Despues de 1 mes de uso, es el mejor reloj que he tenido…. Lo dudaba por el precio pero vale cada centavo. La bateria le dura 2 semanas con uso diario en deportes, muchas opciones de personalizacion, todas las métricas de Garmin, lo recomiendo 100%
Sobresale un poco por el tamaño, es altamente recomendable comprar un cristal y case, las fotos muestran un ejemplo. Lo proteje muy bien

Está muy completo, es bastante exacto y el análisis de la información por entrenamiento es muy detallado. Es hasta ahora el mejor reloj deportivo que he tenido.

I have the FR945 and this FR965
is better in every way. The most obvious is the screen. It is OLED, full color, bright, and responds to touch. Unlike the 945. But also:
The App is improved.
The accuracy of many recorded parameters is improved. Sleep is one example (it is better at detecting wake and sleep and types of sleep and it can record naps. And it gives a “morning report” of all sleep and other health paameters.
It charges very fast.
The screen is highly customizable.
The list of improvements goes on and on, even beyond what they advertise.

I love this watch! I upgraded from a Forerunner 935 and the accuracy of the 965 is so much better.
I’m not a huge fan of the screen going dark, so I set it to always on. This, of course, shortens the battery life, but I don’t mind that too much.
What bothers me the most is I can’t see seconds all the time. I have to flick my wrist every 15 seconds or so to see the seconds come up. This doesn’t sound like much to many people, but if you have to check heart rates all day, that gets old super fast. They can show my HR all the time, why not seconds.
The sleep tracking is pretty good, but sometimes it gets confused about when I’m sleeping or not. One day I was just playing video games for most of the day. Chilling after a long hard run, you know how you do. Anyway, it thought I had gone to sleep. haha. And it doesn’t like it too well if I get up 2 or 3 times for an hour at a time in the night if I need to tend to a sick or injured animal. But for most regular nights, sleep tracking seems to work.
Other than that, not too much to complain about. It’s a nice watch and works well in my use cases for trail running and long distance horseback riding.

If you’re going to buy a Garmin, spend the extra money for the FR965. This thing is a beast. The battery lasts forever. Like literally a month. It seems to be pretty accurate outdoors. The treadmill stuff takes some pretty significant calibration but I don’t mind that. It’s durable. I scratch watches up regularly and I’ve had this watch for nearly 6 months and the screen is still flawwless and I haven’t babied it at all.

O forerunner 965 é perfeito. Opções de treinamento, gráficos e informações completas e precisas. Bateria dura muito, mais de 12 dias sem carregar. Muito satisfeito com a compra. Fornecedor exemplar. Produto veio com NF e garantia de fábrica.

I’ve owned 2 previous garmins. Both forerunners. They did ok. However, as my last one was coming to the end of its life, I began looking outside of Garmin. But, after lots of research I kept returning to the 965. I decided to give it a gamble. I’m so glad I did. Crystal clear display, big enough for me to read while running without my glasses, but not too big.
The amount of information gathered during a run is very impressive. I like the HRV feature. I previously owned a Whoop and paid monthly for a year. This is much better. Being able to listen to music without bringing my phone along is great.
The map feature is a lovely touch, as are the breathing exercise features. I run about 45k a week and I love this watch.

O relógio é espetacular, com várias métricas bastante úteis pra a prática esportiva. A duração da bateria é excelente se comparada a alguns relógios de marcas famosas. Comigo a bateria tem durado em torno de 9 dias usando 24 horas por dia e utilizando os treinos pelo menos 5x na semana! Muito satisfeito com a aquisição.

I moved to this watch from a Garmin Forerunner 955 Solar which I loved for the exercise/health tracking, sensors, and battery life *except* for the “sunlight-visible, transflective memory-in-pixel” screen which works great in bright sunlight and not so much everywhere else.
This watch brings forward everything you like about the functionality of the 955 and add replaces the funky “MIP” screen with AMOLED while still having such a great battery life that it puts to shame the Apple Watch and WearOS watches.
The only thing I wish Garmin would add to their watches is a utility to bring the settings forward from an older watch in a series (“Forerunner” or “Fenix”) to a newer watch in that same series. I’ve suggested this to them.
Altogether I am completely happy with this watch but expect to spend about a week fine tuning the display settings to get that longer battery life. I started with Always On and almost immediately moved away from that.
UPDATE (7/6): I received the watch on June 26th and immediately topped off the battery (it arrived with the battery in the mid-90’s). It’s July 6th (10 days later) and the battery is at 44% with an estimated duration of another 10 days. That’s 21 days of battery life. I’m very satisfied with that. This is why I’m never, ever tempted to order a WearOS, Samsung, or Apple watch.
BTW, like all Garmin watches, it works great with the (Android) Garmin Connect app and gives you access to more data analysis in the app than on the watch.

The battery life on this watch is absolutely insane compared to the apple watch. I exercise at least once a day and sometimes up to four times. The Garmin Forerunner® 965 lasted over 8 days night and day with 13 plus hours of swimming, cycling, running, and lifting workouts. I think I took it off on day 8 with 20 something percent battery left. it is also feels lighter than the apple watch 8. I had the apple watch 8 and Garmin Forerunner® 965 on at the same time for the 8 days, one on each wrist. The data the Garmin Forerunner® 965 has to view is also very impressive with a very nice display.
The only reason i didn’t keep the Garmin Forerunner® 965 was because it wouldn’t work with the apple activity for fitness, my apple watch can text, make calls, take photos with my phone, emails, ect. I think the Garmin Forerunner® 965 is a WAY better fitness watch with a CRAZY battery but it doesn’t have the conveniences i am now used to with the apple watch now.
If the Garmin Forerunner® 965 could do a couple things the apple watch could (text or work with the apple fitness tracking), I would 100% keep it. If i never had a apple watch and have always used Garmin or other smart watch this watch is an absolute beast. I was very impressed with the watch!

My Garmin 965 arrived in a dented box which had clearly been opened and returned before I received it. The watch was missing the charging port cover which prevents salt water and sweat from the device. The box did not have the clear tape factory seal that Garmin told me should have been on the outer box. It had clearly been returned by someone else. I returned it the day after opening the package. I’ll buy it locally, tomorrow.
I’ve had great success with both the Garmin 910XT and 935, so I won’t be changing brands, just getting what I paid for.
