This is my fourth Garmin Forerunner. I miss my 945! The 965 has a very inaccurate HR monitor. I've tried every position on my wrist and all the tricks on chats, still does not work. Garmin sent me a refurbished replacement, same issue. Manually checking HR while wearing confirms it's way off. I miss the 945, far more accurate.

This watch has everything you need as a runner. Coupled with a heart rate monitor, you get more metrics than you will ever understand. I use it mostly for running. I also use it for swimming and biking. It is very accurate with the gps. I would say this is more of an expert level watch but beginners can use it as well. It monitors sleep, body battery, training levels and loads, as well as a plethora of info that I haven’t tapped into.

This thing lives on me now. I love how light it is. It doesn’t heat up. The battery last forever. Data is very useful. As a permanent appendage on my wrist, I do have a few gripes. 1. it isn’t nearly as intuitive as my apple watch. 2. It often stays in previous areas for a day or two after leaving (weather/timezones). 3. It doesn’t have the feature that wakes you up based on sleeping patterns.
Amazing!!! Easy to use and navigate

I had brought this in 8/27/25. On 9/9/25, I saw the Screen had cracked. I don’t know how but I didn’t buy any warranty because I thought the glorilla glass going to be durable. I only this a few running sessions and a couple of gym sessions. I had the Apple Series 7 for several years and it held up right good. I would of though garmin would be more durable since I got the 965

After 3:00 6:45 M's all broke. Where the watch band meets the actual watch I decided to leave Garmin. I went to Cora's and it was horrible so I came back and treated myself to the 965 and it's a world of difference. Everything you'd expect from stats contactless payment, music, beautiful display, and a fairly decent battery. I'm very happy with it. Oddly, I have two other friends who have the exact same watch
Best watch i have tried!

Garmin's tech is unmatched. I was an Apple Watch user for YEARS. It took a while for me to feel comfortable getting out of the Apple ecosystem, but I'm so glad I did. The battery life of this watch is crazy. easily gets 20+ days on it even while consistently wearing and tracking workouts. Very customizable - can switch out watch faces and alter data screens for workout types. Can sync Spotify playlists and connect bluetooth headphones. Which is awesome for running, because you can set audio cues for lap times. Just can't say enough about how awesome this watch is. Even better if you have the Garmin HRM - instant pair and seamless data transfer. Bravo Garmin!
Great watch

This is a great watch that connects to my garmin for cycling as well as my smart ring. I love that it looks sleek but works better than my old apple watch.
Awesome! Worth it!
