The yet-to-be-released Garmin Forerunner 965 smartwatch could be one of the best premium offerings by the brand. It sports a big AMOLED screen but it is also speculated that its name is yet to be official. The smartwatch was listed by a Vietnamese retailer briefly, possibly inadvertently. Garmin continues to gross sales in its array of smartwatches and is rivaling industry leaders Apple and Samsung.
The alleged naming of the smartwatch follows the Garmin Forerunner 955 released in 2022. The new smartwatch sports a bigger AMOLED screen than its predecessor. It has a higher display resolution of 416 x 416 pixels than the Forerunner 955. As per the leaked specs, the Forerunner 965 will also have a 1.4-inch display like its predecessor. The new Garmin smartwatch will have a lower battery capacity than the Forerunner 955.
While the earlier model had a 15-day battery life on smartwatch mode, the new model extends that to 23 days. However, with GPS activated, the Forerunner 965 has a shorter battery life of 31 hours compared to the Forerunner 955’s 42 hours.
The optics of the Garmin Forerunner 965 includes an array of sensors for health and fitness monitoring. Its pricing information is lacking at this time but it could square off nicely with the Galaxy Watch and Apple Watch.
The Forerunner 965 smartwatch is being propped as one of the best smartwatches of 2023. It sports a durable titanium frame for enhanced ruggedness and could also include a flashy yellow color variant.
