Getting Better All The Time

This is my fourth!! Garmin watch. I’ve been a Garmin user for like 18 ish years. I am impressed how much tech and data I get from my new forerunner, especially compared to the last one. And I was worried about battery life ( as that is usually why I have to replace my watches ). This 265 will last for three ish days, using it for my runs, and monitor my O2 sat at night. Super impressed.

Great Addition To My Exercises

The Garmin 265 is an excellent watch for tracking runs, soccer, and daily walks. The GPS is very accurate, and the heart rate and pace data are reliable and easy to understand. It’s comfortable to wear all day, the battery lasts several days, and the screen is bright and easy to read even in sunlight. I also like how quickly it connects to the phone and how detailed the activity summaries are. Overall, it’s a very nice and dependable device for anyone looking to improve their fitness and track multiple sports.

Love It!

Love my forerunner 265. My first Garmin which was forerunner 55 was great and wanted to upgrade. The 265 doesn't disappoint. Very accurate and has a ton of face options.

Does It All & Long Life?

I’ve had Forerunner 265 for about 9 months now. It does everything I need and lots more that I’ve not yet worried about learning how to do. It tracks lots things for my rides and walks, saves them, and tells me how I’m doing. My favorite thing is the battery life — I charge it for about an hour and only once a week. I also appreciate how it syncs with my Apple phone and shows me the notifications so I don’t have to look at the phone every five minutes. I don’t yet use it for music, paying for stuff, or finding my phone, but those are all there too. I’ve not scratched the glass yet, so it seems pretty tough, but I will likely get a sapphire glass next time now that I know I like it. I chose this one because I didn’t want to spend more on something I wasn’t sure how well I would like it. It’s great. Will get another Garmin next time.

Everything I Need As An Intermediate Runner

I trained and ran my first 10K with a Fitbit, which served me well, but I wanted to upgrade to a more runner-focused watch. While the more recent and expensive Garmins (570, 970, etc.) all looked great, I ended up getting the 265. Even though it came out 2 years ago, it is still an excellent running watch. The heart rate is accurate, I'm enjoying using the training suggestions, and the health and training features are excellent. Would recommend to anybody.
