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
Not happy. Replaced the same model with a recertified one & still having cadence lock issues almost daily. Finally bought a heart rate monitor chest strap for more accurate heart rate readings. It’s unbelievable the difference & impacted my training SO much. Will never buy the 965 again!

Sharp Screen
i exchange my 955 to 965 which is a big improvement from my point, the screen is much sharper and the battery life is the same if not better.

Best Around
Best Fitness Watch I've ever owned. Does exactly what I needed to do at the level of performance that far surpasses any of the smart watches I've owned. If you're looking for a fitness Smartwatch I would highly recommend this one.

Garmin 965 Hard To Use
The Garmin smartwatch is too complicated to use had more than 2 weeks with it and can’t even make my workouts with the watch. It’s not that don’t know technology because I use computers smart phones but this it’s. Pain. The instructions aren’t clear

Great Watch With A Fatal Flaw
This watch is 95% perfect. I swim (alot), bike, run, hike, SUP, kayak... and it does it all. My favorite is the connection to all trails so I can keep my phone in my pocket all day (okay, minus time for pictures) and focus on the trail with inobtrusive trail guidance, a full color and easy to read map, and accurate tracking. LOVE IT! I also love that swimming workouts are low maintenance. Other than drill sets, I can turn it on and it knows (mostly) when I start and stop my sets. And it is 95% accurate on distance tracking in the pool. That said, I've already had to replace the watch once for a broken altimeter - a long time challenge across Garmin models that I've also had to replave. Apparently chlorine destroys the device. Not at all good for a watch marketed to triathletes who... gulp... swim. Alot. I likely will never pay full price for another Garmin elite watch until I know this is fixed.
