About This Item

Brilliant AMOLED touchscreen display with traditional button controls and lightweight titanium bezel
Battery life: up to 23 days of battery life in smartwatch mode, up to 31 hours in GPS mode
Confidently run any route using full-color, built-in maps and multi-band GPS
Training readiness score is based on sleep quality, recovery, training load and HRV status to determine if you’re primed to go hard and reap the rewards (data presented is intended to be a close estimation of metrics tracked)
Plan race strategy with personalized daily suggested workouts based on the race and course that you input into the Garmin Connect™ app and then view the race widget on your watch; daily suggested workouts adapt after every run to match performance and recovery
Switch between sports with a button press by using built-in profiles for triathlons, duathlons, brick workouts and swimruns — or customize your own multisport profiles
Using indicators such as HRV status, recent exercise history and performance, get insight into overall effort with training status — and know whether you’re training productively, peaking or strained (data presented is intended to be a close estimation of metrics tracked)
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
See your health and fitness information, connect and compete with friends, sign up for challenges to earn badges and more — all in our free, zero-subscription Garmin Connect™ app
Pay on the go with Garmin Pay™ contactless payments (with a supported country and payment network); listen on the go with downloaded songs and playlists from Spotify, Amazon Music or Deezer (subscription may be required), and connect with your wireless headphones for phone-free listening
As an endurance athlete, you'll wonder how you ever managed without it. Absolutely indespensible. Garmin or nothing.

Lift/run/golf/sleep - Much Better Than Apple!
I bought this watch a month ago and I’m so happy I did… I’ve been an avid Apple Watch wearer for years but haven’t been happy with the health metrics from Apple Health and can’t find third-party apps that meet my wants/needs. Plus the battery suxxxxxxxx on the Apple Watch. This watch does everything right out of the box that I wanted from my Apple Watch plus sooooooo much more. The golf feature slaps too!! I workout every morning and play golf once a week and this watch easily goes 2 weeks between charges. 12/10, would recommend 👍

New Garmin 965
Bought new Garmin 965 for me as a Christmas gift! It's heaps ahead of the 935 I used for the past 7 years. Such a great watch - so much information and easy to read. Also great battery life

Horrible Painful Wrist Strap Rash
The wrist strap has caused a painful red mark on my wrist after normal use. I’ve been a lifelong runner and a high school track coach, and I’ve worn many different watches and fitness trackers over the years. I’ve never experienced a reaction like this before. Given how essential a comfortable and reliable strap is for runners who wear these devices daily, this is very disappointing. A strap should not cause irritation during regular training or day-to-day wear. I expected better quality and comfort.

Poor Reliability
I purchased the watch in June of 2023 and it stopped working in February of 2026. For the purchase price I expected a much longer service life than 2 1/2 years. I was charged an additional fee to replace the watch with a refurbished one. I can only hope this one lasts longer than the last one.
