I love this watch. Had an Apple Watch previously and can’t get over how much better Garmin is. The battery is great, lasts weeks at a time!

I bought this watch to replace my Samsung galaxy s5 pro and so far it has been great except for the screen dimming itself. The battery life is great compared to my previous watchs that include Samsung galaxy watch 3 classic, galaxy watch 5 pro, and amazfit trex2 watch.

All the way from South Africa, it was an awesome experience buying from Best Buy, great staff with top customer service. I will be back in New York on my next holiday to grab some souvenirs.

Perhaps more information than you actually need. This is what happens when fitness and data fall into a romantic relationship and make a baby.

I’ve tested many GPS watches over the years, but the Garmin Forerunner 965 has truly raised the bar.
Accuracy & Tracking: Whether on trails, track, or treadmill, the GPS is spot-on. Heart-rate, elevation, and pace — all data align with what I expect from a top-tier multisport watch.
Features & Metrics: The race predictor, VO₂ max, training status, HRV status, load, and recovery features are next level. It's like having a personal coach on your wrist.
Display & Interface: The AMOLED display is vivid and crisp — easy to read in full sun or dim light. The touchscreen + button interface is intuitive and fast.
Battery Life: I get several days of mixed usage (workouts + daily wear) without needing to charge. For long events, it’s reliable too.
Comfort & Durability: Lightweight and snug without digging into the wrist. The fiber-reinforced polymer build feels sturdy, and the titanium bezel adds a premium touch.
Multisport & Smart Features: Great for running, cycling, swimming, and more — plus smart notifications, music storage, Garmin Pay, maps. It’s a complete daily plus training companion.
Bottom line: If you're serious about your performance and want a watch that can keep up (and then some), the Forerunner 965 is a game-changer. Highly recommended.

I’ve been using my Garmin watch for several months now, and it’s hands-down the best fitness tracker I’ve owned. The GPS accuracy is spot-on, and the heart rate monitoring is impressively consistent. The battery life easily lasts a week with regular use, and the watch charges quickly.
Garmin has nailed the balance between performance, durability, and smart features. Highly recommend for anyone serious about fitness tracking or who simply wants a reliable everyday smartwatch.
