@AeroEng123 Год назад

Same, I am very tempted to upgrade. I was considering an Epix but now maybe the 965. However, I'll probably wait awhile longer since the 935 is still going strong ... just a little beat up after all these years.

@BOGDAN SERBAN no training readiness on the 255, Garmin try to get people right in the FMO, with their new watches, at least Apple retrospectively add software upgrades to older watches. Garmin really need to give respect to those of us who but their watches for actual sport, rather than pander to the consumer, who buys the new iPhone every time one is released.

@renevh2832 Год назад

Great review, loads of information. I am a bit confused how battery life compares to the Epix gen2. At first glance 965 seems to last longer, but only in smartwatch mode. During activity it has less juice. So what is the bottom line best performer? Also good to add that since its a forerunner, the 965 misses some functionality such as energy modes, virtual caddy and distance function for golf and some outdoor oriented stuff.

@Boleyn1895 Год назад

You mention a new video on the comparison of the 265 vs the 965, any chance of one comparing the 965 and the Epix 2? - reading comments here and elsewhere that seems to be the biggest choice people are trying to make - thank you.

@adrianbjones Год назад

This looks awesome, except for the curved display. It seems to give off awful reflections at the edge (just like any curved edge phone does). I just don't get why companies use them. Apple finally gave us a flat screen watch with the Ultra and now Garmin is going backwards.

@hristogavrilov Год назад

I wish Garmin would sell their sensor alone with no screens and a selection of rubber, leather, and titanium bands. This way those of us into horology can still wear our nice watches on one hand while tracking all the data by wearing a simple bracelet on the other hand. Rubber for workouts and leather or titanium for the rest of the day. It would make so much sense. Most people would buy multiple bands, battery will last ages, no screen to scratch or damage.... Heck I'd pay them to make me one. 😀

I tried purchasing the 955, but my local retailer was sold out. He had one 965 left, which I purchased. I thought I'd prefer the MIP screen and extended battery life, but I'm kinda sold on this AMOLED screen. It's much more crisp, which makes map use much more functional, as well as daily use more pleasurable.

@levon9 2 месяца назад

What do you think about the brightness, esp in low light situations? I currently have the 945, and all my watches have used this display tech, so I'm worried about the 965 being garish/too bright (for lack of a better term). But it's tempting to upgrade .... 945 is perfectly readable outside during my runs .. I'm assuming this one must be on par.

@athletejmv Год назад

Awesome watch. However, a huge pro for me over the Apple Watch is the always on MIP (transreflective) display that doesn't consume much power. I'm not a big fan of AMOLED displays... especially for outdoor use when I'm exercising/training. I'll be going with the 955 Solar. My favorite watch is the Instinct Crossover Solar, but after going through two watches I was experiencing the minute hand coming loose and wiggling... a huge no... hence my preference for the 955 solar.

@TjPhysicist Год назад

i do hope garmin continues to have a mid/high end MIP display version of the watch (say the fenix/tactix lines)...i get AMOLED looks nice, but like you i much prefer MIP for watches especially ones mostly meant for fitness etc. It looks nice but there's no point, IMO, for AMOLED on a watch screen.

@onwithandoverwith Год назад

I'm 52 years young and I was thrilled to see the release of the 1.4" amoled display on the 965. I owned, and then returned, the Coros Apex Pro 2 simply because of the new Forerunner 965 release. I NEED TO SEE THE DISPLAY. PERIOD. I would still own the Coros Apex Pro 2 had the 965 not been released. Garmin app falls short compared to the Coros app but since I can't see the micro font sized BS, I'm all about the BIG SCREEN. Garmin Amoled 1.4" screen on Forerunner 965 = Sold.

@user-ko4pe9yd4e Год назад

The watch looks amazing, my only complaint is I wish the screen was either flat (so we would have better screen protector options) or they offered a sapphire option. The curved glass is a big negative for me.

