Which should I pick — Garmin Forerunner 965 or Forerunner 570? Looking for honest opinions
Hey folks!
I’m considering upgrading my venu 3s and am stuck between two Garmin models:
Options I’m choosing between:
• Garmin Forerunner 965
• Garmin Forerunner 570
• Garmin Forerunner 255 music
About me:
• Mostly running (training for longer distances)
• Like tracking HR, pace, VO2, structured workouts
• Want reliable GPS and routing
• Not sure how much I “need” the extra from the 965
• Budget isn’t a factor but quality matters
Questions I’m curious about:
1. What are the real-world differences you notice between these two?
2. Is the AMOLED + maps on the 965 worth the price premium?
3. Do you think the 570 is “good enough” for marathon training?
4. Any long-term reliability pros/cons you’ve seen?
5. Battery life differences in everyday use?
Appreciate any thoughts, comparisons, or personal experiences! Thanks 😊
