The Forerunner 965 delivers nearly every premium Garmin feature — including a 1.4" AMOLED screen, topographical maps, and advanced training metrics — at $499, undercutting the Fenix by $700. Reddit users consistently call it the best value for athletes who want it all.
The 965 is the Fenix for people who don't want to spend Fenix money. You get maps, AMOLED, and full training features — the only thing you're really giving up is the rugged case and dive computer.
“I keep recommending the Forerunner 965 if you want ALL the best features and its on sale for $499 now. Its the same 1.4" 454x454 AMOLED screen”
