    I tried the Epix Pro gen 2 and the Apple Watch Ultra 2. I really like the Forerunner 965 best of all of them. The form factor is a bit smaller than the other two and I barely notice I have it on. The screen is a massive upgrade from my previous Garmin watches. The health metrics are a significant upgrade from my Apple Watch. Battery life is incredible. Overall, extremely happy with this watch!

    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%).

    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.

    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.

    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 have had the apple watch for more than four years and the truth is that after buying the Forerunner I understood that it is absurd to charge the apple watch every day when the Garmin lasts almost a week in use without a charge.

    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

    I like all the metrics it tracks, it guesses my weightlifting exercises correctly half of the time, battery life is about 2 weeks and doesn’t take long to recharge. Durability is nice. Overall worth purchasing.
