Garmin Forerunner 965 Ebook Reader

Garmin Forerunner 965 can display TXT novels with WristTale. We have checked reading on the actual watch. Our test material shows light text against a dark background, with the page indicator separated from the paragraph at the bottom of the circular screen.

Text on the Forerunner 965

Garmin Forerunner 965 showing Chinese book text on a dark background with a page indicator in WristTale

WristTale running on Forerunner 965; the sample book is in Chinese.

The reading layout keeps the paragraph and progress indicator distinct. Curved screen edges limit line width. Choose a font size that suits your reading distance, then preview a familiar passage to see how it fills the screen.

This layout is useful for a few paragraphs during a break, a short checklist, or study notes you want to keep on your wrist.

Send the sections you need

Import and preview the book on your phone, then send selected chapters. After the watch saves them, reading does not require an active transfer connection. Complex page layouts and scanned documents need to be turned into readable text first.
