Still adjusting
I have had a Forerunner 945 for 5-6 years. I grew very accustomed to how it scored things like sleep quality and recovery times. This watch so far doesn't seem to track my sleep nearly as well as the 945. I do love the screen brightness and the loads of data it produces but I am not 100% that I got a better product than I previously had. (For information) I purchased the 965 due to the 945 screen delaminating, otherwise it was still working.

Fantastic watch for all sports
I have had this watch for almost a year and have had 0 issues. It does everything I could ever want, tracking all sports very well and giving a surplus of health insights. I recommend to anyone looking for an advanced do-it-all sport watch.

Battery life, screen and functionality win
Core funtions are strong. Does integrate with spotify although syncing is clunky..need wifi even if your phone is tethered. Live tracking only notifies recipients to email vs. text, but I think this is an iOS thing, blame apple. Default settings use laps which doesn't work for me and takes some configuration but overall works very well with some configuration...if you're and outdoor person beats apple watch all day long

I replaced my Coros with the Forerunner and have been loving it for my marathon training and other athletic activities. For a data nerd the visualizations and data availability are amazing and easy to track. The complex abilities are easy to use and the watch is amazing without them! Most people buy Coros for the battery life but I've found the battery life is amazing on the new Forerunners as well. Lifting tracking has been great to.

Some great features, but complicated
I (think) this watch will be amazing???!! The band is super comfortable and the battery life is AMAZING!!! But, I'm not super tech savvy and it's challenging to figure out some of the features I need. I would love to chat with someone familiar with this specific watch.

The watch’s advanced metrics—like running dynamics and training readiness—have really helped me fine-tune my workouts, making it feel like I have a personal coach on my wrist. And on top of that, the design is sleek and lightweight, so it’s comfortable enough to wear 24/7. It might be on the pricier side, but for an athlete who values detailed performance feedback and reliability, it’s totally worth the investment.

The watch that does it all!
It’s my everyday but also my everything in the middle. There’s a sport mode for just about any activity and the battery lasts forever.

amazing smart watch
Having had multiple Forerunner models this is a big step up from my 945 and a great alternative to my daily Fenix6. I'm still learning all the features and nuances of the new layout, but no regrets in this purchase so far
