Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Runner and love love love this watch! Was a Fenix user and still love the Fenix, but love this one more.

One of the best watches I have ever purchased, has really allowed me to tune in to my fitness

Love the watch. Great training apps. Just wish it was easier to swap straps.

Excellent watch, all premium features at resonable price. Very well customizable.

Very well designed watch. Excellent fitness watch with lots of details about fitness. Great battery life. It lasted 1 month without charge.

Out of all the garmins I have purchased this has been so far my favorite one!

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.

Coming from an Apple Watch and a Garmin Fenix 6. I really like the forerunner 965 watch highly recommended.

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 replaced my Apple Watch for the forerunner and it was the best decision i have made in a while.

Love the watch but ive had it for less then a week and it has scuffs and scratchs on the screen from normal wear. I do not know how the watch will fair over time.

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.

Best smartwatch I’ve ever owned. Larger face, easy to read, . I use it for running trails . Watch the maps work properly. Good battery life lasts almost three weeks. Then charge it again. the downside the watch don’t have a speaker or flashlight ! stats galore. The heart rate and sleep monitoring is worth the price alone

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.

Incredible interface on the garmin. Materials legit. Battery life incredible. The amount of things that this watch can do are just impressive. Huge upgrade from an apple watch.

Watch is a nice step up from the 955. Does everything that I need it to do. Great information and battery life. Screen is nice and bright.

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.
