Terrible product
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!

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?

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 ...

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.

Forerunner 965 - The not so great upgrade
I purchased a factory refurbished Forerunner 965 after my 955 died after several years. Overall I am relatively happy with the 965 although I probably prefer the 955. The AMOLED screen is bright and clear when it is on, but dark most of the time. I have to purposely turn my wrist or tap the screen to get it to light up. That is not really much of a problem except when ...

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.

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 ...
