    Started running a few months after turning 39, just turned 42 this month couldn’t run a mile when I started now I run 4 days a week 5k most days and 10k 3-4 times a month. Had a hard time getting my miles up until I start following a lot of the advice from your channel over the past year. Thanks keep up the great work!!

    Old (71) very experienced runner (first marathon in 1969) here. I currently run with the Forerunner 25. I am thinking about upgrading to the Forerunner 55 mainly for the better battery life.

    • @elad_sefarad
      @elad_sefarad 8 месяцев назад +14

      @scriptosaurusrex 8 месяцев назад +3

      Get the pace 3 from coros. It's much nicer to use than anything from garmin and the battery life is amazing.

    So I have picked up running as a hobby last year.. I started with 5kms without any training & now I completed my 3 half marathons recently. I am not part of any runners group or any training program. I just watch running videos on RUclips & feel inspired to push myself further. I have signed up for my first full marathon in January 2024(Tata Mumbai Marathon) & I plan to prepare for it. I believe any of the forerunner series will be a good fit for me to start with tracking my overall progress.. I am 28 & my ultimate goal is to be fit throughout my life so that I can experience more adventures in life.
    Cheers to all the runners here 👏

  • @Jow2K
    @Jow2K 8 месяцев назад +15

    I got my first Garmin watch earlier this year, the Forerunner 55. A definite upgrade on my Fitbit! And a game changer for my running. Also had the turquoise colour which I’ve received many compliments about 😊

  • @francorivera3824
    @francorivera3824 8 месяцев назад +20

    As a new runner (21) that has gotten into a hybrid athlete split, I think that the forerunner 55 or the venu 3 or the vivo active 5 has more than enough features to elevate both my gym and body building workouts and run training. Not only will it help me make wise recovery decisions, but also help me plan workouts well.

  • @jenniferburn3338
    @jenniferburn3338 8 месяцев назад +7

    I started running in my mind 50's and have used Garmin watches for every step of my journey, gradually upgrading as I got more experienced. I've currently got a 265 which is brilliant. The coaching suggestions and in app coaching has improved my running over the past year. I'm going to tackle my first Ultra next year so an upgrade to the Fenix 7 pro or Enduro would be a real confidence boost.

    Robin here (from Belgium)... I started running about 2 years ago and have now signed up for my first ever marathon (Leiden 2024). Sinds starting, I've taken on lots of advice from you guys at the Running Channel - so thanks for that! I'm currently using the Garmin Forerunner 955 to track my runs and gym workouts and have never regretted investing in this watch. Thank you once again for all your advice and tips&tricks regarding running🏃

  • @smolsoftkitten
    @smolsoftkitten 8 месяцев назад +37

    i’m addicted to these types of videos i spend hours and hours researching what i should buy and sometimes dont even buy what i wanted. but the Forerunner 965 has me checking prices constantly for the last 4 months, seems like an amazing value just out of my budget :(

    • @moreybrown870
      @moreybrown870 8 месяцев назад +7

    • @heth91

      955 for me, I dont care about the display but the 965 is obviously does look way better as a watch itself 👍

  • @movdqa
    @movdqa 8 месяцев назад +6

    Nice job explaining the Garmin product lines. I'd describe Garmin GPS watch offerings as sprawling. They have a huge choice in GPS watches, sizes, bands and features and I can imagine a new customer being quite confused about which they should get. I have a Fenix 5+ and I'd like to upgrade to the 7 Pro for the flashlight. It's kind of a stupid reason to spend $700 but hey, there's a sale this week.

  • @ashvael
    @ashvael 8 месяцев назад +4

    I've been using the 245 for a few years at this point and it has served me well in improving my pace/running fitness. I'd love to upgrade to the newer versions with the 265 or 965 even to step up my triathlon training.

    @RyukZen08 8 месяцев назад +20

    As a new runner I never knew how amazing today's fitness watches are, I'm really interested in the forerunner 965 as I really enjoy the data you can get from running. The idea of having a wholistic view on how hard you should push yourself on your run is also really interesting to me

    Started running in about April this year and had no intention of doing anything longer than 21km.Only started for the fitness snd health benefits of being active....sooo long story short I'm considerimg doing my first ever marathon on the 2nd of December 😁
    Wish me luck
    Great video couldn't quite decide on what watch i maybe need in my life before rhis video. Using a Polar 430 that dies at about 29km in. Would love the Venu 3 for Cross training also.

