The first meter that monitors heart rate variability and sleep with such accuracy that they are of significant benefit in practice. Important things to monitor, such as heart rate variability, are shown not only on a daily basis, but also as a trend, how it has developed over the past few weeks. For me, the meter brought out the stages of sleep concretely and the observation that due to too short a night's sleep, I didn't even get REM sleep before. It's worth checking what it means. Now the situation is different. Of course, the device has a lot of other useful and nice things, nice thing e.g. also that the bank card is now in the watch and you don't have to think about carrying the card with you on long bike or ski runs. According to my experience, GPS accuracy is better than competitors. The maps are very good, also the track maps can be downloaded when moving in new landscapes for yourself. After a few months of use STRONG RECOMMENDATION!

I upgraded to replace a broken FR945 so I knew what to expect. The biggest improvement was the touch screen and better resolution of the screen. What was surprising was that skiing lacked autopause, which was fixed by updating the software to the beta version.

I got back into sports watches after a ten year hiatus and wondered why I didn't do this earlier. Garmin is an absolutely great device for running, training immediately got a new kick.

I have been the owner of the 745 for three years and decide on an update. The 965 has a great AMOLED display and just way more features that the 745. If you can afford the 965 over the 2xx range its worth it.

I wanted to upgrade from a Fenix 6 Pro watch to an AMOLED screen. This watch has a good and clear touchscreen, golf functions and topoactive maps for trail running and navigation. Its features are largely the same as the previous Garmin watch, but now it has a good and clear screen and newer software. Works well. Loading Topoactive maps is a bit problematic and stuttering, but no other problems have been encountered.

The watch is light, versatile and easy to use. In Fr965, I especially like the race calendar, which creates a ready-made workout for that race. The watch has a lot of special functions that take time to find. Fortunately, Garmin's instructions online are clear.

After a good two weeks and seven runs, I can only praise. The battery lasts for two weeks, even though I've been running around a lot and running a lot.
