Fine sports watch with lots of features, long battery life, clear colours and screen.

- N. 8 September 2025

After always having had a Polar, I took the plunge anyway, and switched to Garmin. So far, no regrets at all. Very nice, lightweight and clear watch. I also like the step count, so I finally know what I do in a day (in terms of steps). I do find it annoying that you have to change your display both in Garmin Connect and on your watch. For example what values you want to see when you run, walk, bike, etc. What units you want to use, metric or imperial.

Pros & Cons

Clear display
Good battery life
Many options
Very light weight

Garmin Forerunner 965 - a powerful, practical sports watch.

- Evgeny 17 February 2025

I bought the Garmin Forerunner 965 and I'm totally happy with it! Great AMOLED screen, intuitive interface and accurate activity measurements. The battery lasts a long time, even with intensive use of the GPS. An ideal watch for running and other sports. I'd definitely recommend it!

Fine multi sport watch

- Ramon 18 October 2024

The 965 helps you properly monitor your health, including sleep, rest and even naps. It offers handy support for training and workouts. Recovery time was already available with previous Forerunner models, but now the device also tells you if you are ready for your next workout.

Pros & Cons

Bright picture
Convenient operation
Little charging required

Ideal watch for the runner/athlete

- Roderick 17 September 2024

As a runner, I find this an ideal watch. Versatile options like seeing your training readiness, HRV status and also you can see your running dynamics while running and analyse them after the time. You can also add events to your race calendar and work towards them. For beginners, you can also follow a training schedule via garmin coach. You can also easily switch from one sport to another in a triathlon. Screen: colours and design are nice, I immediately applied screen protector after purchase so can't judge if the screen scratches easily. Navigation is also very easy. If you put the garmin explore app on your phone you can also navigate well with your watch on a bike or during a city trip/hike/hike. Smart features: limited compared to apple and samsung but you get good battery life and top sports features in return.

Pros & Cons

Battery life
Beautiful screen
Ideal for the runner
Predictions of times
Workout readiness, navigation
Fewer smartfunctions compared to apple/samsung