@deanrobbins8102 Год назад

Been rockin' a fenix 3 HR since 2015-16 and it's still going strong. Gone through a dozen or so silicon bands but the watch itself is bulletproof. Been looking at replacing it and your videos have been amazing ... such a great help. I'm stuck between the Epix2 and the 965 though. I'm leaning towards the 965. What do you all think is a better pick?

@Bgswoleaf Год назад

They’re both great but it’s just the price adjustment for me that I’m leaning more towards 965 FR

@angra6278 Год назад

I much prefer the MIP display instead of Amoled but I would say the UI design of the 965 feels much more nice, modern and premium compared to Fenix 7 hopefully Garmin don't put less effort or even ditch the MIP display on newer interations

@joaopaulomatos4270 8 месяцев назад

Thanks your content, man. I am deciding between the 955 solar, base Fenix 7 base solar (we can find incredible discounts in the last weeks), 965, or Suunto Race. For the last 5 years, I have been using a Suunto Spartan Trainer, with zero problems, but I am noticing that the display is dimming and the battery life is not the same, though still alright. I've never had luck with Garmin devices. My Suunto survived two Vivoactive 4 (both of them died before 6 months of use), and my wife's forerunner 35. Therefore, I am having a hard time deciding to stay with Suunto and go with the Race (though it is amoled, I prefer MIP, and the Vertical is beyond my budget) or give Garmin another chance. I once saw on reddit the following comment that sure brought me LOL: "MIPS if you're an athlete who trains outdoors a lot. OLED if you just want people at the office to think you are.¨.

@travisharrisphotography Год назад

Des, I wanted to ask you.. I have the 955 Solar and love it. Really do. I am worried about Garmin leaving the MIP screens behind as time moves on... While this new 965 looks impressive, do you think Garmin will continue to produce the 955 MIP line in the future?

@levon9 2 месяца назад

Great review - subscribed. Any chance the L/R Balance metric will be added? I currently have a 945 (non-LTE) that I use with a HRM strap and I like seeing if I'm favoring a leg or not. It would be nice not to have to use the strap - which can be troublesome, and also just died for me the 2nd time 😕 Sooo ... the 965 is tempting. I also wonder if the 695 is too bright, esp in low-light conditions? I've never had a smart watch and all of my running watches have used the same display tech starting with the FR 205 up to FR 945.

Does the 965 have a power mode where you can turn certain features? On my Fenix I created a custom power mode for hiking. In addition, put the watch in power save mode at night which disables everything except my heart rate sensor. P.S. Great review as always!!

@tonybowen455 Год назад

Wow, even better than expected! Excellent review. My only questions are how would a screen protector work with the curved screen? Would the green watch band fade over time? I'm guessing there's other watches that have curved screens and colored bands where people know the answer.

@DesFit Год назад

So I actually tried a screen protector for a 955 - it didn't work but I think a smaller diameter could work but there could be a slight lip on the edge of the protector before the curve. Not sure about fading on the band...doubt it though as I have some other colors around from years past that still look good.

It's a nice watch and I'm considering it as I was about to get a 955 when I saw this was coming out. I think they have missed a trick not including the ECG thing available on the Venu 2+. Even if you may never use it it's strange that it's not on the flagship forunner watch but on a watch just over half the price. The extra detail of the Amoled is nice but it's brightness jumps out a bit too much for me and I'd be turning down the brightness lots which makes the think a 955 might suit me more (or I gain battery life). I've never had an issue with the older screen type myself even on my old 735xt which is still going strong just lacking many features.

@nickdixon9362 Год назад

Nice to see Garmin bringing an amoled screen to the forerunner range. But for me I don’t understand why they haven’t used the menu look/setup from the FR955 & Fenix etc, instead it looks like they have used the Venu one. And my other gripe is the curved screen so a glass screen protector can’t be fitted especially when it’s a not a sapphire one? But the mapping in amoled looks incredible there’s no denying that! For the price it is and the discount you can get on an Epix I’d rather spend a little bit more and opt for one of them for in my opinion for a better all round watch. Top video as always though DesFit!

