With the return of good weather, runners have more than ever a good excuse to put on running shoes and spend an hour or two. For the most diligent, faithful to half-marathons and full marathons, Garmin’s Forerunner connected watches are ideal and the Forerunner 965, which is one of the most recent models, sees its price drop from 649.99 euros to 560.88 euros at Rakuten thanks to the summer sales.
With the return of the sun and mild temperatures, there is no better time to go for an early morning run. Moreover, for Sunday runners or those with a confirmed level, the manufacturer Garmin has dedicated one of its connected watch ranges, that of the Forerunner. One of the latest models, the Forerunner 965, still benefits from excellent sports tracking and introduces a new OLED screen. During the summer sales, this recent smartwatch Garmin’s premium version loses 90 euros on its starting price at Rakuten.

Garmin Forerunner 965 at the best price
The first Forerunner with an OLED display
Those who know the Garmin Fenix remember this heavy and imposing design, but that of the Forerunner watches has nothing to do with that. The Forerunner 965 is thinner, therefore more discreet, and even affords the luxury of elegance. In addition, this range introduces for the first time an OLED touch screen (454 × 454 pixels) which has its advantages, but also its drawbacks. OLED is more visually pleasing thanks to richer colors and resolution, but compared to a transflective MIP display, it is less readable in direct sunlight and more energy intensive.
Speaking of energy consumption, Garmin announces an autonomy of up to 23 days in classic connected watch mode and 31 hours in GPS mode alone. This is on the one hand an excellent score, but above all it is greater autonomy than that of the Forerunner 955 equipped with a transflective MIP screen. This is confirmed in our test where the Forerunner 965 lasted 7 days with theAlways-OnSp02 tracking and a few hours of jogging with multi-band GNSS, compared to 6 days and 10 hours for the Forerunner 955.
Sports monitoring made in Garmin always at the top!
The Garmin Forerunner 965 obviously has a nice assortment of sensors to provide ultra-precise data for sports monitoring, we have here an accelerometer, a pulse oximeter, a gyroscope, a thermometer, a barometric altimeter, without forgetting the famous heart rate monitor. For the latter, it is the same model as that of the Forerunner 955 and it is of effective precision. The same goes for the GPS compatible with multi-GNSS and multi-band L1+L5, Garmin is a master craftsman in this field.
In addition to heart rate measurement and geolocation, the Garmin Forerunner 965 is packed with training features such as Body Battery, which indicates the level of energy lost throughout the day. The Garmin Coach is always there to offer personalized training sessions based on measured performance, as is VO2Max or PacePro, which indicates the pace to maintain in real time. Finally, trail, trekking and hiking enthusiasts can also rely on the integrated mapping.
