Garmin Forerunner 965 vs Vivomove Trend
Size, specs & wrist fit compared

Which one fits you
On wrists narrower than about 50mm, the Vivomove Trend is the safer pick — it stays proportionate down to roughly 43mm, where the Forerunner 965 starts to hang over the edge. Above 50mm both sit cleanly, and the Forerunner 965 gives you more presence.
The Forerunner 965 wears larger than the Vivomove Trend (47.2mm vs 40.4mm case), giving it more wrist presence — and needing a wider wrist to sit cleanly.
The Vivomove Trend is the slimmer of the two (11.9mm vs 13.2mm), so it slides under a cuff more easily.
On the wrist the Vivomove Trend feels lighter (28.3g vs 53g, case only).
The Forerunner 965 is middle-of-the-pack for thickness among the 89 47mm watches in the database.
Among the 509 40mm watches we hold thickness for, the Vivomove Trend is thicker than 82% — it will sit high even though the case width reads modest.
The Forerunner 965 is 6.8mm wider, 6.8mm longer, 1.3mm thicker and 24.7g heavier than the Vivomove Trend. Both are circular.

Watch Fit Tool
For sports watches, lug-to-lug (L2L) is what matters most — it decides whether a watch overhangs your wrist. Bulky is fine; overhang is not.
Measure at the point where you wear your watch — typically just below the wrist bone.
Flat width — lay your arm on a table, palm facing up, and measure straight across the top of your wrist with a ruler. Bone to bone; do not follow the curve down the sides.
Around — wrap a tape measure snugly round the wrist. No tape? Wrap a strip of paper, mark the overlap and hold the strip against a ruler.
Width ≠ circumference. They are different numbers — around 170mm is about 64mm across — so set the toggle to whichever one you actually measured before you type it in.

Case 47.2mm · Lug-to-lug 47.2mm · Thickness 13.2mm · 53g
Sweet Spot
47.2mm on a 55mm wrist
Across the wrist it works — 3.9mm spare each side — but wide enough that the edge of the case back lifts clear of the skin.
On a 55mm wrist the sweet spot is 47–53mm lug to lug. This one is 47.2mm.
Measure where you wear it, just below the wrist bone. Either of these works — the tool converts between them.
- 1. Flat width — arm flat on a table, palm up. Measure straight across the top of the wrist, bone to bone, ignoring the curve down the sides.
- 2. Around — a tape, or a strip of paper marked and held against a ruler, snug the whole way round.
Leather: Attaches at the lugs, so the case back rests on your skin. Thins and softens with wear. Typical figures, not this model’s own.

Balanced Fit
40.4mm on a 55mm wrist
Comfortably inside the edges of your wrist, and it seats and sits low enough to wear without thinking about it.
On a 55mm wrist the sweet spot is 47–53mm lug to lug. This one is 40.4mm, so you could go bigger.
Measure where you wear it, just below the wrist bone. Either of these works — the tool converts between them.
