Garmin has added two new entries to its lineup with the Forerunner 965 and Forerunner 265, both of which feature beautiful AMOLED displays.
For the longest time, Garmin has produced fitness watches that use a Chroma display that features Memory in Pixel (MIP) screen technology, making it one of the best smartwatches around, giving its product a distinct edge over its competitors when it comes to battery life. But, slowly, the company has begun to introduce AMOLED screens into its watches, in an effort to give users the best of both worlds – great battery life and a vibrant color display. Now, the company has announced two new GPS fitness watches, the Forerunner 965 and Forerunner 265.
The Forerunner 965 and Forerunner 265 are part of Garmin’s line of fitness trackers for runners. While the new AMOLED display is the main feature here when compared to previous models, the watch also gets small improvements here and there when it comes to software. Garmin has packed a bit here, offering users daily morning reports, a race widget, suggested exercises, vital metrics tracking, and more. In terms of construction, the majority of the body is made of plastic, while the frame around the display is made of metal and the Forerunner 965 uses titanium.
Of course, you can expect Garmin to offer amazing, powerful health and training software like Firstbeat Analytics, Coach, Connect, and PacePro. The watches will also feature advanced GPS tracking, giving users a detailed look at their running path, regardless of the environment. While focusing primarily on health and performance, the watch also offers notifications from smartphones, music downloads from services like Amazon Music, Spotify, and Deezer, and contactless mobile payments with Garmin Pay.
The Forerunner 265 will come in two sizes, 40mm and 44mm, and offers approximately two weeks of battery in smartwatch mode on a single charge. The Forerunner 965 will only come in one size, 47mm, and last just over three weeks in smartwatch mode. As far as price goes, the Forerunner 265 costs $449.99, while the Forerunner 965 will cost $599.99. Both devices are available for sale directly through Garmin and will be available to other retailers in the near future.
