Garmin Forerunner 965 Review

As the successor to the Garmin 955, the 965 has some pretty big shoes to fill but it is worth the upgrade?

AMOLED screen is a great addition ; Battery life doesn’t suffer greatly from the new screen ; Still great all-round sports tracking

Very similar features to the Garmin 955 ; It’s more expensive than the 955 ; No solar option

With the Garmin Forerunner 965 it really is all about the screen because with that aside, it’s offering the same features as the 955. If you’re desperate for a top-end Forerunner with a lovely colour display and that same great sports tracking and that...

Garmin Forerunner 965 review: the best Forerunner in years

The Forerunner 965 is the best lightweight multisport watch right now

UI has garish colours ; Some teething issues with software

The Garmin Forerunner 965 is everything I hoped the Forerunner 955 Solar would be and more. The watch uses the same sensors and features as its predecessor, but it's lighter and thinner than that. The new AMOLED display is bright and responsive, and...

Garmin Forerunner 965 review: Raising the game

Garmin brings an AMOLED display to its excellent Forerunner line, so it looks better than ever - but does its battery life still impress?

New, more vibrant AMOLED screen ; Titanium bezel adds some style ; Battery life still impresses

Basically the same features as 955 ; Noticeable price jump ; Battery drops in some scenarios

The Garmin Forerunner 965 is a great running watch and sports watch in general. It takes the excellent smarts from the Forerunner 955 and gives it a superb AMOLED screen a more refined look all while still delivering solid battery life.
