Love It

Love it. I am a long time garmin user having started out with a Forerunner 205. I went with the Forerunner 265 as a replacement for my Forerunner 935 that lasted me over 10 years. I was concerned I wouldnt like it, but I simply dont train or do what I used to. I was wrong. I love it, especially the team sports function.

Great For Cycling

I use this for riding: commuting, gravel biking and MTB. It works very well for all and the immediate visibility makes it much better than a phone for tracking rides.

I have had it for several weeks now and really enjoying the amoled screen. All the features and capabilities I need.

Great For Cycling

I got this watch for cycling: commuting, MTB and gravel. I rarely go without it. The sleep and health metrics are very helpful for planning the day's rides.

Super Happy

I bought the Forerunner 265 a few weeks ago and it has been fantastic. Much better than my Apple Watch, which had to be charged every night. The metrics are fantastic and the training plans are great. The battery lasting so long is just the cherry on top. Super happy with my purchase.

Excellent Running And Fitness Watch

The Garmin Forerunner 265 has been a great watch for tracking my running and overall fitness. The display is bright and easy to read, the GPS connects quickly, and the watch provides helpful information about my workouts, recovery, heart rate, and training progress. It is comfortable to wear throughout the day, and the battery life has been reliable. There are many features to learn at first, but the watch becomes easier to use with practice. I would recommend it to runners or anyone who wants detailed fitness information.
