As soon as you wake up, get your morning report with an overview of sleep, recovery and training outlook alongside HRV status, training readiness and weather (data presented is intended to be a close estimation of metrics tracked)
Multi-band GNSS with SatIQ™ technology provides superior accuracy in challenging environments while also optimizing the device’s battery life
Get wrist-based running dynamics, including cadence, stride length, ground contact time and more, plus wrist-based running power, which gives you a continuous measurement of how much power you’re applying to the road
Safety and tracking features, including incident detection (during select outdoor activities) and Assistance, send a message with your live location to emergency contacts when paired with your compatible smartphone; requires setup and your smartphone to be in an area with network coverage where data connectivity is available

Love the 965!! My favorite thus far!! However I ordered a replacement bad... not as I hoped. Thought it would be exactly the same as the band that came with the watch.

Upgrade To The 965
Switched from a Forerunner 945 due to a broken seal. The 965 is a definite upgrade. More features to figure out how to use, which is a good thing but it takes awhile to get used to it because it is so different. Easier to read notifications, the morning report is good, seeing the temperature in the glances is good, and the nap detector is nice. Only issue I had (before I turned the screen to always on) was trying to my distance or time while I was running.

So Glad I Switched From Apple Watch To This!
I was originally going to buy the Forerunner 970, but I didn't like that it has a bright colored piece on the edge that you can never remove. Wearing a bright yellow accent piece with every outfit is just not practical for everyone! So I went for the 965 because it looks sleek and premium and offers outstanding features for running, cycling, and general health and well-being. One month in and I am delighted with the experience. I enjoy a more traditional watch design over the Apple Watch, and Garmin's in-depth suite of features continues to make the experience more and more valuable. The best purchase I have made this year!

Hr Tracking
I bought This watch for the gps tracking and HR tracker. GPS is great. If your trying to track your overall HR or your zones. Then this watch is a glorified wrist weight. Even with the chest strap it does an average job at best. For the price of this watch I expect better. I reached out to Garmin and they didn’t really have an answer for me. They should replace this watch in all transparency

Garmin Never Disapoints
Its been years since I've bought a Garmin product, I had an Apple watch for a while but its like having an Iphone strapped to your wrist to many functions, time suck and distracting...I had a Whoop for a few years too, but you need your phone to look up the data. Glad I bought this becuase it has a beautiful easily customizable face, there are a ton of features, but if you want to just dsay go on a ride an dhit go..you cna do so without sopending 20 minutes on a device. It send me my texts, does alarms...on and on the data and GPS are on track for serious adult level atheletets. I bought the HR moniter with it which of course gives it even more metrics. Fav features are the sleep and recovery and "charge" feature where it tells you where your body is in the recovery process. ALSO you don't have to freaking charge it every dang day like an Apple Watch and or Whoop. I love it.
