I have used Forerunners dating back to 2006, and have loved my Garmin 935 for the last 3 years. I wanted more color and features so stepped up to a new 265 last month. I am pleased with many of the 265 features, specifically a richer colorful display for everyday and race use, and the expanded health metrics compliment my smart ring daily health data. I will be honest that the cool new color watch I use all day does drain the battery more than my 935 did, with me getting about 5 days normal use of training runs, 24/7 wear, between charges rather than the 7-9 days with the 935, but I still have not tweaked my battery consumption with features yet so who knows if that might improve. Another minor issue is that the bezel on the 265 is curved downward on the edges such that my old glass screen protector for the bezel don't fit tight and other plastic options are sub par. Would love to find a complete minimal bezel protector if I could in the future to protect the Gorilla glass from major scratching which I inevitably do to it. Overall I am pleased with the 265 in most all respects, and would highly recommend the watch.

Garmin 265
I bought month ago and lit bit disappointed with to thing size of the display is too small or too big, and why it no microphone or speaker? 965 no microphone or speaker as well so I used both way like running and smartphone and so I will maybe return and find another one

Great For Some Fitness
I love this watch for running and tracking stats — it’s accurate, reliable, and great for fitness. I just wish it had more smart watch features, like voice commands, to make it even more versatile. Some functions can be tricky to find at first, so there’s a bit of a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, it’s a solid choice for runners.

265 Upgrade
Upgraded from a 645. Happy with the upgrade. Hoping to get as much mileage as I have from the 645.

Much Better Than My Apple Watch S8
This watch was a little pricey but well worth it. I bought this to replace my Apple Watch Series 8 because I was getting more serious into running and would like to start biking + swimming. I really like the battery life. That is really the big selling point. If you are a runner and use the "Runna" app, your workouts sync up seamlessly to be started right on your watch.
