Why Choose Garmin Forerunner® 965 Premium GPS Running & Triathlon Smartwatch?
The Garmin Forerunner 965 delivers a powerful blend of premium materials. It is advanced mapping, and long-lasting battery life designed for elite runners, triathletes, and serious fitness enthusiasts. Its 1.4-inch AMOLED display (454×454 pixels) is housed within a titanium bezel for durability, while still maintaining an elegant look that pairs well with both workout gear and casual wear.
Besides, it has 32 GB of internal storage. Therefore, the Forerunner 965 allows you to store color maps, music, and detailed routes. So, it is unnecessary to carry your phone for many workouts. Also, topoActive trail and road maps come preloaded based on region, and additional maps can be downloaded or removed via WiFi, giving flexibility for travel and differing terrain.
Moreover, battery life is one of the strongest features of this watch. In standard smartwatch mode it can last up to 23 days; using GPS only (no music) you can expect up to 31 hours. More demanding GPS modes, such as All-systems + Multi-Band GNSS, still offer a solid 19 hours, though adding music or other high-drain features reduces that.
Furthermore, health and performance tracking capabilities of this smartwatch are comprehensive—24/7 wrist-based heart rate, pulse oximeter (Pulse Ox), advanced sleep tracking, body battery energy monitoring, VO₂ max estimation, running dynamics, and training readiness stats. The Forerunner 965 supports live tracking, daily suggested workouts, and metrics that adjust based on load and recovery, helping athletes avoid overtraining.
Maps and navigation are also strengths: in addition to trail and road maps, the “Around Me” feature lets you navigate to nearby points of interest. The interface includes both touchscreen interaction and physical buttons, useful for wet, rugged, or gloved situations.
