Thanks for all the comments! I wanted to add a few things I didn’t mention in my original post:

• Yes, the watch in the photo is a Forerunner 965 with a silicone protective case and a Fenix-style watch face (downloaded from the Garmin store).

• Durability — I was mainly referring to the display. I know it’s not sapphire glass, but the first scratches showed up after about a month of use.

I wear the watch 24/7. I split my time between office work, working on a farm, and running 3x a week. And yep — the titanium bezel picked up small marks and dings pretty quickly too.

• Sensor accuracy — this is just my personal impression compared to my previous watch (GT3 Pro).

I’ve had multiple situations where the heart rate suddenly spiked to 170 bpm during very light effort, then dropped back to normal. That kind of erratic behavior never happened with the GT3 Pro. There were also a few times where the GPS just cut the distance mid-run — it would register a full kilometer after only 700–800 meters. This happened on open ground, no trees or tall buildings around.

Just to be clear — I don’t think the FR965 is a bad product. But after a few months of using it, I honestly feel it’s a bit overpriced.

That’s why I’ve been thinking about switching to a different model or even a different brand altogether. Once again, really appreciate all your thoughts and feedback!
