The Garmin Forerunner 965 is the successor to the Forerunner 955. The Forerunner 965 features a significantly improved display compared to its predecessor. The new AMOLED screen shows your statistics with unprecedented depth and color. Battery life is also enhanced, lasting up to 23 days in smartwatch mode. With GPS active, it runs for 31 hours. Additionally, training functions are more extensive and accurate, providing a more complete overview of your body’s health. Thanks to the new Multi-Band GPS, satellite connectivity is exceptionally strong for even more precise distance and speed measurements.
If you want to use the watch while cycling, you can connect it to your power meter or Garmin Varia™ rear light. To reach your goals, you can utilize advanced physiological features such as heat and altitude acclimation, training load, and race predictor. Built-in activity profiles for running, cycling, triathlon, pool swimming, open water swimming, and track running ensure you can always record and analyze your activities in detail. For races and triathlons, you can switch sports with the press of a button. The new striking design with a titanium bezel and soft comfortable wristband makes the Garmin Forerunner 965 suitable for wearing everywhere: both during training and in your leisure time.