@richdaillest1 Год назад

Agreed this looks more like the UI of the Venu and I dont like that. Wish they stuck with the 955 look. Also I love the stock watch face that comes out of the box with the 955. Wish they included the official version of that on the 965.

@jasper7257 Год назад

Great review! I appreciate the info on the bands and especially the detailed size comparison with the 955. I have small 17cm wrists and the 955 just fits ok when I tried in in the shop, I'm afraid the 965 is pushing it diameter wise but the reduced thickness would still make for a more comfortable overall experience, since the 955 is a bit bulky so could be inconvenient with longs sleeves/sleeping. I still haven't made my final decision between the two. OLED I don't care about, but that titanum bezel, reduced thickness and better screen to body ratio certainly make for a better look I think, so leaning a bit more towards 965 still.

Great review! I recently lost my Garmin Fenix 3 HR. I love that watch to death. Did all I wanted it to do and did not scratch when I was out bouldering, working on my truck, hittings rocks, and etc. It was an amazing watch! Since I have a Samsung I tried the Galaxy active 4. It couldn't keep up and I was very disappointed. This week I saw the forerunner 955 on sale and the Fenix 7SS! I instantly took the forerunner 955 solar since it was open box and they gave me an additional $20 off and 10% off! I got it for $450! Then this just came out and I was like ummm okay well I can still return this watch but idk if it's worth it. I feel like I should go ahead and get this because well I need a new watch and didn't expect Garmin to just come out with a new watch just like that. That being said are they coming out with a new Fenix watch? If so Ill most likely spend money on that because I loved my Fenix 3 and the stuff I'll be doing is for sure gonna abuse my watch but so far this Forerunner got what I want and it's holding up just worried that it'll scratch once it hits the rocks.

USB C required for all electronics shipped into the EU, good to see all mfr(s) migrating to a standard connector, obviously in this instance the Garmin side is not universal. The intent from the EU was to cut down on ewaste ofmaterials, read that Apple proprietary connectors per each phone launch, lots of ewaste generated from a non-backwards compatible mfr/marketing stance.

@TCPUDPATM Год назад

The sensor sucks. They fixed something that wasn’t broken.. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Need help guys, Fenix 7 solar is currently on sale at 850 aud while 965 is 999 aud. I like both, it’s just that 965 has this bright amoled display which is good addn’l feature. What should I get? Big help guys thank you!

Hey there! Quick question. If I do indoor HIIT workouts, do you think the 965 HR regulate would be acceptable? Not training for anything, and I know it would be overkill for me, but I have the opportunity to get a new 965 for $390. Love the buttons, the screen, and everything that Garmin offers. Have just read, and watched your video, where people have concerns about interval training with the HR results. Respect you and your opinions! Thank you, sir!

Hi Des, thanks for the review! Does the glass standing higher than bezel? Also does it track barometric pressure? Thanks a lot!

@DfunkymonkK Год назад

Did you find out if the glass is higher than the bezel? Looks like glass stands past the bezel on Garmin's site

@artemkovrikov1142 Год назад

@@DfunkymonkK yes, looks like it goes slightly higher and it’s curved at the edges

I hope they will NOT use this UI in Fenix series. Very...childish...IDK. Fenix is a tool. Somehow we got from Teenage Engineering to a teenage design (who knows -> he knows)

Need help! I’m going to hit an ultra Trail (80km). I’m a slow guy, running 6.10 hours in a 45km. I would like to change my Fenix 5x but I’m not dure if It is a good idea to choose a 955 or a 965 or remain in a Fenix 7 (or 7x) even if I rather prefer to switch on a lighter and less bulky watch…any suggestion????

@grzegorzkrajewski1095 10 месяцев назад

Why don't you tell people about aggressive auto dimming during activity in AOD mode??? This watch makes me nervous when making intervals on high HR and you have to make strong gesture to brighten the screen.