    • @dliedke
      @dliedke 3 месяца назад

      Good luck! 21k is healthier but 42k is more fun and addictive. I wish you all the best and enjoy the suffering, it is much harder than it seems!

  • @neilsainty2964
    @neilsainty2964 8 месяцев назад +1

    I love my Venu 2plus which has helped get me back running regularly this year but I would love to upgrade to a Forerunner 965 for those advanced stats, mapping and suggested workouts! Love the RC content as always, keep knocking it out of the park guys!

  • @andrewhigh41
    @andrewhigh41 8 месяцев назад +1

    Great work Andy, this really helps lay out the differences and shows what sort of runner each of these is catered towards. As a Forerunner 35 user, I'm considering upgrading to take my running training up a level. After watching this, I feel like the Forerunner 265 would be the one for me. Would love to have my music on my watch so I don't have to take my phone with me and I love the AMOLED screen!

  • @jfreed91
    @jfreed91 8 месяцев назад +5

    As a new runner, all of these options were slightly overwhelming, but it's so cool learning about all the technology out there for runners (and athletes of all kinds!) As someone who gets lost just trying to navigate the trails of a park that's only about 2 sq. miles, any watch with GPS navigation sounds like a dream! Will definitely check out that video that covers all of the Garmin watch specs to learn more about the Forerunner series options!

  • @illya119
    @illya119 8 месяцев назад +11

    I would definitely go for the forerunner 265. I think with a super accurate GPS, and features like Training Readiness, it's a watch that will both help track runs really well but also help me make better workout decisions.

    • @brentjohnson6654
      @brentjohnson6654 2 месяца назад +1

      The 265 is what I am considering. I currently have an Apple Watch that has to be charged up every day.

    @sw4678 8 месяцев назад

    Love The Running Channel! I'm definitely a beginner runner who does it to challenge myself without the expectation of ever being "the best" at it. I'd love a Garmin I can grow into, and I think the Forerunner 255 would be more than enough for my needs! Having access to features like sleep tracking and body battery would be invaluable! Thank you all for everything you do!

  • @timlicence94
    @timlicence94 8 месяцев назад

    Andy, great roundup, thanks for all the info and generally for the running channel! I started running in lockdown at the age of 48, now at 51 I'm taking on my first half Marathon in January and I have the Running Channel to thank for getting me out there in the first place, giving me loads of advice along the way and for keeping me motivated. I picked up a used Forerunner 735XT which does the job, but I love the look and features of the 965 as I think the training insights and guidance would really help me push on to the next level. Thanks to the whole team!

  • @iggalan
    @iggalan 8 месяцев назад +6

    Fénix 7 user here. It’s incredibly useful not only for running, I also use it on my bikes as a head unit mounting it on the handlebars, swim, skiing, everything. As a triathlete doing races where navigation is sometimes needed, it saves me from having to buy a separate GPS only for the bike. Also for trail running, you have a clear map so you never get lost.

  • @chocofreakish
    @chocofreakish 8 месяцев назад +2

    About 6 months ago I started running, after always having said that running was nothing for me. It is by far the most accessible way of working out and I'm really happy I started. At the beginning I got a second hand Vivoactive 4, but now that I've seen the light I would really like to make a big upgrade to the forerunner 965. Maybe I'll even sign up for a marathon!
    Also: the running channel has really helped me to get motivated to get this far and I'm really grateful for it, thanks everyone!

    I’d love to get my hands on the Forerunner 965 to help track my training.

  • @phillrobinson704
    @phillrobinson704 8 месяцев назад +4

    Been using the forerunner 55 for the last 3 years and would agree it's perfect for someone beginning their running journey.. looking to upgrade now so thanks for this comprehensive overview of all the options.. would love the Fenix 7 pro

  • @tnan123
    @tnan123 8 месяцев назад +3

    I would definitely go for the 965 or Epix pro just to experience the amoled screens. I've really been eyeing something with navigation and maps when I go on trail runs or newer areas around me. Love that Garmin has so many options!

