Bro you can get a "used" (often actually still new in box) 955 on marketplace for like $300.
The only complaint I have about mine is the barometer/elevation data is jacked up, but that doesn't seems to randomly occur with different garmin devices and isn't isolated to this one. The 965 is basically the 955 with OLED, which isn't a real upgrade to me. The 970 is marginally more advanced. But don't spend $500 on it, that would be crazy for a watch 2 generations behind.
I run in treadmills during winter, I have an Apple Watch Ultra and is way off. I prefer my 965 Forerunner for tracking even indoors. Actually I wear it all the time just because it's longer battery life.
I made the switch from AWU to Garmin.
Cons:
\- UI is frustrating until you get used to it.
\- almost no 3rd party Apps, and even if the app exists is usually a very limited experience.
Pros:
\- Battery life is night and day
\- Fitness tracking is fantastic
\- Pairing with RayBan/oakley Meta is awesome
Integration is 50/50, limited apple health integration.
I'm really happy with my Garmin and not coming back to AW until they figure out how to deliver 1 week real battery life
Instead of a refurb just get an older model, a 965 forerunner is great value.

Long battery; but wrist HR tracking is inconsistent.
