Garmin Forerunner 965 – UK Orders SHIPPING Now At Wiggle
The Garmin Forerunner 965 Review is Now Live
Looks like my Forerunner 965 will be here on Saturday 18th in the UK, delivery is listed as tomorrow (17 March) but I think that is a quirk of the system (Edit: delivery was 18 March)
I’ve no intel on the size of Wiggle’s stock, demand is significant and I would imagine there is a good chance it will sell out. So…you know what to do.
If there are any future supply restrictions the key retailers like Wiggle and REI will get the most stock first.
Here is the link:
- UK – Garmin Forerunner 965 at Wiggle UK for GBP599.
- EU – Garmin Forerunner 965 at WiggleSport EU for Eu687. – may not be in stock in all EU countries.
- USA – Garmin Forerunner 965 at REI for $600
Price: USA $599, UK £599, EU649

Very jealous! I placed my order within 10 minutes of the release on March 2 direct from garmin.com in the US. Still no movement or updates on the order. Hope you get yours tomorrow, and enjoy it!!
Maybe they do things differently in the land of the free. But prior experience of ordering with Garmin UK is that just ordering with whoever has exclusivity, usually 2-6 weeks. (normally wiggle but there have been others) is the way to go, otherwise they don’t dispatch till that period elapses. Good ????
Mine is dispatched and en route!
yes.
it’s figuring out who has exclusivity tho.
so for forerunner type stuff in the UK then it is typically wiggle
but if its more outdoorsy then it could be someone like cotswold.
Hi,
It seems there were only a few in Wiggle.
I bought it yesterday (Saturday) should be with me today.
just arrived in Liverpool.
yep, i did say people needed to act asap.
i have mine 😉
Lucky you ????
What do think about it?
Any good??
might do a first impressions post today.
i got mine yesterday.
I switched from Epix2
the build definitely feels that it is not premium class.
yet it is light and thin.
while the display is comparable to the AW Ultra,
it runs faster than Epix.
OK buttons although there is no hard click.
generally fantastic watch if you do not need premium case.
I heard that the 955 had a problem with other maps than garmin. no such problem here.
Faster then the Epix – that sounds great. I have the Epix, and it feels smooth.
I was hoping I would get the F965 before the Berlin half ????????♂️????, but it sounds from Pulsure in DK that’s its still in back order.
which maps did you try pls?

Topo HD UK
working perfectly.
🙂
ah! glad you use his maps.
it’s always good to support the smaller companies individuals
the site has a good reputation for customer service.
Interesting, could you give this a try?

Every now and then some custom maps do seem to work also with the 955, but apparently the ones above seem to cause issues.
Hi mate,
Unfortunately, there is a problem with these maps.
they may work, but the watch will freeze when entering the map menu.
I can’t disable others to see if they work.
after removing them, TT topo Talky and the rest Garmin Maps works great again.
cheers
Robert
Thanks for taking the time to try it, much appreciated!
Too bad it doesn’t seem to work (these used to work with the 945) because I think that means that the common issue with the custom maps playing on the 955 also seems to be present on the 965 (some maps work, many don’t).
Anyway, perhaps it’s in the maps afterall.. Hard to tell but the end result is the same anyway 😉
Enjoy the 965!
Looking forward to what you think about the 965. Of course you could save me a lot of € by saying it’s terrible & best avoided 🙂
it’s terrible and best avoided.
will you buy me a drink now? i just saved you £600
(it’s pretty good actually)
Whew well that’s fine then! Still holding solid at 3 – 5 on the Irish Garmin site so I’ve plenty of time to mull it over.
