I've used over 10 different watches in my life and all in all the 965 is probably the best smart watch I have purchased albeit ata very premium price. That being said, comparing a Garmin watch to an Apple or Google watch is like comparing apples to oranges (no pun intended). You are going to have to sacrifice seamless integration and answering calls and texts, but the payoff is HUGE. -Better battery life (22-30 days for me) -Significantly more fitness based -3rd party watch faces -premium build -durable: The gorilla glass is incredibly strong so far -Metrics: training readiness, sleep coach, status, estimated race times, training plans, auto strength workout, etc -Checks HR every second of every day (as opposed to once per hour)

I have always been a loyal user of Garmin smartwatches, and my previous timepiece was the Fenix 6 Pro Solar. The reason behind my decision to upgrade stemmed from my desire for a watch with similar features, but with a notable improvement in screen quality. Opting for a different Garmin model over the Fenix, I found that it not only maintained the functionalities I relied on but also offered substantial updates, particularly in terms of a superior, lighter, and more compact screen. While the screen is slightly smaller than that of my previous Fenix, the 47 mm display is undoubtedly sufficient. This Garmin watch caters to my diverse activities, allowing me to seamlessly track my runs, enjoy pool sessions, partake in golf games, and navigate hikes with the convenience of an included map. Remarkably, the battery life impressively extends to nearly two weeks, covering my varied activities without requiring frequent recharges. This decision not only met my specific needs but also managed to save me a few hundred dollars compared to a potential Fenix upgrade. Consequently, I wholeheartedly recommend this Garmin watch for individuals seeking reliable functionalities in activities such as running, swimming, hiking, and even golf.
