    1 year later, I'm waiting for my 965 to be delivered, and find this video immensely helpful even before I actually have the watch. Thanks for making this, it's excellent. 🙂👍
  • This is undoubtedly the best review of the 965. It is one hour long and it is worth it. What could be improved? One single item only: since you are taking over an hour, you may as well take 1h15-20 and try to go through everything in a slightly slower pace.You speak way too fast and that does not always help the viewer to keep up. Rather than that, amazing work! Thanks!
  • @Gabrielerf
    I love your videos, this one is great, thank you so much for cover almost every single detail.
  • Very informative Ray, love this, can't wait for it to be released in the UK.
  • @muradm9407
    Thank you for this extensive review, very useful! Got my FR965, coming from Vivoactive 4, huge difference. Love it so far.
  • @olema83
    Thanks for making this. As a new user this was very good. 😊
  • @Miesjel
    Heel blij met je uitleg! Heb hem besteld. Dank.
  • @RevengeRunning
    Just a phenomenal video, can't thank you enough for helping me figure out this new purchase. You're killin' it! (the good killing)
  • @gjsvid
    Thanks for this insightful video. Very helpful!
  • @user-ku9qy6ch9l
    Switched over from an Apple Watch ultra. I needed this so bad. Thank you!!
  • Dear DCR, Thank you for your informative video on the usage of the Garmin FR965. It has been an extraordinary and elaborate resource for me as I recently made the switch from a Samsung Watch. I am confident that with the knowledge gained from your video, I will be able to fully utilize the features of the FR965. Sincerely, Srinivas
  • @toggie35
    I bought my FR965 after watching your videos, thanks for the reviews. Now I have to watch this video to understand the basics! :) In 2024 because I upgraded my previous FR 735XT I have to upgrade to racing distance IM70.3 rather than Olympic Tri.
  • What's really cool is that it's not trying to be some sleek mini smartphone on the wrist but an actual watch, so it has all those buttons!
  • @rowe6
    This is a class video, waiting on mine, appreciate the detail - really good
  • I agree with you about additional sport modes. I'd love to see indoor or outdoor soccer.
  • @lasereyesss
    Just picked up my first Garmin watch and its the 965! Very excited (coming from a long time Apple Watch user) Thanks a lot, Sir!

    14:27 hits hard. The sudden realization you've been to Florida and are back in NL where it's consistently raining and debating your place of living choices. 😄
