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.

Amazing watch with even better screen!
Awesome watch! Amazing upgrade from my 945! The screen is incredible and the forerunner series gets better and better.

My Coach, Caddie, and Sleep Snitch — All on My Wri
I’ve trained with this watch for 5 years — 6 half Ironmans, 1 full Ironman, countless pickleball battles, and more golf rounds than I should probably admit. It’s basically been my fitness parole officer the entire time. I dig my Garmin Forerunner 965. The battery life is fantastic, and the ability to load workouts directly onto the watch is a game changer. During runs or bike intervals it tells me exactly what to do and when to do it, which means I can’t cheat (even when I really want to). The immediate feedback helps me actually hit every interval instead of just “feeling like I worked hard,” which is usually athlete code for slacking. The golf features are awesome too. It gives accurate distances to front, center, and back of the green, and with a quick tap I can see how far to carry a hazard or plan a layup. It even keeps my score, which is helpful evidence when my buddies start revising history in the clubhouse. The sleep analysis is another nice touch — apparently the watch knows exactly how poorly I sleep before big races and early tee times. My one complaint: the font size. I hate, hate, hate it. I’ve made the workout screens as big as possible, but the instructions for the next interval still show up in tiny font. When you’re running hard, squinting at a microscopic message like you’re trying to read the fine print on a pharmaceutical ad isn’t ideal. Overall though, this watch has been an incredible training partner — part coach, part caddie, part sleep detective. If Garmin could just make the interval instructions readable by someone over 40, it would be perfect. Still giving it 5 stars.

Awesome!
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.

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 👍
