News from Garmin: with the new Forerunner 965 or 265, triathletes and runners now have power measurement while running (running power) right on their wrist.
"Train brilliantly" is the overarching motto for the two new releases: the FR 965 as a universal triathlon and multisport watch, the FR 265 as a more specific running watch. Both continue the respective product series (FR 955 / 255) - with even more functions, data and evaluation options. The computer on the wrist analyzes the athlete's performance status and progress in more detail than ever before, it measures the training load, warns of overloading and gives training recommendations.
New: running power directly on the watch
The most interesting new function is the power measurement while running, which is now measured directly by the watch and displayed in real time without any other accessories.
As with cycling, the mileage is measured in watts, taking into account environmental influences, gradients, wind, etc., making the performance of different runs comparable and the training controllable. To do this, Garmin calculates the corresponding total performance from the individual components of the mileage, all of which are integrated in the two watch models 965 / 265:
Graphics: Garmin
- Kinetic Force: Watch speed data
- Potential Force: Elevation data from the watch's barometer
- Vertical Movement Power: Running Dynamics Data Vertical Movement & Ground Contact
- Horizontal Movement Power: Running efficiency data horizontal movement, stride length & running speed
- Wind power: running speed, direction data, weather conditions, barometric measurement

Ist das Display gewölbt, oder flach wie bei der 955? Auf den Bildern sieht es so aus, als wenn das Glas ewölbt ist :-(

Eine toller Artikel. Die Uhr soll mein Ersatz für die Forerunner 945 werden. Die kann ich derzeit mit dem Garmin Forerunner® 935/945 Schnellwechsel-Kit vom Arm aufs Bike und zurück wechseln, was beim Triathlon perfekt und schnell klappte, so dass die Uhr perfekt im Blickfeld auf dem Bike ist. Die 965 ist nun wieder dünner geworden, so dass das vielleicht wieder klappen könnte, wäre das Argument auch für diese Uhr.

Leistungsmessung ohne Gurt kann die 955er auch seit dem vorletzten Update!
