Garmin celebrates two decades of excellence with the launch of the Forerunner 965 and 265, designed with runners in mind

Garmin’s Forerunner series has been a trailblazer in innovation for the past twenty years, transforming how runners train and track their progress. It introduced the world’s first GPS smartwatch designed specifically for runners, helping athletes achieve their personal bests and significantly impacting the fitness industry. 

Garmin began in aviation with GPS products in 1989 and expanded into the automotive, marine and outdoor sectors. In 2003, the company introduced the Forerunner, the first-ever GPS smartwatch designed exclusively for runners. This game-changing device enabled athletes to precisely monitor their distance, pace, and routes, offering valuable insights into their training regimens. Since then, the Forerunner series has consistently pushed the boundaries, establishing new benchmarks in wearable fitness technology.
