Getting a good deal on a smartwatch can be tricky, but Labor Day sales can help. For the holiday weekend, Best Buy has knocked $100 off the Garmin Forerunner 965, which is a capable smartwatch that boasts super-accurate GPS and a wide range of health and fitness features. Users really like the watch’s beautiful AMOLED display, along with its long-lasting battery, and its many useful health and fitness features such as sleep and heart rate monitoring.
✅Recommended if: you want a smartwatch with a really good-looking screen; you need something that’s super-precise when using GPS and HRM; you want a smartwatch with a long battery life.
❌Skip this deal if: you need something that offers AFib detection; you’re looking to spend less on a smartwatch; you want a watch that supports Outdoor Plus.
The Garmin Forerunner 965 is a top-tier smartwatch, offering battery life times of up to 23 days per charge when used in smartwatch mode. It also comes with 32GB of storage, a bright 1.4-inch AMOLED display, and 5ATM water resistance, boasting sensors for GPS, HRM, and more. You can also use NFC and Garmin Pay with this watch to make purchases.
A couple of the downsides of Forerunner 965 include the fact that it doesn’t support Garmin’s Outdoor Plus mapping feature, and it also doesn’t include AFib detection. Otherwise, this is a pretty solid deal on a high-quality smartwatch.
