Mostly good
The watch does well overall, but I’ve had a couple of issues. I’ve had issues where it stops mid-swim without pushing buttons (so I was put on the beta software as a work-around). And, I get a random alert every 12 minutes that will not go away on my run mode…really nice when doing a marathon (at the end of an Ironman …plus during all the training sessions?!) to have a random alert that reminds me every 12 minutes that there is no fix for this phantom alert at this time)?!

I bought my first Garmin several weeks ago always used Apple. What a difference! Love all the features that Garmin has still figuring things out, but can only get better

HR monitor innaccurate
This is my fourth Garmin Forerunner. I miss my 945! The 965 has a very inaccurate HR monitor. I've tried every position on my wrist and all the tricks on chats, still does not work. Garmin sent me a refurbished replacement, same issue. Manually checking HR while wearing confirms it's way off. I miss the 945, far more accurate.

My favorite Garmin to date!
This is probably my 5th or 6th Garmin and hands down my favorite! My previous watch was a Fenix 6, which was also a solid run. I’m a runner, who dabbles in biking, and loves stats! The battery life on this watch is also incredible. I toyed with another Fenix or a solar option. I’m happy I went with the Forerunner over the Fenix, as I wear it all the time and have an office job. It’s definitely smaller and looks better for everyday wear. I do some sort of exercise every day and only need to charge it once a week. The GPS has been the most accurate of all my watches. I can’t say enough great things about this watch. Almost a year later, the battery life is just as good as the day I bought it.

Everything you need and more
This watch has everything you need as a runner. Coupled with a heart rate monitor, you get more metrics than you will ever understand. I use it mostly for running. I also use it for swimming and biking. It is very accurate with the gps. I would say this is more of an expert level watch but beginners can use it as well. It monitors sleep, body battery, training levels and loads, as well as a plethora of info that I haven’t tapped into.

This thing lives on me now. I love how light it is. It doesn’t heat up. The battery last forever. Data is very useful. As a permanent appendage on my wrist, I do have a few gripes. 1. it isn’t nearly as intuitive as my apple watch. 2. It often stays in previous areas for a day or two after leaving (weather/timezones). 3. It doesn’t have the feature that wakes you up based on sleeping patterns.
