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.

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.

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 watch! Bright screen, accurate GPS, and great battery life. Perfect for running and workouts. Worth it!

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.
