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.

The perfect watch for beginners and experienced runners
A really lovely watch, with a surprising number of features that support both your training and recovery. It has a nice, large screen, so I don’t think it looks out of place on a woman’s wrist either, although it does have a more sporty look. Battery life and, by extension, the watch’s lifespan were very important to me, and it lives up to my expectations!

A good watch with a clear display, but a bit tricky to set up at first
A bit tricky to set up, but otherwise brilliant
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Very satisfied
Occasionally get used to when controls can only be used via buttons and when the touchscreen can. Touchscreen also seems to jitter at times. Other than that, lots of functionalities. In my opinion a good price/quality ratio.

For me, the Garmin Forerunner 965 is the perfect upgrade from my Vivoactive 4S.
After years of running with my Garmin Vivoactive 4S, I was already quite a fan of Garmin. Yet the Forerunner 965 really surprised me. The first thing you notice is the AMOLED screen: super bright, sharp and perfectly readable even in bright sunlight. While running, the watch responds quickly and the GPS is even more accurate than I was used to. The watch is light and comfortable, so I wear it all day long without it interfering. The workout suggestions and recovery advisories are more comprehensive than on my old Vivo 4S, which really motivates me to train smarter. The battery life is also a big step forward; I need to recharge much less often. There are also some downsides. The price is hefty, and the sheer amount of features means you really have to find your way around at first. Sometimes it feels like you have more options than you will ever use. But fair is fair: if you are already a fan of Garmin, like me, then this watch feels like a logical and very nice upgrade.
