Garmin India has launched its latest series of AMOLED Running GPS Smartwatches, the Forerunner 965 and Forerunner 265, after their unveiling in March. The Forerunner series, designed for passionate runners and triathletes, features the world’s longest battery life for a running watch with an AMOLED display.

At an event in Bengaluru celebrating Garmin’s 20th anniversary, Indian sprinter Hima Das joined the brand in unveiling the new smartwatches, which come equipped with innovative tools, including VO2 max, performance condition, and over 30 sports profiles. The Wrist-Based Running Dynamics feature allows users to track detailed metrics such as stride length and vertical oscillation.

The Forerunner 965 boasts a titanium bezel and a high-res 1.4-inch AMOLED display, providing an incredible battery life of up to 23 days in smartwatch mode and up to 31 hours in GPS mode. The Forerunner 265, on the other hand, has a tough Gorilla Glass 4 lens and a 1.3-inch AMOLED display option with a battery life of 13 days in smartwatch mode and 20 hours in GPS mode.

Garmin has partnered with Firstbeat Analytics to integrate advanced analytics and metrics in the areas of stress, sleep, maximal oxygen consumption (VO2 Max), training status/load, training effectiveness, and respiration rate. The Stamina and Acute Chronic Workload Ratio features help users manage their physical exertion and prevent overexertion for smarter and less strenuous training.

The Training Readiness feature gives users an idea of their fitness level and preparation for the next workout, while the Race widget acts as a personal coach that gives advice and predicts race time. Additionally, the Forerunner 265’s trendy appearance and colorful silicone bands enhance the runner’s confident stride.

The Forerunner 965 and Forerunner 265 can be purchased from various platforms, both offline and online. Offline options include Garmin Brand Store, Garmin Shopping Shop, Croma, Vijay Sales, Helios, Just-In-Time, Zimson Watch, Kamal Watch Co., Ruswic Stores, Mastermind, Vishal Trading, Cyclofit, Decathlon (Bengaluru), as well as all leading watch, sports, and bike retail outlets. Online options include Amazon.in, Flipkart, Tata Cliq, Tata Luxury, Synergizer.com, Bhawar.com, and Nykaa.com.

Garmin’s latest smartwatch series is expected to be well-received by the Indian market, particularly given the brand’s longstanding reputation for producing high-quality GPS technology. The Forerunner 965 and Forerunner 265 will undoubtedly appeal to avid runners and fitness enthusiasts looking for a device that can help them maximize their training potential while also keeping track of their overall health and wellness.
