Our take on the Garmin Forerunner 965 Smartwatch

The Forerunner 965 is Garmin's top-tier running watch, with a 1.4-inch AMOLED touchscreen, a titanium bezel and full-color built-in maps. It adds training readiness, running dynamics and recovery insights to the Forerunner line, and pairs multi-band GPS with SatIQ to hold accuracy while saving battery. Battery life runs up to about 15 days in smartwatch mode and up to 31 hours in GPS mode. It suits serious runners and triathletes who want mapping and deep training data without stepping up to a Fenix. Against the Forerunner 265 it adds maps and a titanium bezel; against the Fenix 7 it is lighter and cheaper-feeling but lacks the tougher case and solar options. Reviewers praise the screen and GPS accuracy and note the battery drain from the bright display.
