    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

    A lot of technology in a small footprint.

    This watch almost does too many things... I'm kind of old fashioned and would have hoped that it came with a printed manual. The information is available online, of course... So far it looks like the battery will last 2 weeks, but this is with minimal GPS use. I do triathlon and the watch provides all the information that I need and then some.

    I was hesitant at first to purchase the Forerunner 965 because I have not been a traditional runner and usually do weight lifting or indoor cardio (Bike, Rowing, etc). I pulled the trigger because the battery life is superb relative to my apple watch products and was looking for something focused on accurate steps. After purchasing the watch after watching many reviews I'm so satisfied. I'm motivated to workout more daily and love the easy and simple interface. I turn on DND . The only thing that is a negative for me is that Garmin Pay is not supported by my bank for touch to pay feature. Aside from this this watch is perfect for me, 30 male working in corporate america.

    My husband loves the features of heart rate, rest advice and the sleep tracker. He also gets to play his Spotify playlist straight from the watch and leave his cell behind while he does his runs.best of all is the battery life it only needs charging every 10 days.

    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.

    Excellent watch for wearing all day and track your workouts. The 965 has all the main features and I don’t need a flashlight on the watch like in the 970. I bought 2 of these one for me and one for my son who runs daily.

    Great Upgrade For Me

    Recently upgraded from the VivoActive 4 to this watch and I have to say I like everything about this watch better. First and foremost the battery life is amazing. I charge it maybe twice a month with tracking 2-3 hours if activities 6 days a week compared to every other night with my old VivoActive 4. The HRV and sleep tracking is far better with this model as well. I highly recommend if you are thinking about it. This is my second garmin ever and the way it is performing two months in I am doubtful Ill need to buy a new watch again for many years.

    Excellent product so far. Syncs with other Garmin devices seamlessly. Amoled screen is a game changer from previous watches I’ve owned. Battery life is really good to this point.

    The New 965 Forerunner is a great smartwatch. Brilliant display which is easily viewable in the brightest of sunlight! The battery life is incredible as well. A week plus using GPS and music with daily runs. As for Best Buy, will never buy anything there ever again. Just happened to go online and saw the watch I just purchased 16 days ago is on sale for $100.00 less. Best Buy says sorry. I say see you later. Have been a customer for many years, not any more.

    Great watch for running and everyday use

    I started running as a hobby a few months ago and I got this watch shortly thereafter. Previously, I would use my phone to record my runs on Strava, but it is much more convenient to record my runs using the watch: I just press the Start/Stop button a couple times and it starts recording. Plus, during the run I can see my stats by looking at my wrist instead of having to hold my phone. Things I love about the watch: - It shows notifications from my phone and I can send simple replies from the watch. - It tracks your sleep duration and quality, and you can see your last 7 days of sleep history. - It can show the sunrise and sunset times, which is nice because previously I would use the weather app on my phone to see that info. - It can also show the moonrise and moonset times, as well as the moon's current phase. I tested the battery life once with the display set to Always On, and I had to charge it after about 5 days. Since then I have set the display to not always be on, and it takes at least 10 days or so before I have to charge it again. It can store music and play it to another device via Bluetooth. I put like 2 GB of music onto it. I tried playing the music to my WH-1000XM4 and unfortunately the audio was choppy (kept cutting in and out). But I only tried that once, so I don't know if that was just a fluke. Overall, I really like the watch and I am glad I got it.
