Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Battery life is amazing and clearly superior to most Garmin watches. Form and fit is quality and takes minor bumps with zero marking or scratching. Improved run and golf features were selling points

After a month of owning the watch, I've only charged it once and it's getting close to it's 2nd in a few days. The screen is a big upgrade from my Apple SE watch as well. All the stats and information this watch provides have been a cool insight into things I've never known about. I jumped straight into this watch before trying any of the other versions, but I have no complaints. Survived my entire 6hr19min ultra marathon with ease.

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

So much customization can be done! Very accurate readings. Battery life is tremendous. I will never go back to a different smart watch.

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.

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.

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.

I bought this watch for my husband and he loves it. Able to use it during a workout but also while working and doesn’t get in the way

I’ve been using this watch 2 months now and it’s the best purchase I’ve done for my running and data. I love it, + the battery last A LOT

Best watch on the market, hands down. If you’re into running, swimming, biking, this is the watch for you 100%!

Amazing everything is so accurate easy to use and long battery life

Product is excellent keeps up with my calories I love the fact that it lets me know how far I walked our Ran. Excellent choice. I would recommend this product.

I love this watch! There is not been one day that I have not worn the watch. The battery life is spectacular even when I am listening to music that I've saved on the watch. It pairs seamlessly with my wireless headphones so I can jog on the treadmill without a phone in my pocket. The breadcrumbs feature is fantastic when I'm hiking on a trail that is poorly marked. After having a fitbit and two fossil smart watches that had to be charged daily, this watch lasting for 2+ weeks is well worth the cost. I love the Garmin interface too. Pro tip, get a TPU snap on case protector and gel screen protectors.

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

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.

It's a great tracker with excellent battery life and great GPS accuracy. The screen is great and the stock watch faces are very nice. The sleep tracking is a disaster. Most everything on this watch (Body battery, training readiness, HRV status, etc) relies on sleep tracking accuracy but it's terrible. If I turn over in the middle of the night, it will show I was awake for an hour. I have other sleep trackers I use that are more accurate, but I shouldn't need them. According to Garmin I always have an awful sleep and it's not even close. They need to tone it down because its too sensative. Ill keep the watch, but all those great training tools are useless because of this one poor feature.

Excellent performance for real runners. Help you monitor workouts, recovery and readiness, maps, music storage also GPS

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.
