Forerunner 965

I had been lifelong garmin wearer and (amateur) competitive runner for almost 20 years, but i am in the maintenance phase of life (I still run / race). But for me, my watch is becoming more of a lifestyle watch / heart rate monitoring tool. I would like to have closer analysis of any heart irregular

I tried wearing an apple series 11 and a Garmin forerunner 965 together for a few days and these are my takeaways from it; Battery life: this doesn’t really warrant a comment here. I have to charge the AW daily and the 965 is 23 days Heart rate tracking: Almost identical. I checked during sleep duri

Garmin 965 is not overkill, overkill would be to leave a device you're happy with and switch to another device, which almost certainly means an money loss. I'm very happy with the switch from Garmin to Amazfit, but my needs were different. Amazfit also offers the equivalent of Body Battery (Biocharg

I've used a Garmin for years. The last model was the forerunner 965 and the optical heart rate sensor did not work well. Almost unusable. I had to use a chest strap. I was not satisfied with the build quality of the watch and the strap. The belt was deteriorating rapidly. The watch quickly collected

For me a strap is more comfortable, especially indoors. The data is also better, if you care. When I compared my Forerunner 965 to my Polar H10, the watch was a couple BPM lower and showed a slower HR response. The straps are EKG based so as soon as that electrical impulse is generated, the strap ba

If you care about exercise and do sports, Garmin is the way to go. You can get Venu 3 or Vivoactive 5/6 or Forerunner 255/965 for not too much money. Or maybe the Instinct 3. For Huawei, it looks nice, and it's enough, but for nothing serious. I was a user of Huawei Watch GT3 and I was happy, until

Garmin Forerunner 965. Which is way overkill for measuring sleep, but I bought it for myself after my 6 months of acute illness were over and I thought I'd be able to start running again. The Vivoactive or something similar would probably be good enough for these metrics.

I have been using Suunto run for several months. I am a runner and do strength training twice a week. In 6 months of use, I have 2100 km. I was a Garmin user. The last watch I owned was a forerunner 965. Suunto run has a precise gps. It can be compared to the forerunner 965. They have the same accur

Will second this. An Apple Watch is fine starting out, but if you start to get serious about running and as your distances start increasing, you’re going to get frustrated with the Apple Watch. I’ve had the Garmin Forerunner 965 for a couple of months now and have loved it. Not only is it a great fi

I had the FR965, but I decided to go for the Vantage V3. When it comes to training load, Polar performs much better than Garmin because Garmin underestimates training in lower heart rate zones, so in order to achieve productive status, I often ended up overtraining. In my opinion, Polar also perform
