(Image credit: Andrew Williams)The Garmin Forerunner 965 is an athlete's dream, whether it comes to design, functionality or performance. This watch has everything a runner or triathlete may ever need or want, from a lightweight design and excellent tracking accuracy to stacks of offline maps and exceptionally reliable multi-band GPS. Plus, it lasts up to a whopping 23 days on a single charge — enough to withstand the demands of multi-day running competitions.
Moreover, it simply looks good. With its bright AMOLED display and sleek, unobtrusive build, the Garmin Forerunner 965 is more akin to an everyday smartwatch than a serious workout tracking tool. You can wear it anywhere and anytime you like, without constantly feeling its presence on your wrist, clashing with your formal clothes, or catching it on exercise equipment.
The best part? The Garmin Forerunner 965 is now the cheapest it has ever been. This deal is not to be missed!
Key features: 1.4-inch AMOLED screen, 5ATM water resistance, up to 23 days of battery life, titanium bezel, GPS, offline maps

Negative remarks were few and far between, and often revolved around the relatively high price of the Garmin Forerunner 965. A few reviewers also complained about the lack of a built-in flashlight.
