  • PositiveGood battery life
  • PositiveHeart rate measurement accurate
  • NegativeNot very smart

The manufacturer describes the Forerunner 965 as a triathlon watch. It therefore offers various modes and features. The heart rate measurement is accurate. Unfortunately, it is not very smart and the sleep analysis is somewhat inaccurate. However, with over seven days of battery life and good data protection, it is still impressive.
