The yet-to-be-released Garmin Forerunner 965 smartwatch could be one of the best premium offerings by the brand.

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.
