Price
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.
Competitiveness
As usual, garmin makes a do-all model.
Bought this for my wife, she likes it as the battery lasts forever compared to apple's one day life.

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

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

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

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
