Enter the distance you want to run or bike and the sports watch will give you three unique routes that will take you back to your starting point. With the NextFork feature, you'll see exactly how far it is to the next fork, which further reduces the chance of cycling the wrong way.

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

Very complete and luxurious sports watch
I've been using it for a few weeks now and I haven't found any faults yet. The watch does everything it is supposed to do.

Garmin Forerunner 965 - a powerful, practical sports watch.
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
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.

Ideal watch for the runner/athlete
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.