  • @alfonsoevalenzuela

    Forerunner 965. Did my first half marathon this year with my partner and loved it! Having a watch would be so helpful to train for another one next year

  • @juliannes3617
    @juliannes3617 8 месяцев назад +4

    I am a 23 year old girl who just graduated college. I was a division 1 rower and collegiate soccer player, so after graduating, I decided to get into running to keep up my fitness. It’s been a great hobby and I also get to run with my dad which has been great for bonding! We have done a couple half’s and have our first full marathon in February. I have only had an Apple Watch 5 and want to increase my fitness and running, so I think the Forerunner 925 would be great! Especially for the battery longevity and multi sport as I also want to get into triathlons. I have a smaller wrist so I think the 965 would be too big but that would be my top choice.

  • @stephenmorris1989
    @stephenmorris1989 7 месяцев назад +1

    Thanks Andy, that's a great breakdown of the different watches. I've been a fan of Garmin for decades and currently have a Fenix 6 because of the open water swimming tracking I used during triathlon training. There are some super cool new features I would love to get my hands on and would love a standard sized epix Pro [Gen 2] Sapphire. Talk about next level 😮. Well done on the marathon this year. I'm signed up for Berlin in 2024, so I've been watching all the running channel marathon related videos. Keep up the great work.

  • @Charette166
    @Charette166 8 месяцев назад +2

    Great video, Andy! I’ve been looking at the fenix 7 pro. I’ve used the original instinct since its release(it is seriously durable), but it would be great to see the run-specific data for my half marathon training.

  • @jobrookes534
    @jobrookes534 8 месяцев назад

    I switched from Fitbit to the Forerunner 55 at the beginning of the year, and absolutely no regrets, I'm currently using the garmin coach to help train for a half marathon.
    I would love to upgrade to the Forerunner 255s with music. Not taking my phone would be amazing!!
    Great video Andy!!

  • @madmonk2008
    @madmonk2008 8 месяцев назад

    Just started running, and I didn't realise how much was involved in it from specialist running shoes to watches. I have to admit the Forerunner 965 looks brilliant with all the extra fixtures like the suggested workout features that will help towards my running goals, just will have to ask Santa for it. 🙂Cant wait for the next video The Running Channel release and keep up the good work.

  • @tonyfennell7827

    New runner here at 41 years old, just started running a couple of months a go and caught the bug. Binge watching this channel certainly has given me more then enough information to get me hooked and give me good running knowledge. Haven't got a watch yet, and never had one, so iv'e started out running without worrying to much about all the data - although 2 months into my journey already and I think a Fenix 7 pro would certainly get me up to speed in hitting 5K at correct pace without me coming up short all the time at 4.8K because mentally I think I have finished hahaha. Love the channel and love running! Enjoy everyone.

  • @karolina.321
    @karolina.321 8 месяцев назад

    Thanks for the informative video. I have always wanted a gps watch but get so overwhelmed with the options. I have been running with my phone, but I'm in Canada and the cold weather kills battery power, and has failed me on several runs. A Forerunner 255S would be my dream phone.
    I really loved seeing Toms journey, I replay his video whenever I feel uninspired to gear up and it gives me the boost I need. Thank you for being so vulnerable and letting us in on your journey Tom! When I'm feeling good I cruise to Andys videos and imagine myself looking as effortless as he does 😊💛

  • @WayneOgborne
    @WayneOgborne 8 месяцев назад

    Thank you Andy, you explained the different models in a very concise and easy to understand way. I recently purchased the 955, using it has improved my fitness and has taken me from no running to 6km in 3 weeks. Age 65.

  • @scemat
    @scemat 8 месяцев назад +1

    Great comparison, Andy! I've been considering the Fenix 7 Pro SS , unsure whether I'd go for the 7s or the main model. I have an older Fenix which I'm quite happy with, but the longer battery life for long hikes and the custom run recommendations using race target times make me consider the upgrade!

  • @niekvelthausz1326
    @niekvelthausz1326 8 месяцев назад

    Started running this summer with a 4 mile race in mind, which went great and it got me so hooked that I'll be running my first marathon next year in Copenhagen. With my 30-40km weekly mileage, something like the Garmin Forerunner 265 or 255 seems ideal to get me ready, help me plan my training and resting and prevent serious injuries!

