Garmin has upgraded to vibrant AMOLED displays for its new Forerunner 265 and Forerunner 965 smartwatches.
Light, bright and made for any distance, Forerunner 265 and Forerunner 965 feature optional always-on, full-color displays that are easy to read no matter the weather conditions, while a responsive touchscreen complements the traditional 5-button design, allowing for fast access to everyday health features, smart notifications and more.
Forerunner 965 also includes a titanium bezel that makes a statement while still being light on the wrist.
Plus, advanced training metrics and recovery insights will help an athlete prepare for their next big race – all without sacrificing battery life; Forerunner 265 gets up to 15 days of battery life in smartwatch mode, while Forerunner 965 offers up to 23 days.
Dan Bartel, Garmin’s VP of Global Consumer Sales: “For 20 years, the Forerunner lineup has helped athletes of all levels reach their goals, and we are thrilled to continue to bring revolutionary advancements to our newest GPS running smartwatches with the addition of bright AMOLED displays.
“With Garmin’s premium training metrics, recovery insights, impressive battery life and more, athletes can run – and rest – easy knowing they have the tools to perform their best.”
