– Fully supports Physio TrueUp 2.0 (Unified Training Status, albeit now so does Forerunner 955)

– Revamped user interface to sorta-match the Garmin Epix AMOLED units – Added built-in Running Dynamics (e.g., Vertical Ratio, Ground Contact Time, etc…) without any sensor

– Added Chronic Training Load feature (also now available for FR955/Fenix 7 series on Garmin Connect app) – Added new Training Load Ratio feature (coming to FR955/Fenix 7 series shortly) – Switched to USB-C Garmin charging cable (same watch port design as previous) – Added Titanium bezel (previously was plastic) – Lens material is Gorilla Glass 3 (previously was Corning Gorilla Glass DX) – Weight is 53g for FR965 vs 52g for FR955 Solar – Increased detail in maps at higher zoom levels – Display resolution increases from 260x260px to 454x454px – Watch thickness decreases by 1.2mm (from 14.4mm to 13.2mm) – Case size remains the same at 47mm for both FR955 and FR965 – Increased size of display from 1.3” to 1.4” (case size remains the same, as bezel thickness decreases) – Changed to always-on AMOLED display (more vibrant colors/brightness/etc.) In any event, here’s what’s new/different on the Forerunner 965 compared to the Forerunner 955 series: They said that for the meantime that was going to be the case, but longer term they’d probably diverge. In other words, the Forerunner 965 and Forerunner 955 will reach parity within the next quarter, but, when asked whether that would remain the case going forward (in effect having an AMOLED and non-AMOLED version of the same watch), Garmin was less confident.

In fact, even some of the new software features of the Forerunner 965 are already slated to arrive on the Forerunner 955 (and some have somewhat accidentally already arrived in the past few weeks via Garmin Connect online).

In most ways, the Forerunner 965 is essentially an AMOLED display version of the Garmin Forerunner 955 (released just 9 months ago). If you found this review useful, you can use the links at the bottom, or consider becoming a DCR Supporter which makes the site ad-free, while also getting access to a mostly weekly video series behind the scenes of the DCR Cave. Once this unit goes back, I’ll go out and buy my own for any future testing needs. As usual, this review is not sponsored (nor does any company get to preview anything I review), and I don’t take any advertiser money from any companies I review. Garmin sent over media loaners to test out. All in the pursuit of seeing how well these watches actually work for both daily endurance sports training and day-to-day usage.

Sure, it’s still using the same tried and trueish Garmin charging connector on the watch side, but at least the box now includes the USB-C variant of it.Īs usual, I’ve been putting the Forerunner 965 (and Forerunner 265) through their paces – with swims, runs, rides – all indoors and outdoors, and then daily 24×7 usage as well. And the best new feature? Perhaps just the new Garmin USB-C charging cable. These metrics essentially compare your recent training load to your longer-term training load. In addition to the display, the new Forerunner 965 adds wrist-based native running dynamics (plus the wrist-based running power recently introduced on the Forerunner 955), as well as new training load metrics around Chronic Training Load and Training Load Ratio. Of course, the key difference between what Garmin does here and what other companies have done with AMOLED displays comes down to battery life – with Garmin’s variants typically lasting orders of magnitude longer than most. This nearly completes Garmin’s equipping of different watch lineups with fancier AMOLED displays, as last year we saw them introduce the Epix series (a Fenix 7 variant), and the year prior the Venu 2 series (a more mass market watch).

Garmin has just announced two new watches – the Forerunner 965 (this review), and the Forerunner 265/265S ( full review here!), both multisport watches and both equipped with swanky AMOLED displays.