  • @friendmeg
    @friendmeg 8 месяцев назад +1

    Love the whole Garmin line up! The Epix pro gen 2 42mm is my dream do it all watch. I tried the last version but it only came in one size at the time. Glad they came out with a smaller version this time.

  • @blackf15h
    @blackf15h 8 месяцев назад +1

    As someone who hugely enjoys using my runs as a way to explore new places I’ve never seen anything like the “suggest a route” feature of the 965 - absolute game changer. It’s great that you can input how long you want your run to be as well.

  • @LauE994
    @LauE994 8 месяцев назад

    Thank you for this - super helpful! I have a Venu (1st series) and it’s been a great introduction into a sports watch, I’m now looking to upgrade to a more running specific watch and I think the forerunner 255s seems perfect for me, but I would also love a fenix if given the chance! Whilst it wasn’t mentioned today I definitely appreciated the previous short I think Sarah did explaining some of the Garmin Safety features. As a female runner they have given me extra confidence and comfort to get out especially in dark winter runs - so thanks all! 🙌

  • @lucycrossland8977

    I thoroughly enjoyed this video, it was a quick and easy to follow guide that was really helpful. I'm fairly new to running as well, about 4 months now, but I absolutely love this community! The forerunner 265 looks like an exceptional watch (anything from Garmin is, really) that would really motivate me to completing my first half marathon.

  • @JoseFPVNavarro
    @JoseFPVNavarro 8 месяцев назад

    Thank you Andy for the thorough explanation of the features they offer! All of them are so nice! The forerunner 265 is soooo beautiful! It would be such a big motivator to head out there and run! Keep on rocking!!

  • @adamcampbell-smith5488
    @adamcampbell-smith5488 8 месяцев назад

    This is a great video to drop the day before Black Friday. With so much technical data on all the watches it's easy to get a bit blinded, this cuts right through it all. I've been debating updating my Forerunner 55 to a 965 for the mapping feature. Traveling for work I often find myself constantly checking my phone for my running route. This confirms I'm in the 955/965 camp, just debating how much I need the pretty screen of the 965.

  • @mansfielddave
    @mansfielddave 8 месяцев назад

    Great explanation on all the devices and saves me reading through all the website data. Impressive to see the development in such a short time. Currently running with a 245 and would love to upgrade to the 965

  • @austriangeorge5609
    @austriangeorge5609 8 месяцев назад

    Great video! I have been using my Forerunner 745 for 2 yrs now and I must say it does almost everything I need. Sometimes I wish I had bought the 955 or Fenix series for those added Navigation feature when I'm out on a hike. The raceday widget also seems very appealing but that alone doesn't justify upgrading my watch at the moment.

  • @natedog64a1
    @natedog64a1 8 месяцев назад +1

    Great video. Apple Watch works for me but I’m generally pretty envious of all the advanced features that Garmin offers for runners to stay on track. I’m training to get a PB in the 1/2 Marathon despite just turning 52.
    Love the Fenix 7 (47mm) with all its advanced options and sleek watch design.
    Thanks for sharing all the different options as it can get quite confusing at times to know which one to think about

  • @victorericsson3827
    @victorericsson3827 8 месяцев назад +1

    After I have been running for a while whit the old vivoactive3, and tested out the fenix 7, I have started to eye the forerunner965. Got to love that screen, and whit all the metrics, maps, and aids, I am sure it will help me to complete my first ever marathon this summer🙌🏻💪🏻

  • @WestNottsRunner
    @WestNottsRunner 8 месяцев назад

    Andy thanks very much for the video. I have to say that's the most informative comparison video I've ever seen and it's much listening and seeing them than just reading pages and pages of features.
    I started running again during lockdown and haven't stopped since. I've currently got a Forerunner 245 music so I'm a few generations behind. The Bluetooth went wrong with it and music stopped working but Garmin were good enough to send out a replacement and no issues since.
    I'm getting into trail running more and more and the breadcrumb course maps aren't really cutting it any more with me getting lost quite a few times. I've been looking at either the Forerunner 265 or 965 for the much better maps but hadn't been able to choose up until now. With your information I've now swayed to the 965 as the course planning on watch will make things much easier when I'm travelling with work. Hopefully I'm lucky enough to be chosen as the winner but if not I'll have to add it to my Santa list and hope I've been a very very good boy. Keep up the good work l.

