The Garmin Forerunner 965 is a beast of running watch, with loads of advanced training tools like Garmin's Training Readiness and Endurance scores, sleep tracking, daily morning reports to track your progress, and maps tools to create courses and follow the directions on your wrist. At this lowest-ever price, it's an easy get for keen runners.

The same great watch as above, with the same excellent discount, this time from SportsShoes.com. The Forerunner offers a 23-day battery life in smartwatch mode, which is impressive considering that AMOLED screen really pumps up the brightness compared to the memory-in-pixel screens used in previous years.

In our full review of the Garmin Forerunner 965, we gave it 4.5 stars and said, "The Garmin Forerunner 965 crams in nearly all the best features developed over the years, making this a powerhouse of a sports watch. That means it'll track most sports, with over 30 including triathlon and multisport-specific tracking with one-touch transitions."

So even though it's a watch tailor-made for runners, it'll support you on the rest of your fitness journey too. However, it really shines when used for long-distance running like maras and trail runs, with comprehensive metrics such as cadence, stride length, and navigation features to keep you on course. It's without doubt one of the best Garmin watches yet, especially at this price.
