Garmin has announced two fresh additions to its fittingness - focused smartwatch range , the Forerunner 265 and 965 – and they pack in a particularly middle - catching fresh feature .
Both watch feature burnished always - on AMOLED touchscreen showing , which is a first for the line . In the larger ( 47 mm ) and more premium Garmin 965 that equate to a 1.4 - in 454 x 454 AMOLED .
The Garmin 265 , with its smaller 46 mm or 42 mm pillowcase option , provides a 1.3 - inch 416 x 416 or a 1.1 - inch 360 x 360 AMOLED display respectively .
The 965 – a follow up to theGarmin Forerunner 955 , our favourite watch for serious runners – also features a more premium titanium bezel , while the 265 go with a “ fiber - reinforce polymer ” . That ’s plastic to you and I.
Of course , these are still very much fittingness - focused watches . Both sport a full rooms of sensor , including GPS / GLONASS / Galileo , nub rate monitoring equipment , barometric alimeter , compass , gyroscope , accelerometer , thermometer , and pedigree atomic number 8 saturation varan facilities .
Both also boast a wide of the mark spread of fitness training features , including the likes of Garmin Coach , PacePro , and daily suggested physical exertion .
Garmin has n’t blank out the smartwatch stuff either , with financial backing for notifications , NFC payments through Garmin Pay , and offline euphony playlist so you may leave your phone at abode .
So what ’s different , other than the size and materials used in the flesh ? They ’re moderately similar underneath those decorative differences , but the Garmin 965 does feature real - time stamina tracking , a great compass of outside refreshment profiles , pre - plastered topographical and trail maps , and the ClimbPro ascension deviser . It ’s altogether more outdoorsy .
