I tried these on at a local shop and noticed that the 965 was considerably bigger than the 265 physically. In the video they look almost the same size but it felt at least 30% larger in reality. I was about to buy the 965 based on online research but it was so bulky I ended up going for the 265.

Did you really compare the 265 or was it possibly the 265S? The 265 is 46.1 x 46.1mm while the 965 is 47,1 x 47,1mm, so this should not feel like a 30% difference. However, the 265S is 41.7 x 41.7mm, so it would be comprehensible that it feels 30% smaller than the 965.

I just upgraded from Venu 2s to 965, and loving the map navigation. Went out for a run with some friends, easily transferred the course they created to my watch and used the map on my 965 to guide me through the unfamiliar route much like waze. Awesome feature to have! Granted the 965 may seem bulky for smaller wrists (including mine tbh 😆) but the titanium bezel makes it passeable to wear with any kind of dress code, not too sporty looking for me which I like. I got used to the size after a while, and the larger Amoled screen is definitely great for quick glances during runs.

I switched to a Garmin Epix from an Apple Watch 4. I have now become so addicted to the Garmin training metrics with Garmin that I can't go back. Garmin's morning report is probably my favorite feature. The AMOLED display is awesome, and I personally like having a round watch over a square Apple Watch. The 965 (or even 265) delivers almost all of the features that most people would want, even cheaper than the Epix that I bought. I probably would have purchased the 965 if it had been out when I purchased the Epix. (still love the Epix thought - the build quality will probably last forever). I don't think people can go wrong with either of these two new watches from Garmin. They look awesome. Love your reviews DESFIT!

Are you still digging the Garmin Epix after using it a good while? I am using an Apple Watch 4, as you did, and I’m trying to decide whether to move over to Garmin, since I run often, or stick with Apple. I’m tempted by all the cool running data, and the weeks long battery life of the 965. Do you find yourself missing the functionality of the Apple Watch, with all the watchface options and apps?

@@TroyRickertsen I’m wearing the Epix as I type this. 😀. When it comes to measuring fitness progression, there is no contest. There is a feature on the Garmin called Acute load, and for me it is a game changer. It shows the progression of your ability to handle harder work without overtraining. And it tells you if you are overtraining. The integration with sleep quality, training readiness - it all just works together. At the end of the day - I’m kind of a gadget geek. I just really like how everything on the Garmin fits together. I’m sure you can get some Apps for an Apple Watch that will give you similar data as well. I think I just wanted something different than Apple to change it up.

@@Sidzuko In the end, I ended with 965, but only because it was a gift. But refer to using a combo with 840. I'm not impressed. First, it is best to set up 840 as your primary training device (on the Garmin Connect page) even if you are using 265/965 more often. I've noticed that if 965 is set as primary, then after ride with 840 (with 965 on my wrist), it has a problem with synchronising with my phone thru Blutooth because 965 is connected to my phone. I had to force sync on my phone in order to upload ride from 840. 965/265 is ok for riding on a bike... if you don need data from screen. In winter while riding with 965 it need to be under clothes in order to take HR data from skin... you can use additional HR strap and have 965 outside.... but then, it is better to use 840. Navigation..... 840 as it have a larger screen, is better. In the end,..... combo is best for someone who prefers to see as much data during training as it is possible, and/or navigation Using only 965/265, is OK if you are not "data junkie"

Just ordered the 965 a few days ago, having used my 645 Music for 6 years. Excited for the upgrade. Everything points to amazing in comparison. One thing that can always be a little deceiving with these, is that some features, as you mentioned once, do require you to have your phone on you. When I run, I never ever carry my cell phone on me. So some features are eliminated for me, but I’m always confused as to which. Some things are preloaded on to the watch, and certain things come off the satellite connection. So…🤷🏻‍♂️. Good video. If I could make one suggestion though. Please slow down your speech. I made it through, but I had a headache after from trying to process everything so quickly. I’ve run into this with a few other creators’ videos on this watch too. Maybe it’s just an over-caffeinated triathlete thing. But I’m that too, and still take a breath every few seconds.

I have the 1st gen AWU and it was a sufficient upgrade from AWU Series 6. After 2 years of having the 1st gen AWU it was sufficient until I started marathon training. I purchased the Forerunner 965 in Oct 2024 because of the battery longevity, focus on training and emphasis on recovery. I am currently training for a bike marathon, half marathon, and an open water swim. The ultra was sufficient until I realized I needed more juice in the battery and it needed a charge for the next workout. During parts of long endurance training, staying connected via bluetooth or GPS and receiving app notifications the ultra could not handle two workout days. With the 965 I have the security of the battery life, no notifications, with GPS on, live tracking, vo2 max, and pace reminders from the watch to either increase tempo or slow down tempo. It is a great investment. The Ultra is great for staying in contact with constant daily data flowing in and out of the watch. With the 965 I can be completely immerse in my training and workouts without the distractions or worrying about battery capacity at the end of the day.

I was stuck between these two models and I ended up going for the 965 bc I was able to get it for 406 shipped which I thought was a good price seeing that a new 265 is around 450 before tax. Otherwise, I would have gone for a 265.

Displays are not sapphire. They protrude and are curved. They also seem more reflective. The titanium bezel doesn’t really make up for the fact that the body is still poly-carbon (plastics).

Display doesn’t protrude, certainly not on the 265 I’m wearing now - the bezel sits higher, but the curvature of the glass does make it look like it sits higher when viewed from above

The problem of this watch is that; It doesn't have background color in data screen setting, like FR-955! It is only black background with white shining amoled font wich shines on to your eyes! I didn't have eyes comfortability and easy readability! That's why i sent the watch back.

I prefer the 965 because of the better battery life. I worry it’s too large of a watch and won’t be comfortable to sleep in and wear all the time. What has been the user experience regarding comfort for the 965?

Great review. One thing for me that no one seems to cover in reviews is WRT swimming. Can you set a swim alarm for either distance or laps? I cannot seem to be able to do this on my Venu 2 and I would upgrade to either of these if that function exists. I’m currently checking the watch to set a 750m split time or 1000m finish for example, manually, which is a pain.
@stennan
@stennan Жыл бұрын
I think you can. I could set up a alert (lap alert) each 500m on my forerunner 735xt. I think the issue is that the venu lacks the buttons needed to manage the watch while the display is wet (touchscreen).