The 965 is not compatible with the quick bike mount. And while you can get the universal bike mount, at issue is that if, as a triathlete, you used both the quick mount for the bike as well as the wrist-strap version to transfer the watch from your wrist to the bike at T1 and back at T2, you've got no wrist solution now. Yeah, I know, those take extra seconds during transition, but I'm not a podium guy. And I'd rather not have a separate bike computer. That Garmin switched from the screw-in pins from earlier models to standard spring pins conveys no obvious advantage cost wise. But the quick fit mount compatibility issue is annoying.

Hi there. Love your videos. Can you help me, and tell me if when i'm running, in the screen can i see the elevation gain? de D+? Or just when i finish the race and connect to Garmin or Strava, like in my 245? Thank you vey much!

@tomfluffer7055 Год назад

What about open water swimming? The FR955 sucks at that. How does the FR965 perform?

@josemiguelbrdz8156 Год назад

I have a 935, I was a triathlete but not anymore, I only use it on a few occasions when cycling or swimming, I thought about whether to buy this or see the new Casio GBD-H2000 for occasional use in exercise and for daily use as a more utilitarian watch, which really You recommend me? is the casio worth it? I've had about 4 models from Garmin and for 100% pro sports it's very effective, but I'm attracted to Casio because I love G-shocks, thanks

@adam_tri_hard Год назад

Bought the FR965 yesterday purely due to its lightness in weight compared to my EpixG2 as I sleep with my watch for HRV tracking. However I bet Garmin bring out an EPIX light in 6-12 months 😩

@ketanmamtora4693 Год назад

Great video as always! One quick question - is Garmin planning a 965 Solar version as well? Thanks

@DesFit Год назад

Thanks! Solar charging with an AMOLED display would be marginal at best with today's technology. The cost would likely far outweigh any benefit. There's still work to be done to make solar charging more substantial with MIP displays.

@ketanmamtora4693 Год назад

@@DesFit thanks! Very helpful.

@ArunPlaysPiano Год назад

Only an upgraded GPS chip will make me want to upgrade my 955. That's all that matters to me! One secondary thing would be an upgraded Bluetooth chip for higher-res audio transmission. I believe the 955 used the basic SBC codec which for a £500 smartwatch is a bit naff.

@Starcraft2Sonic Год назад

Damn it! I'm so unlucky. I justgot the EPIX 2 and paid a premium for it 3 weeks back. Had I known this was coming I would have waited. SOB! Garmin :( Why you do this to me.....

@vosch8229 Год назад

I really like light watches, so I would change the wrist band for a (lighter) nylon version. Thanks for showing how it can be changed. Now I want to have the 965 even more.

@CraigEggleton 10 месяцев назад

The ultrafit bands blend in very well with this watch and the difference in weight makes this watch disappear on the wrist.

@bruhbruh-nf8hu Год назад

I guess 965 isnt compatible with quick release bands, only quick fit right? :(

@alangray8952 Год назад

Can Audible be accessed via the 965 to listen to audiobooks and podcasts without having to carry a phone? I've got a Coros Apex Pro, the 965 is really grabbing my attention.

@odijassim Год назад

Thank you for all your efforts. I want you to advise me between the Agnight 3 watch from Poler and the garmen 965 watch.armen 965 watch In terms of heart rate

@Natan9000 Год назад

I can’t say I like the new visual software layout. Colors seem cheap and bad design. In fact I prefer the looks of my 255’s menu. Too bad cuz I do love the bigger amoled screen.. I guess a 1.4 inch screen epix 3 would be perfect 😅

@hansamu001 Год назад

Thank you for your review! It helped me to purchase the watch. Do you know how to connect the watch with the Garmin Edge 1040? I have been trying to use it as a heart-rate, but I haven't been successful in finding a way to pair the two devices so far. Thank you in advance.
