Ever heard of a raddle adventure? Neither had we! Turns out they are pretty fun. It's a multisport adventure that consists of a Run, a Paddle and a Gravel bike ride to finish. It's a tricky route to follow which made it the perfect test for the new Garmin Forerunner 965. The new FR965 supposedly has all the tech built into the watch to make light work of a day out like this... but let's see how it really holds up against a RADDLE!

At first glance, the Garmin Forerunner 965 GPS Sports Watch is a beautiful bit of kit. Created with a crisp and detailed 1.4" AMOLED touchscreen display in full colour - ideal when using multi-band GPS and the built-in maps to check you are still on the right track. The lightweight titanium bezel and dual-colour bands ooze quality while the touchscreen and traditional button controls allow you to quickly tap into your training status and make sure you are training productively.

There's no better way to start the day than sitting down with a coffee and checking over your morning report. The training readiness feature gives an overview of your sleep, recovery and training outlook alongside HRV status, training readiness and weather so you can plan the day ahead. And the race widget and daily suggested workouts recommend activity-based training that adapts to your performance and recovery.

Boasting an impressive 23 days of battery life in smartwatch mode and up to 31 hours in GPS mode, the Forerunner 965 will be right there with you, every step of the way. Running through the mud and rain, cycling up that steep incline or out perfecting your stroke in the open water. Multi-band GNSS with SatIQ™ technology provide reassuring accuracy in challenging environments while safety and tracking features with incident detection keep you safe.

With the Garmin Connect™ app, you'll have access to all your health and fitness information and be able to connect and compete with your friends, join challenges and earn badges. Garmin Pay™ provides on-the-go payments so you can leave your cash and cards at home while 32GB of internal memory means you can download your favourite music and create a motivating playlist to help you push through and crush your goals.
