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.

Wonderful Upgrade

Have a Forerunner 735XT that I bought over 3 years ago. The problem was that the battery life was getting shorter and shorter. Purchased this Forerunner 265 in an early Black Friday sale. Love it. In order to having a color screen, it is incredibly easy to use and has far more features than my old 735XT. It gives me training suggestions as well as monitoring my overall fitness. The touch screen took a little getting used to but I now love it. Great purchase and great upgrade.

Love This Watch

This is a great watch, I have had many running watches and when my 245 gave up I went to the 265 and love it. Color screen that’s large enough to read for those of us in our advancing years, has music on board so I don’t have to bring my phone and has more features than I will ever use. Great watch!!

Great Running Watch

Easy to operate and looks awesome! Very happy and have recommended to many people!
