Fine multi-sport watch with 1 (major) drawback

- Thomas 4 March 2026

The Forerunner 965 meets almost all expectations, nice Amoled screen, long battery life, extensive functions for the data freaks among athletes who want to fine-tune and chart their performance and technique. Unfortunately, I must also get off my chest that - as far as I am concerned - there is a huge gap in recording (pulse) heart rate in low temperatures (

Pros & Cons

Handsome Amoled display
Long battery life
Many features

Top device for the endurance athlete

- Vincent 5 January 2026

I switched from an Apple Watch 8 to this one, mainly because I needed a better battery. In fact, I often run 15+km and my Apple barely manages that when GPS is active for that long. This Garmin is really a breath of fresh air. The look is a bit sportier, which I'm not necessarily looking for for everyday life. For running, however, this is a big step forward.

Pros & Cons

Battery life
Connection with apps like Trenara and Strava
Touchscreen
Feels a bit clunkier than my Apple Watch
Few standard options display

5 / 5

Hugely satisfied with it, the watch motivates me for more exercise.

- Shuren 30 December 2025

I am extremely happy with this watch! It is very easy to use and gives good analysis of your sports activities but also of your sleep and rest. The connection between the Garmin and Strava works great, which completes the overview. The battery is actually the biggest plus: with daily use with GPS it lasts more than a week, and without GPS even double that. I find that really quite impressive. In short: a reliable sports watch with excellent usability, deep analytics and an impressive battery life.

Pros & Cons

Changing straps
Connection between the watch and Strava
Good analysis
