Garmin India has launched new smartwatches under its 'Forerunner' line. The new Garmin smartwatches have unique smartphone features for music management and notifications, but they are marketed toward "triathletes, passionate, and elite runners." The Garmin 'Forerunner 965' has a titanium bezel, 1.4-inch display, and a 23-day battery life. Its counterpart, the Garmin 'Forerunner 265,' features a Ground Gorilla Glass 4 lens, 1.3-inch AMOLED display, Garmin Firstbeat Analytics, and over 30 sports profiles with a dedicated triathlon mode. It is comparable to the Forerunner 965 but has a few minor differences, such as a smaller display and battery. Garmin's Firstbeat Analytics provides tracking performance, such as VO2 max, performance condition, training effect, and more.
