With downloadable training plans, complete health snapshots, full-color maps, accurate location tracking, real-time stamina alerts, and up to 31 hours of battery life in GPS mode, this piece of training equipment gets us to the starting line of our ultra race and through to the podium.

Here's what customers have to say
The watch offers a bright and vibrant AMOLED display, exceptional battery life, and comprehensive fitness and health tracking capabilities, including detailed metrics for various activities. Users appreciate the morning reports, training readiness assessments, and personalized workout suggestions. The GPS and heart rate monitoring are highly accurate. While some found the initial setup and navigation complex, most were able to quickly get the hang of the features. The glass screen can be prone to scratches, though screen protectors may help.

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.

This watch is great, it records distance, elevation, and HR very accurately. The OLED screen is very vibrant and easy to read. I have used this watch every day for the past year and a half and don't have any complaints. The battery life is long enough to last for multiple days recording with GPS all day without a charge. Great watch.

Love this watch!
I had a Forerunner 45 but decided to upgrade to the 965 since I have a 50k coming up and I wanted the extended battery life and navigation features. The watch has definitely delivered on both fronts and I like how easy it is to get courses on to the watch for my runs. There are plenty of other features but those are the standouts for me relative to my needs.

Best Overall Fitness watch/tracker
It counts laps in the pool for me during training. In fact , it’s able to track multiple functions at one time. So, if you’re looking for a watch that can do pretty much everything. This is your last stop….
