  • 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

  • Finally Made the Jump to Garmin - So Long Battery Anxiety!
Color: Whitestone and Powder Gray
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

  • Upgraded from Forerunner 165
Color: Black and Powder Gray
Phenomenal fitness watch. Forerunner 165 was my first Garmin after using Apple for many years. Found the 965 on sale after using the 165 for about a year and a half and went for it. So glad I did. Battery life is phenomenal, GPS tracking is great, watch is light yet feels solid. The titanium bezel really gives it a much more sturdy feel. Sits well on my arm. No issues sliding. Been about a month now and I’m loving it. ... show more

  • 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

  • A good fitness watch for runners
Color: Black and Powder Gray
I'm amazed at the battery life of this watch. It's an improvement over my last fitness tracker, but a bit difficult for this senior citizen to learn.

  • Rich data and long battery life than AW
Color: Black and Powder Gray
I almost returned this watch but kept it finally. Everything is OK except the battery life is not good enough in AOD mode. But I really like this amoled screen. If I chose mip, I will get longer battery life but lose the beautiful screen. I am an Apple Watch ultra user for many years and tired of frequently charging. This is one of the New Year’s resolution. About one week battery life is much better than Apple Watch. So I wear 965 everyday now. One more thing to praise. The everyday health and workout data in 965 is much more abundant and useful. ... show more