    @Running_for_His_glory 8 месяцев назад

    Thanks Andy for the video, it reignited my wish to upgrade from my FR245 to FR965. The FR245 has been a motivation to start running again during Covid and now aiming to run a full marathon in 2025. All the best for Valencia!

  • @chriswhittington6445
    @chriswhittington6445 8 месяцев назад

    Brilliant rundown, thanks Andy and TRC. I've been using the FR245 music for 4 years now and have found it to be great. I think given the choice I'd have to stick with the Forerunner series but upgrade to the 965 - it looks great with the AMOLED screen. Good luck in Valencia!

    I currently have the venu sq, and although it is good for most things, there are definitely improvements that could be made for me.
    I was looking at the vivoactive 5 just because it's similar in what it offers, but after seeing the others I'm not sure 🙃 probably the forerunner 255. Gotta love those buttons

    The Garmin Fenix 7S has caught my eye, and this video made me think it's the one I should start with. I'm planning to get deeper into longer distance trail running over the next year, and so far I've managed with my Whoop, Strava on my phone, and nothing else. It's time to level up and combine everything into one gadget! What a wonderfully informative video (as always).

    Thank you for the super helpful and informative video! I’ve absolutely adored my Forerunner 55, it’s really helped me in my training! I am working toward my first marathon and would love to upgrade to the premium screen/added metrics of the Forerunner 965.

    Thanks for this video. Currently looking to change my watch as have the Fenix 6S and had it for almost 4 years now. I was looking at the 7S as I've really enjoyed wearing the Fenix and wear it all day every day!!!! But now I've seen the Forerunner 965 I love the look of it, the features and the amazing screen.

    I was just looking at the Garmin website last week trying to figure all of this out. I am looking to upgrade my 245 that I got in March of 2020. Thanks for reading my mind and putting out this video!

    I've been looking to buy my first Garmin watch but found all of the information a bit overwhelming. This video popped up at just the right time, this was super comprehensive and helpful, thank you so much! I think I'm going to go for the Forerunner 265s 🙂

    Really useful summary overview of the whole range. Thank you Andy! I have a Fenix5x but think the Forerunner 965 looks amazing. Currently training for a half marathon using Garmin coach. Would be great to have more hill stats and round trip routing.

    Great video, Andy. I am a late starter at 65 years old and have used a refurbished Garmin 35 to help me train for everything from 5k to marathon I''d love to understand more about suggested workouts, recovery, sleep etc. to keep well and injury free. Currently working on low heart rate training before starting London Marathon plan and a Forerunner 255 would give me the boost I need to get out in the dark and cold months to come 😊

    I’ve realised I really want a watch that does it all, you never know what features you’ll need. And obviously you can never, ever have too much battery time!

    Great video with very useful insights. I'm running now for 9 months and run a half marathon under 1u50. Next up is training for my first marathon just like you and hope a new watch will help me achieve my goal. I have an old 245 and I'm interested in a Forerunner 965 or the Epix not sure which would be the best for me.

  • @matthewsanders6472
    @matthewsanders6472 8 месяцев назад

    I got a Forerunner 45 a year after I started my running journey. Now three years later thinking of upgrading, would like to stay with a forerunner, but there is a lot to pick from. I run 3 or 4 times a week, love the Garmin coach app. I will do a little bit of powerlifting 2 or 3 times a week, but my main focus is running where currently I want to bring down my 5KM PB. Thank you for the video.

  • @Erozen
    @Erozen 8 месяцев назад

    Great video! Crazy how an hour after I started my "Maybe I should switch to a Garmin watch" journey you released this breakdown! Seems like destiny to me. Keep up the good work! Thinking the Epix pro 2 might be the best option for my gym/disc golf activities.

  • @Stephen_K
    @Stephen_K 8 месяцев назад

    I've had my eye on the Enduro 2 for sometime and this seems like an ideal time to say it out loud (or at least in this comment). Thank you for the Video Andy, your knowledge of the range of watches is amazing, or the researcher/script writers is :) Lastly it was great to meet you all a few weeks ago, running 10K - The Ultra went okay the week after, even though I didn't quite get as far as I'd hoped.

