    • Freaking AMAZING!!!!
Color: Amp Yellow and Black
Love, Love, LOVE my Garmin Forerunner 965!! I switched from an apple watch and the only thing I really miss at all was the ability to "Close my Rings" in Activity and Health. Garmin has much better training stats and I'm loving the gps/maps for my trail running. This baby lasted through a marathon and still had battery life to go! My apple watch could NEVER. The features are superior from any previous watch, and I very much think it was worth the hefty price! I'm still getting used to having to use the buttons on the side to clear notifications etc, but I'm slowly adapting to how this watch functions!! As for how comfortable, light, and nice it fits on me– I'm a pretty small gal! I'm 5'3" and 120lbs soaking wet haha, I was worried about this watch being too heavy and big on my wrist but it fits quite well! It doesn't bug me on my wrist while I'm active, or even while I'm sleeping! I do wish it came with instructions on how to change the band, but youtube and a quick google search will give me the information I need! I do really like that the watch had a black colored metal option for the bezel of the watch, as I only wear gold jewelry and would've been a bit bummed if my watch was silver. I know that's minor, but black looks so much sleeker with the clothes I wear and whatnot, and I feel that it doesn't look too distracting since it's darker. ... show more

The Garmin Forerunner 965 is honestly one of the best running watches I’ve ever used. The AMOLED screen looks amazing and is super bright outside, and the battery lasts way longer than I expected. The GPS is very accurate, and the training features help a lot for running, races, and everyday workouts. It’s lightweight and comfortable enough to wear all day and while sleeping. I also love how customizable it is with different watch faces and bands. The maps and navigation are really useful, especially for longer runs. Overall, this watch feels premium, fast, and packed with features. Definitely worth it for runners or anyone serious about fitness ... show more

    • Finally Made the Jump to Garmin - So Long Battery Anxiety!
Color: Whitestone and Powder Gray
Review Image by Cecilia Vu
Review Image by Cecilia Vu
I'd been struggling with my Pixel 3 watch on longer runs – it just couldn't hang in there past 17 miles, which was incredibly frustrating. I started looking for something with serious battery life but didn't want to feel like I was downgrading on cool features. The Forerunner 965 kept popping up, and I decided to give it a shot. Man, am I glad I did. I purchased the one with the white band, I think it looks very sleek and modern compared to the black one. Pros: Battery for Days (Well, Miles and Miles!): This is the biggest one for me. I can go on my long runs, and then some, without even thinking about the battery percentage. It's a huge relief not to have that anxiety anymore. I used to have to charge my pixel watch daily, I can go a full week without charging this watch! That Screen is Gorgeous: The AMOLED display is no joke. It's so bright and clear, even when I'm out in direct sunlight. Data is super easy to read at a glance, which is exactly what you need when you're trying to focus on your pace. Buttons I Actually Like Using: I didn't realize how much I'd appreciate good, tactile buttons until I had them. They're really responsive and make navigating menus or starting/stopping activities a breeze, especially with sweaty hands when a touchscreen can be finicky. Still Feels Smart: While it's definitely a running-focused watch, it still has a lot of the smart features I liked on my Pixel. I get my notifications, can control music, and it tracks all sorts of health metrics. Cons: Missing True Independence (No LTE): The only real drawback for me is the lack of LTE. I can't take calls or send texts if I don't have my phone with me. It's not a dealbreaker, as I'll wear my old Pixel watch with LTE on my other wrist to avoid me needing my bulky phone with me. Overall: Switching to the Forerunner 965 has been a game-changer for my running. The battery life alone makes it worth it, but the awesome screen and user-friendly buttons are fantastic bonuses. I finally get why so many runners swear by Garmin. If you're a runner who needs reliability and great performance without sacrificing too many smartwatch conveniences, I’d definitely recommend checking this one out. Edit: Added a screenshot of my first run with the watch. 10 miles and the battery only went down 3% throughout while listening to music. I made the right choice to switch! ... show more

