Impressive with the new technology
I had a 935 for years, until recently purchased the 965. it's huge difference for me, brighter and bigger screen give me much better visibility especially during training. Much more health features to track my sleep, health and training. I just wish I had upgraded it earlier.

Good tech, low quality bezel and face
Had the watch for almost a year now. Came from a Suunto 9. This by far has better tech than the Suno and battery life is far superior. Real the only complaint is how cheap the bezel and watch face quality are. After a year of use it’s scratched up pretty good from everyday use, running, etc. compared to the Suunto that I had for several years I’d say this is the only area where it lacks.

965 Disappointing
At first, the 965 worked very well. About a year later, the sleep mode did not work, or only recorded 1-2 hours in the morning. My distance feature started to be inaccurate; ie., recording a mile when only going 8/10 of a mile. I went to the Garmin service center to request their assistance. The person that helped me “rebooted” the watch. He also said that if I continue to have a problem with my 965, I would need to have it replaced.

Use this for all of my activities, including: - hiking -ski touring -strength training - running - cycling I don't pay much attention to most of the health tracking, but that information is there if you put much stock in it. The watch has held up extremely well. In the past Garmin watches have broken bands for me, but this one is still going strong.

Great watch
I have enjoyed using this watch. I don't use all of the features because it has so many, but the features I need work great! My only complaint is that sometimes the wrist based heart rate does not seem super accurate when I am doing activities like Backcountry skiing. Otherwise I haven't had any problems. I would recommend getting a screen protector.

I would recommend updating the watch through the Garmin Express program on your computer. If you don't already have it installed, it can be downloaded at garmin.com/express. If that doesn't resolve the problem you're experiencing, please get in touch with our support team at the following link: http://ms.spr.ly/6426tujnO?

Phenomenal
This watch has been a game changer. I have tried many watches and lastly was using an Apple Watch Ultra, but this watch has much better GPS, way better battery life, and overall reduces my screen time anxiety. This is extremely rugged, and able to withstand a lot. Highly recommend. I recommend this for any level of outdoor enthusiasts. You will be really happy with this watch.

Beautiful display. Inaccurate elevation
I had 3 forerunner 955s over a year and each one’s elevation gain was inaccurate. Glad they have a warranty. This one proved no different. Inaccurate elevation. This watch reads anywhere from 35 to 65 percent higher than other gps units. GPS is good and other features are nice. So if you don’t care about accuracy in the elevation department, this is a great watch. Otherwise I would steer clear.

Great expiring
This watch is a bit pricey, but it's definitely very complete. I'm a triathlete, and I think this watch has everything a triathlete needs.

Still a great watch
Even with the 970 out now, the 965 is still an incredible and fully functional watch for most athletes.

I have been a dedicated Garmin user for years, and the Forerunner 965 has exceeded every one of my expectations. The upgrade to the brilliant, full-color AMOLED touchscreen is a game-changer. My training data, maps, and notifications are clearer and more vibrant than ever, allowing me to read them easily even in bright sunlight. For those concerned about using a touchscreen while running, the mix of responsive buttons and the touchscreen provides a great solution. It's like having a personal coach on my wrist, helping me know when to exert myself and when to focus on recovery. The Forerunner 965 is very light and comfortable, with 23 days of battery life in smartwatch mode. Highly recommended.
