Run Away Success
After using a Fenix 5s for a couple of months and being quite impressed, I decided to upgrade to this more up to date model. I planned to use it for running along side my Wahoo cycling computer and in conjunction with my strap heart rate monitor. I decided on the 965 mainly because of its screen size and clarity and it seemed to have all of the features I needed. I didn’t go for another Fenix partly due to the cost but also the additional features on that watch were not of interest.After using the watch for several months I can say the differences between the 965 and the Fenix 5s are considerable and I can also say that this is an excellent watch and I have been super impressed by it. The screen quality is far better than the Fenix. The Forerunner is so much clearer and crisper which to be fair should be the case as they are both different types. The gps is also much better on the Forerunner. The Fenix could never seem to get my heart rate correct when exercising heavily which was frustrating. Because of this, when I got the Forerunner I carried on using my strap heart rate monitor. One day however I decided to leave the strap behind and the Forerunner did an excellent job on getting my heart rate correct. So much so I haven’t used the strap since. Another thing I stopped using was the Wahoo simply because the 965 is so good and does everything I need when cycling.On top of that the touchscreen is fantastic. The sleep monitoring is great and the battery life is also excellent. I barely charge it more than once or twice a month.My only slight gripe with it is not actually about the watch but the strap. In the end I had to change it for the fabric type because I was getting sores on my wrist particularly after sweating during exercise. Since changing the strap this has completely gone away.To sum up, this has been one of my favourite purchases in recent times. It does everything I need in a small lightweight package and it does it all exceptionally well. The 965 has replaced my heart rate monitor for cycling and running, it has replaced my Wahoo for cycling and my phone for running. I now just go out with the watch.

Ideal outdoor activities Watch
Tremendous watch for the runner cyclist or outdoor enthusiast. Quickly connected to my phone and related activity apps. Thought I was in better shape than the watch had determine so we are on a journey of physical fitness together.Worth the money.

Glad I switched
Apple Watch Ultra 2 user, saw loads of people with Garmins at races I did. Felt self conscious and bought a 965 to fit in (sad I know..). Only expected to put it on for runs but now my Ultra sits in a drawer and I only wear this. Great having everything in one place rather than having to use a combination of Runalyze, Apple health and WorkOutdoors.Only thing I miss about Apple (workoutdoors) is the awesome maps. Garmin maps are terrible in comparison - janky and horrible to navigate.

My Apple Watch went into the drawer and never out again. This is a beast for running especially if you do trails and use the navigation

Stolen
Great watch but had to purchase direct from Garmin instead due to parcel being tampered with in transit.
