Title: Worth the upgrade!
Review: Upgrading from a 735 and couldn’t be happier. The screen looks amazing and provides a whole lot more workout data. HRM seems to be more accurate and reliable than my older model. Used for running and cycling so far and it has performed well.

Title: Best sport watch on the market!
Review: The Garmin 965 has been a game changer on my running journey! After a week of analyzing my sleep routine as well as workouts and daily steps, the 965 has formulated a plan to get me ready for my Marathon! This watch has a large amount of functionality and suggested based learning tips! It feels great and is very comfortable! The battery has lasted longer then my previous Garmin, even after a weeks worth of using GPS to track my activities! I like the morning notifications from the overnight analyzing process and the days suggested training plan. I wear this watch everyday, all day and it has proven to be durable so far. I'm glad I upgraded from the Instinct Solar version I had!

Title: Good Watch
Review: This is my first smartwatch, so take with a grain of salt. I have no reference point for comparison, but I love my watch. I splurged to get back into running. It seems to have sensors for every reading possible for modern runners to track progress. GPS is very useful (still learning some advanced features.). I am a data/numbers person, so this keeps me engaged and I can track my progress, training for my first 1/2 marathon and marathon. Also, tech support has been very helpful, they answer quickly and it is nice to talk to a human being..The only downside is that Amazon music crashes the watch (to cause reboot) at a specific screen if I use the touch interface. It was annoying until I found a workaround. I hope this gets fixed, it seems to be an Amazon issue.Otherwise, I love the watch as it is helping me get back into shape, lost 15lb so far without dieting. After almost 5 months I am up to 30 miles per week.

Title: The perfect running watch (for now)…
Review: I came from Apple Watch Ultra and Garmin Fenix 7s Sapphire before that. Apple doesn’t have much in the way of useful training metrics, nor does it have on-watch mapping. You can use an app called Workoutdoors, but it’s still nowhere close to what Garmin has onboard. I’m wish the lens was sapphire on the 965, but I found a screen protector that fits great and practically disappears, so that’ll do. This watch is thinner and lighter than the Fenix series which makes a HUGE difference for me in daily use and in running. The screen is beautiful. Garmin really does have running watches locked down by a country mile. Even if you don’t use dual-band GPS, the accuracy is ridiculously better than just about anything out there, but I’ll admit my Apple Watch Ultra, which ALWAYS has dual band on was pretty good. The downside for AW is that you can’t turn dual band off to save battery when the terrain doesn’t require it. I use SatIQ on my Garmin and it’s perfect.

Title: Incredible!
Review: Hard to think something THIS PRICEY can be described as “worth it.” But it is. I had to look up and study some of the stats on this thing! It’s ridiculous! And yes, the battery life is much MUCH better than the Apple Watch. While it’s not solar powered, it lasts so long on one charge that unless you’re going somewhere without a power source for a month…. You’ll be fine.Overall,I recommend purchasing this watch.

Title: Excellent training watch, glitchy smart watch…
Review: Best Garmin I’ve owned - worst smart watch I’ve owned (mostly Apple’s fault). Apple won’t let it stay connected unless Garmin Connect App is running in the background. Also, that doesn’t work some times and I have to reboot watch about every other day to get my notifications.However, screen, accuracy (gps, heart rate), battery, maps (turn by turn courses) are AWESOME!For the price it should have LTE or at least a mic to talk to siri.

Review: Despues de mucha revisión, decidí Forerunner 965.La alternativa era el Epix Pro 2, sus diferencias:- sensor mas nuevo,- la luz de linterna independiente- capacidad de 200 mts dentro del agua- el doble de precioPor el resto, el Forerunner tiene el mismo sistema operativo, las mismas funciones, las mismas actividades.Los pros desde mi punto de vista:- Reloj apto para el día a día, no es tan aparatoso como el Epix o el Fenix (lo puedo llevar en la oficina)- Perfil mas bajo- Más liviano- Perfecto para ir a correr y de hiking- Batería en uso promedio de 15 dias (usando GPS, actividades registrando: correr todos los días 4 KM, caminar todos los días 5 km, hiking de fin de semana 8-10 km, escalda indoors- Precio más bajoLa verdad si no tienes actividades de uso rudo y lo quieres usar en tu día a día, recomiendo el forerunner 965. Muy contento con la compra. 🙂
