Best watch compared to apple!
I've been an apple watch user since the series 3,my last apple watch was the series 8. I made the change because I was tired of having a watch that the battery would die with in 8 hours of use and wouldnt track a work out correctly. I absolutely love the the Garmin forerunner 965 for many reasons. * The battery last 9 days or more depending on usage. *The Garmin interface is user friendly and staright up. * It works perfectly and syncs perfectly with many work out and health apps. * It monitors many things such as your sleep and it gives a you score, stress level, your breathes per minutes, it tracks your training readines ( it tells when to rest recovery time and recommendations for the following workout). It monitors your stress level and tbh it's accurate because it uses a lot of data to come up with you stress level. *It lets you download maps and the maps don't require and LTE connection, so perfect for hiking and other out door activities. * over it's a solid watch ⌚ user friendly and it's compatible with Apple and android. * the pairing process is really easy.

Garmin Upgrade: A Comprehensive Review of Enhanced
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.

Factually the Best smart watch
Garmin makes the best all round amet watches. Why? 21 days battery life, quick charge, Garmin pay, music, workout , various health and activity tracking, good collection of faces, water and dust proof, GPS, rugged, good resale etc. I think this is the only thing keeping Garmin name alive with consumers and forerunner 965 is the best Garmin I have owned. Great Job and keep it up. The only negative is a proprietary port for charging which is easily remedied with a cheap USB c to Garmin converter which fits on my key chain so totally five stars. Just imagine not packing a charging cable on long long vacations and not worrying about payments or getting water damaged. Great product.
