It is not unofficial intel or a leak &#8211; all information has been found online using search engines. Nonetheless, all information provided here should be taken with a grain of salt until the Forerunner 965 is officially announced by Garmin. As always, I recommend considering all information as wild guesswork.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3 data-toc-id='UVQHv'>1.4&#8243; AMOLED display<\/h3>\n<p>The Forerunner 965 is confirmed to have a 1.4&#8243; AMOLED display. That&#8217;s a big deal because it&#8217;s the first AMOLED display in the Forerunner lineup, and with 1.4 inches, it outpaces the Epix Gen 2&#8217;s display, which comes in at 1.3 inches. Other than that, the Forerunner 965&#8217;s display should be pretty similar to the Venu 2 and Epix Gen 2.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3 data-toc-id='Hy7l7'>Wrist-based Running Dynamics<\/h3>\n<p>Running Dynamics is the term for additional running metrics (e.g. cadence, ground contact time, ground contact time balance, stride length, vertical oscillation, vertical ratio) used mainly by Garmin (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.garmin.com\/en-US\/garmin-technology\/running-science\/\" title=\"Running Dynamics on garmin.com\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">learn more about it<\/a>). Until now, you needed a Running Dynamics Pod or a compatible HR chest strap to get the data. Obviously, the Forerunner 965 will be able to provide these metrics without the need for additional devices. If you have a pod or a compatible HR chest strap at hand, both approaches can be combined to further enhance the data quality.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3 data-toc-id='wXsEi'>Multiband + SatIQ<\/h3>\n<p>As with the Forerunner 955, the Forerunner 965 can use multiple GNSS and L1\/L5 multiband to determine the current location. New to the Forerunner series will be SatIQ, which is a technology to switch to the most useful GNSS setting, e.g. by using multiband in challenging environments while switching to GPS only when in flat and open terrain.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3 data-toc-id='IZdpJ'>Titanium bezel<\/h3>\n<p>The Forerunner 965 will have a sleek and slender titanium bezel. This could be a first indication that the Forerunner 965 will have ECG functionality already prepared, and that the feature may be enabled sometime later.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For some, this may not sound like much innovation, but you should consider the Forerunner 965 being a product update other than a next-gen device. Maybe some more features are coming to the watch, but the latest online listings don&#8217;t name anything else that is unknown to the Forerunner 955.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ftt-image-2044408986\" style=\"width: 895px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href='\/wp-content\/img\/garmin\/forerunner-965\/garmin-forerunner-965-02.jpg' data-fancybox data-caption='Garmin Forerunner 965 (Source: Garmin)'><img aria-describedby=\"caption-ftt-image-2044408986\" loading='lazy' alt='Garmin Forerunner 965 (Source: Garmin)' title='Garmin Forerunner 965 (Source: Garmin)' data-mw='885' src='\/media\/885\/wp-content\/img\/garmin\/forerunner-965\/garmin-forerunner-965-02.jpg' sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 295px) 295px,\n(max-width: 450px) 450px,\n885px\" srcset='\/media\/295\/wp-content\/img\/garmin\/forerunner-965\/garmin-forerunner-965-02.jpg 295w,\/media\/450\/wp-content\/img\/garmin\/forerunner-965\/garmin-forerunner-965-02.jpg 450w,\/media\/885\/wp-content\/img\/garmin\/forerunner-965\/garmin-forerunner-965-02.jpg 885w,\/media\/1250\/wp-content\/img\/garmin\/forerunner-965\/garmin-forerunner-965-02.jpg 1250w' width='885' height='242' class='ftt-img size-large' \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-ftt-image-2044408986\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Garmin Forerunner 965 (Source: Garmin)<\/p><\/div>\n<h2 data-toc-id='b5dUD'>Garmin Forerunner 965 &#8211; Battery Life<\/h2>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-254\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-254 tablepress-grid cols-5\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\"><\/th><th class=\"column-2\">Forerunner 965<\/th><th class=\"column-3\">Forerunner 955<\/th><th class=\"column-4\">Enduro 2<\/th><th class=\"column-5\">Fenix 7<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-striping row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Smartwatch mode<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">23 days<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">15 days<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">34 days<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">18 days<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">GPS only<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">31 hours<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">42 hours<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">264 hours<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">57 hours<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">GNSS + Multiband<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">19 hours<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">20 hours<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">68 hours<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">40 hours<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">GNSS + Multiband + Music<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">8.5 hours<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">8.5 hours<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">20 hours<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">10 hours<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<!-- #tablepress-254 from cache -->\n<p>The information given by the online retailer is worth a remark: I think running up to 23 days in smartwatch mode is a big step forward compared to the Forerunner 955&#8217;s 15 days.
