Garmin Forerunner 265 smartwatch also features over 30 sport profiles and a specialized triathlon mode to go beyond the usual workout.

Garmin Forerunner 965 is designed for marathon and triathlon enthusiasts who will benefit from features such as Wrist-Based Running Dynamics, which allows users to access detailed metrics such as stride length and vertical oscillation.

Unique to the Forerunner 965 and Forerunner 265, the watches come equipped with the Stamina and Acute Chronic Workload Ration features to track and help users manage their physical exertion throughout a run. This will prevent "bonking" by overexerting too early in a run for a smarter and less strenuous training.