    Enjoy following your journey to the marathon! Ive finished a 14 week program for the halfmarathon, and just ended the first week of my 18 week program for the marathon. A Forerunner 965 would go great with the rest of the program! All the best on your progress

    It been a year now since I have taken running seriously and I must say Garmin has really helped me achieve my running goals and not to mention The Running Channel is phenomenal in helping amateur runners like me with all your informative and inspiring content. Amongst all Forerunner 965 is my favourite..

    Started running earlier this year after binge watching all the videos on your channel, now I usually either listen to the pod cast every saturday while walking to our local park run (yep its walking distance from my house how lucky) or as of recent while shacked up with a sprained ankle ... Loving the info I get from my 245 and its features but really missing the mapping ability and keep forgetting to download my routes from the planner when I go away :S

  • @alexberger1325
    @alexberger1325 8 месяцев назад

    I ran my first ever marathon a few months ago and I’m really happy that I got threw it without any problem. I’m rocking a garmin forerunner 45 but looking to upgrade to a bigger one, preferably to one whit navigation. Therefore The 965 would be my watch of choice.

  • @terrenaguthrie4747

    @caitlynmadden8501 8 месяцев назад

  • @RamrodSmothers
    @RamrodSmothers 8 месяцев назад

    Great video, with so many options it can be overwhelming researching Garmin’s offerings. I’m a long distance hiker that just picked up trail and road running. The Enduro 2 would be a huge upgrade from my Fenix 6 for navigating multi-day hikes without needing a charge.

  • @michaelmarx4405
    @michaelmarx4405 8 месяцев назад

    Thanks for the great review! The Garmin forerunner 965 would be my pick.
    After 2 years of battling with stupid Long-Covid. I have started a start 2 run schedule in September. I’m in week 10 from 13 weeks. It feels good to be back and win back some lung capacity! Today was my 2nd 30 minute run.
    Thanks for the great video’s and great advice.

  • @StitchEm
    @StitchEm 8 месяцев назад

    I have had a forerunner 245 for my first few years of running. Im contemplating the plunge to a fenix 7s as I have lots of trail ultras coming up. The extra features such as maps will be really very useful.

  • @tobin1677
    @tobin1677 8 месяцев назад

    Always good to see the new lineups, I picked up a 245 a couple years ago, as that was (and still is) all I could afford to go for. If I had the money I would probably upgrade to a forerunner 955, so that gets my vote. The 965 screen looks nice, but as a teacher at elementary schools I imagine the kids would want to mess with it too much if it looked that nice.

  • @LiaHiggins984

  • @Joep00
    @Joep00 8 месяцев назад

    Quite new to the channel but not to running:). This video was super well timed for me since I've been looking into a Garmin running/smartwatch the last couple of weeks. My eyes have been on the Forerunner 965 since I'm going to start training for my first marathon after I've recovered from a concussion. Speaking of which, the watch would be a great companion for my recovery too!
    Thanks for the video Andy. Straightforward and super informative. Cheers from the Netherlands!

    I started to pick up running since the start of the year, and ran my first Spartan half-marathon in April.
    My 4 year old Fitbit randomly stops tracking during training, so have been considering the 265 for a while now, as I keep improving my half-marathon and 10K speed!

    I currently wear a fenix 6, it's been brilliant! Love the range of metrics and battery life. With more ultra events on my horizon for 2024 a fenix 7 would be a nice upgrade. Though the impressive battery life of the epix pro is pretty tempting too!
    Love these tech info vid's, cheers!

    I stumbled onto this channel when researching the differences between the 255 and 265 and have stuck around. I think I've decided on the 265 (specifically that teal/blue one that was shown) finally and just need to start saving for it. The map on the 965 was amazing though and if it wouldn't take me forever to save for that I would get that one. So many options are great to have but makes choosing more difficult! Lovely video explaining some of the differences, thank you.

    I have been running now for just over a year and absolutely love the freedom of getting out there. I currently have the Forerunner 255s Music in white which is great but definitely want to up my tech to the Forerunner 965 in white! Looking forward to my Marathon in May and more adventures with the help of the Running Channel :)
