Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have zero complaints about this watch. All the running features are excellent as expected for Garmin. But there were a few things I wondered about before buying. SLEEP - One of my biggest concerns was sleeping in the watch. It's pretty comfortable to sleep in. The strap is flexible/breaths enough and the watch itself is JUST light enough to be comfortable sleeping. QUALITY - The new AMOLED display is also really nice. Is it worth more than the MIP display on the 955?... Maybe not. But I'm not upset that I went AMOLED. Maybe more importantly, I really like the metal around the bezel. It feels a little more premium than other plastic smart watches. And for something not super cheap... It's nice to feel nice. BATTERY - Another thing I wondered was battery because some online reviews varied on that point. I've been running about 25 miles/week with GPS on, streaming music from the watch, but not keeping "always on" mode set during the day. With all that, I'm charging once per week. I could probably get 9 days though before battery would actually die. Overall it seems fine. It does charge fast. Every Friday I throw it on a charger at my home office during a 1 hour meeting, and it's at 100% when that meeting ends. If you're on the fence, I'd say get it!

Love this watch for accountability and training. Battery lasts 25 days!

Exactly what I wanted. Very bright screen and great running accuracy.

The best watch that I bought for my husband for his training

The Forerunner 965 is the ultimate "no-compromise" watch. It offers the high-end aesthetics of a smartwatch with the deep, analytical soul of a dedicated racing computer. If you are serious about your data and want a watch that looks just as good in the office as it does on the starting line, this is the one to get.

Excellent multisport watch loaded with features. The new screen in this model is gorgeous and easy to read. Battery life is very good (one week of usage was 26%).

Love the Battery life and alot of cool information

I am training for a marathon, and I had always used an Apple Watch since I’d taken up running about 2 years ago. I never had the Ultra or anything like that. Only the SE models which seemed to work for what I needed it for at the time i.e. distance, hr monitoring, etc. This watch is a different animal entirely. It has features that you didn’t even know you needed. I particularly like the insights that it gives you around sleep and recovery. It tracks your quality of sleep to the intensity of your workouts and tailors a recovery plan for you by showing your “body’s battery”. It is a must if you’re loking to seriously train for high-intensity sports while posessing the most insightful data available in wearable tech. Highly recommend!

I've been using this watch regularly for quite a while now and it's great. It does what it's supposed to do. I think it's great that they upgraded the display in the newer model to the sapphire crystal as I have acquired quite a few scratches in this one. I was disappointed at first, but now I don't really care. Battle scars. ;-) p.s. Swapping out the band for a nylon band was a game changer. Much more comfortable than the silicone band.

Battery lasts 2+ weeks. Easy to use and comfortable wear. Favorite watch I’ve ever had.

Truly amazed. This is my 3rd Garmin watch. By far this is the best. Great display. Data and training tracking are very detailed. Battery life is fantastic as well, depends on settings you have but I get a little over 2weeks between charging

The screen is top notch definitely bright enough! For running it has everything you need for statistics. The workout functions and training plans are great! Goal setting is awesome and the battery life is excellent! Definitely buy

Bought this watch as a replacement for my wife’s Instinct. She recently hired on as the Cross Country Coach for the local High School, and has been an avid runner/athlete her entire life. This watch has so many features she is still trying to learn, but each one is a pleasant surprise and upgrade. The screen is easy to read even when her arm is swinging back and forth. Easy to operate and change functions on the run.

Amazing battery life. Perfect all-in-one watch with maximum fitness and golf features. Don't even feel it on your wrist it is so light. I would recommend this to any golfer who also wants optimal fitness tracking in one lightweight durable watch.

The best Garmin for running. The price is worth it. A bit hard to use but watched a video on YouTube.

Muito satisfeito. Me atende perfeitamente. Gps, bateria e funcionalidades.

Battery literally lasts two weeks and I work out every day 2-3 times per day. Light enough that I can sleep with it on no problem. I’m all about quantifying the self and this watch has fixed my sleep that I didnt even know was bad. Highly highly recommend

Battery life and being able to log in just about everything, love the downloaded trail maps when i hike or saving new routes for marathon training it's it's option to makeup a route withing the area you're in according to the mileage you put.

Very nice watch, so accurate and versatile. Big screen so every piece of information is display. 10/10

This watch is the best on the market in terms of software, offering thoughtful and refined details that help you effectively track both your health and exercise routines. It is solidly built, delivers unbeatable battery performance, is comfortable to wear, and features a bright, high-quality display.
