Forerunner Good For Four Months

Forerunner 965 only made it four months. Same problem I’ve experienced 3 times. Altimeter goes haywire providing inaccurate data by 10s of thousands of feet. No way to disable this feature and this is my 3rd failure of the exact same nature. I soak it in distilled water after every swim and take excellent care of the unit. It looks brand new.

So far so good. Upgraded from my 745 and love the added specs.

Totally Frustrating, Totally Regretting Buying It

I bought this 1 week ago - spent 3 hours trying to set it up. Failed. Keeps flipping in to Russian. I have given up and thrown it in the cupboard

My 965

I purchased this almost 1 mont ago and I´m very happy ... nice size, a lot of information and beautiful as well ...

Tips

Hello I bought this watch from 6 mounth ago and i am happy, but i can say that in the activity summari of trail running and running in the watch, the average speed is missing. Could be possible introduce this date?. Another question, in the historial of cycling and running, we can see the km setmanal and mensual. Could be possible introduce the anual kilometers? This dates cuold be from big utility. My anterior watch was forerunner 945 and these dates was missing too. Thank you.

Very Good Watch

I have about a month with this watch and its perfect for tracking my workouts and time my runs and i only charge it once a week sometimes every 2 weeks

Love Tracking My Steps, But Also My Sleep

I absolutely love this watch,it tracks sleep, steps, blood pressure.

Loving My 965!

I am loving my 965! It is light years ahead of my old Forerunner 245. I can't wait to get out on the trails, in northern Michigan, and use the mapping!!!

Best Screen And Battery Life Yet!

Ive been using Garmin watches since 2012 and have yet to be disappointed. The battery life and screen are both vastly improved from the 945 (it gave me nearly 5 years of solid performance so no complaints). I cant wait ti dive deeper into the new metrics available on the 965!

Great Watch

I really like this watch because it is light weigh and has a bright screen face, I'm an older person and I need an easy to read screen and this watch has it. I'm not a runner but this watch keeps up with my steps and my heart rate and my calories burn and bunch of other statistics that I can't remember. I've only had this watch for a little over two weeks and so far it has been GREAT. The battery seems to last a pretty long time because I charged it when I got it and two weeks later it is only down to 40 percent left. Thanks Garmin.

Top Tier

After upgrading from the 745 this thing is light years ahead. Love the oled touch screen update!!

Pair Issue

my replacement new Garmin come 2 weeks ago, but it cannot be automatically connected with my phone until I power cycle the watch. The support people are good, but my problem has not been resolved so far.

Best Watch In The Market

I bought this 2 years ago after use another brand and the difference was better huge. This watch is more reliable, better accuracy, more data and super stylish.

Great Upgrade

It is a amazing watch and was a huge upgrade form the Fenix 3 this watch is a must have for triathlon
