However, this model was on-sale about a month ago so i bought it.


I know it’s not a cheap watch but i believe it’s worth its value.

    I even gifted my boyfriend the solar instinct last year because i didn’t want him to get an apple watch but garmin instead 😆


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    To be honest i waited and waited to buy a new garmin watch because i knew that whenever i did i would be simultaneously retiring my previous watch and i wasn’t emotionally ready for that


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The battery last 1518 days for me


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Text messages from an iphone are not seemlesss like the apple watch but most other features you would expect from a smart watch are there


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    For context i moved from using a forerunner 735 for running and the lily for daily activity tracking to just using the forerunner 965 for both


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    My 735 was a few years old and had some expected battery degradation and no longer was sufficient as i got into ultra running


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    And i only need to charge every 10ish days or so


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I havent run an ultra in it yet but have one coming up so ill update if anything noteworthy happens there
