GarminForerunner® 965 Running Smartwatch, Colorful AMOLED Display, Training Metrics and Recovery Insights, Amp Yellow and Black

Love, Love, LOVE my Garmin Forerunner 965!! I switched from an apple watch and the only thing I really miss at all was the ability to "Close my Rings" in Activity and Health. Garmin has much better training stats and I'm loving the gps/maps for my trail running. This baby lasted through a marathon and still had battery life to go! My apple watch could NEVER. The features are superior from any previous watch, and I very much think it was worth the hefty price! I'm still getting used to having to use the buttons on the side to clear notifications etc, but I'm slowly adapting to how this watch functions!! As for how comfortable, light, and nice it fits on me– I'm a pretty small gal! I'm 5'3" and 120lbs soaking wet haha, I was worried about this watch being too heavy and big on my wrist but it fits quite well! It doesn't bug me on my wrist while I'm active, or even while I'm sleeping! I do wish it came with instructions on how to change the band, but youtube and a quick google search will give me the information I need! I do really like that the watch had a black colored metal option for the bezel of the watch, as I only wear gold jewelry and would've been a bit bummed if my watch was silver. I know that's minor, but black looks so much sleeker with the clothes I wear and whatnot, and I feel that it doesn't look too distracting since it's darker.

I'm quite happy with this purchase. I particularly like that I can see my heart rate in addition to the other metrics like pace and distance. I previously used the Garmin 45 [which I still own] which did not allow me to know my heart rate while I was running; I would have to upload my run to know what my heart metrics were. This feature allows me to better monitor my efforts during a run. The Garmin 965 picks up GPS really fast and allows me to be on my way sooner. This watch has more features than I actually will use; but I knew this before I purchased and it is not a problem. This is my first high-end running watch and I'm enjoying the experience.

This is a very good training watch. Super accurate. Worth every dollar spent. Have improved significantly in my pace time due to having the watch and knowing exactly what my pace is at any time. No more carrying my heavy phone for music, as this watch has music service ability.

Amazing!! You never want try a different watch

The media could not be loaded. I’ve always been a loyal Apple fan, but when I started my weight loss and health journey, I realized there were some metrics I didn’t know about. I got this fitness tracker for Christmas and decided to give it a try before returning it for something Apple.It works great! It lasts for days, which is crazy because I have so many other fitness trackers that drain their batteries quickly.People love the look of it too. They also support third-party watch partnerships, which is awesome. I can now wear Christmas-themed watches or Marvel or Star Wars watches occasionally. It’s also really easy to set up, which is a huge plus for anyone who uses Apple products.

GOOD

A watch's first use is to tell time. Unfortunately not what you get. I use the training portion rarely but trying to see the time is something you may want to see at any hiur aby time you raise your wrist.
