchant of the product was very helpful and followed up with me to deliver the watch before it’s due date which gave me the impression of a very good after sales service.

One of the best fitness watch , ❤️

Apto para todo tipo de ejercicios, funciona a la perfección.