    • I love this watch
Color: Whitestone and Powder Gray
I was an apple watch user for the longest time. I believe I have had three of them. I was so sick of how bad they tracked my fitness. I have gotten into training for a triathlon, and this has been a lifesaver. This by far beats the apple watch. The battery life is amazing, and it tracks everything I need. If you are someone who is getting into fitness I would go for a lower end one but if this is something you believe you would use a lot, get this one! ... show more

I LOVE this watch, it is well worth the splurge. I have had it for about 6 months and the battery life is still around 2-3 weeks before it needs to be placed on a charger. I was an apple watch person before this, and stopped wearing it ages ago because it barely made it through the day without needing to be charged. I am a brand loyalist, so switching from Apple was met with some hesitation but I am SO glad I went for it, because I will never go back. This watch is full of data to help you make the most of your training, including when to rest and how much rest you may need. It has been about 6 months and I am still discovering features of this watch that make me like it even more. I love that it assesses my readiness for a run, and how it allows me to put in when my next race is and then I can choose a training plan or just train my own way but at the bottom of my information when I scroll is the race I have put in, and my projected time. It also has a tendency to give more positive feedback compared to my Oura ring. I feel the way that my Garmin says I had a crumby nights sleep, or that my run was not as great as the previous ones is less critical than my Oura ring, or maybe I am just sensitive to its approach and prefer my Garmin. Do yourself a favor, and quit thinking about if it is worth it to purchase it, yes it is a hefty price tag but it is a thousand percent worth it! ... show more

    • Best fitness watch I've bought
Color: Black and Powder Gray
I love my Forerunner 965 because it fits into my life without trying to hype me up or guilt me. It’s just there, quietly tracking things and giving me information I actually use. I like waking up and checking how I slept, not because I expect perfection, but because it explains why some days feel harder than others. When my sleep or HRV is off, it usually lines up with how I feel. That makes the data feel real, not gimmicky. Running with it feels natural. The screen is easy to read without thinking, even when I’m tired or zoning out. I don’t have to fight the watch to get what I need. Pace, heart rate, distance — it’s all just there when I glance down. I like that it doesn’t force motivation. If I’m ready to train, it confirms it. If I’m not, it doesn’t shame me — it just says I might want to take it easy. Some days I listen, some days I don’t. Either way, it adapts. I also like the small things: the battery lasting long enough that charging isn’t part of my routine, the way trends build over time, and how progress shows up slowly instead of all at once. It makes improvement feel realistic. ... show more

    • Overall, Great. Two Small Problems for Me Personally
Color: Whitestone and Powder Gray
For context, I moved from using a Forerunner 735 for running and the Lily for daily activity tracking to just using the Forerunner 965 for both. My 735 was a few years old, and had some expected battery degradation, and no longer was sufficient as I got into ultra running. The battery life is fantastic. I run 10-14 hours per week, walk usually 3 or 4 hours, plus occasional bike rides, strength sessions, etc. and I only need to charge every 10-ish days or so. I haven't run an ultra in it yet, but have one coming up, so I'll update if anything noteworthy happens there. I don't have the overnight pulse-ox on, as that does use significant battery. The display is pretty intuitive, and with customizations on your glances, etc. it's easy to see the data you want to see. It is very large. Not an issue, but especially moving from my daily activity tracker being the much smaller Lily, and me having a fairly small wrist, it felt a little like I was wearing something out of Spy Kids at first. I've grown used to it now, and it's not an issue, but it was an adjustment. The two smallish issues that I have: 1. I have tattoos on my wrists just behind the bone, which apparently interfere with the heart rate tracker. I wasn't expecting this, b/c the tattoos aren't new, and I did not have this issue with the 735 or the Lily. That said, I just scoot it back like a quarter inch, and it's fine, but that does mean that I have to wear the watch tighter than I prefer. Not a huge problem, but kind of annoying especially since it wasn't an issue on previous models. 2. Despite the fact that I have to wear the watch tighter than I normally would, any time my skin gets wet...like when I sweat on a run or a walk, or use it to track a swim, it slides a little bit on my arm, and loses my heart rate again, so I have to remember to tighten it another notch before activities. This likely would not be a problem without the tattoo, so for most people it probably won't be an issue. I have also had an issue getting music onto the watch, but I imagine that's user error, not an issue with the watch itself. ... show more
