- Опубликовано: 1 мар 2023
- Ever heard of a raddle adventure? Neither had we! Turns out they are pretty fun. It's a multisport adventure that consists of a Run, a Paddle and a Gravel bike ride to finish. It's a tricky route to follow which made it the perfect test for the new Garmin Forerunner 965. The new FR965 supposedly has all the tech built into the watch to make light work of a day out like this... but let's see how it really holds up against a RADDLE!
Exclusive to Wiggle here www.wiggle.co.uk/garmin-forer...
Want to get your hands on a brand new Garmin Forerunner 965 or Forerunner 265? We've got three devices to give away to three lucky winners...We put the Garmin FR965 to the test on a multi-sport adventure on the Isle of Wight.The route was in the shape of a W (for Wiggle obviously) and we want you to get out and have your own W adventure. Go and make a W shaped route tracked on your sports watch (or phone) and submit it here blog.wiggle.co.uk/win-garmin-.... It can be any activity: run, bike, hike, swim, SUP... ANYTHING! But the more adventurous the route the better. We will pick our 3 favourite entries on the 2nd April 2023 to each win a new Garmin Forerunner.
At first glance, the Garmin Forerunner 965 GPS Sports Watch is a beautiful bit of kit. Created with a crisp and detailed 1.4" AMOLED touchscreen display in full colour - ideal when using multi-band GPS and the built-in maps to check you are still on the right track. The lightweight titanium bezel and dual-colour bands ooze quality while the touchscreen and traditional button controls allow you to quickly tap into your training status and make sure you are training productively.
There's no better way to start the day than sitting down with a coffee and checking over your morning report. The training readiness feature gives an overview of your sleep, recovery and training outlook alongside HRV status, training readiness and weather so you can plan the day ahead. And the race widget and daily suggested workouts recommend activity-based training that adapts to your performance and recovery.
Boasting an impressive 23 days of battery life in smartwatch mode and up to 31 hours in GPS mode, the Forerunner 965 will be right there with you, every step of the way. Running through the mud and rain, cycling up that steep incline or out perfecting your stroke in the open water. Multi-band GNSS with SatIQ™ technology provide reassuring accuracy in challenging environments while safety and tracking features with incident detection keep you safe.
With the Garmin Connect™ app, you'll have access to all your health and fitness information and be able to connect and compete with your friends, join challenges and earn badges. Garmin Pay™ provides on-the-go payments so you can leave your cash and cards at home while 32GB of internal memory means you can download your favourite music and create a motivating playlist to help you push through and crush your goals.

wow wow wow , amaizing video!!! abrazo desde México!!
These new models look amazing. Makes me glad I held off buying something earlier! Thanks for the real life usage report!
The new screens and mapping are pretty awesome! Glad it was somewhat useful 🙏
After watching several techy reviews, it was nice just to see you using the release as an excuse to have fun 😀
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@wiggle Thanks I did 🙂 I went hiking with a few friends today, and when I looked at the track, it your W came to my mind 😀
Omg!!! Looks so good and I cannot find it anywhere!!! And I cannot wait 5 weeeks😅
It’s a pretty nice upgrade right! They sold out straight away… but we’re getting another batch in soon so keep an eye out 💪
@@wiggle you are the best!!!
Well crap lol - I did the 'W' challenge and submitted my run but JUST noticed I can't win one because I live in the US. Big time bummer! Great video on the watch! Definitely hope to save up and get one of these soon. My Forerunner 735xt is getting a bit old but still is very reliable!
Ahhh Dan we appreciate the commitment regardless! We’d usually try to allow these to be global but this one wasn’t possible. Glad the 735 is still going strong💪
Lovely video! Is it as good as a epix 2 related to “being strong” and taking some bumps?
The Epix 2 is more rugged for sure! It’s designed to take the worst outdoor abuse! The forerunner is designed more for general day to day running. Still fantastic but the Epix is a beast! Hope that helps
Looks like a great day out was had! When will you be hosting the first official Raddle race? 😆
a Raddle Race... Love that! not sure but when we do, you'll have the first invite!
Sooo impressed with how the maps look on this 965! 🔥Awesome video yous two .. a big W-in! 👊🏼🎥
They are a huge upgrade from the old 955. Thanks... loving your videos too 🔥💪🔥
@@wiggleThis is good news! 🙈 Looks like I'll have to get a gravel bike too lol 🔥Ahh thank you! Learning from the best 😉💪🏼
@@wiggle ojooojoj
When will it be available on your site?
Shouldn't be too long... will update the description when it does!
@@wiggle we talking days…weeks? Hours maybe…hehe. Excited for this!
@@Arcalius Hopefully we're talking minutes 🙈
@@ActiveIdeas even if it’s just a pre order link!
It's now up on site here www.wiggle.co.uk/garmin-forerunner-965-gps-watch
Garmin clearly has the best hardware in the sports/fitness tech world. However, many of us are frustrated with the fact that they give us 79 preloaded activities, most of which the average person will never use, and yet they don't give us the ability to create custom activities. Sure they let us rename some of them, but unless something changed with the Fenix 7 the renamed activity will revert to it's original generic name when it transfers to Connect and Strava, making it very difficult to track progress over time unless you want to manually edit every movement every day every time you workout.
Circuit training, functional fitness, WOD's, Zone training, CrossFit, Hyrox, DekFit etc, and gyms all around the world are creating custom workouts daily, and events like the "Murph Challenge" are very popular. Having the ability to create custom activities such as Box Jumps, Burpees, Wall-balls, Assault Bike, pull-ups, Sled push/pull, Rowing machine, Ski machine, kettlebells, farmers carry, push-ups etc....and even typical gym movements where an athlete wants to chart their progress over time to see how their strength and fitness volume has changed when doing bench press, dead lifts, squats etc. None of this is possible on our $1000 watch, unless you just want to use the generic "cardio" "strength" feature and lump all movements together without the ability to measure progress over time.
A lot of people will say that these are niche movements and I disagree. The top runners, swimmers, cyclist, and just every major sport incorporates cross-training to improve strength, mobility, and function fitness.
And what about the sport of power lifting and bodybuilding, how do they record their training sessions in a way that allows them to evaluate specific movements over time? I mean c'mon they've added snorkeling, kitesurfing, disc golf, and mixed martial arts....are you telling me those aren't niche sports/activities?
Why does this seem like the low hanging fruit that Garmin can fix today with minimal investment, is it really that technologically challenging? I'd pay for a custom library saved on the cloud for easy daily transfer to my watch as needed for each daily WOD.
Anybody have answers?
On u tube
Not much info about the watch. Just two people pretending to be in shape.
No pretending here 😆
@@wiggle I am sure you are :-)
What a bitter person! Just chill and that's it. There are dozens of videos with technical information. This video is an excellent showcase of usage in multiple sports and, on top of that, extraordinary landscapes.
