Garmin Forerunner 265 Running Smartwatch, Colorful AMOLED Display, Training Metrics and Recovery Insights, Whitestone and Tidal Blue

I upgraded from a VivoActive 3 Music. I like to space out my upgrades so I get that shock at how much better things have gotten. HR tracking is pretty good, but I still us a chest strap or arm strap while running as watch sensor will lag behind until I'm nearing the end of my run, or I've done a high intensity bit and then it seems to be in sync again.I love the screen, it looks amazing. Battery life is excellent. Navigation is straightforward, having come from another Garmin. Notifications are significantly upgraded over my Vivo. And the list of available workouts is stellar. Solid watch, Garmin!

So far this Garmin watch is great! It performs as advertised. Garmin is constantly updating the software. The Garmin Connect web page provides the runner with a lot of performance info. Worth to buy!

I upgraded to this from the Garmin Forerunner 235, and the difference is amazing!! Not only does it give you your training load, but it differentiates between specific training types (high aerobic, low aerobic, etc.) I also love how it measures altitude and barometric pressure. The screen is beautiful as well, and I enjoy being able to visualize my HRV as well. At this point, I feel like I’m rambling on, but there’s just so many features that I love about this watch. I would definitely recommend investing in this baby!!

I never thought that I would feel like inspector gadget, but after buying this watch I was sold. This is definitely the best watch. I’ve ever bought tons of different options. The wallpaper option is amazing. The layout configurations are amazing. The tracking is amazing all this on a touchscreen watch and the battery last for two weeks chefs kiss, thank you Garmin for making such an amazing product. I am definitely sold. I have bought four watches from you guys and I will continue to support this company 100%.

tracked activities, it uploaded everything to strava automatically. Love the sleep analysis and heart rate, calorie burn, steps monitor. so useful. hope to get atleast 5 years out of this!

The media could not be loaded. Did tons of research on watches for big runs and music compatibility and kept returning to this one because of the awesome colors, run themes and features, I used my Amazon prime account on Amazon music to download a ton of music and it required wifi and took a couple days but I’m ready to do some big runs with this watch and super stoked on it. If you’re a runner searching for a watch with a longer lasting battery and caters to your running life’s style this is the one.

Wanted a garmin watch that could use to monitor my exercises (run bike swim) but also to use while sleeping to get my sleep monitored without waking up next day with my arm with pain because the heaviness of the watch, as well as a watch with good color display to be able to read the numbers without my glasses . THIS ONE ACCOMPLISHED ALL WHAT I WANTED!! Great choice!!

I received my Garmin Forerunner 265 a short time ago and I already love it! The setup was easy and was able to customize my preferred activities easily. The AMOLED display is beautiful and clear, easy to read. It tracks so many metrics and I’m excited to be able to see my HRV, pulse, and VO2 metrics right on the watch face. Do I run? I did years ago but not anymore. Will this watch meet all of my needs -tracking the activities that I DO do, such as walking, strength training. Yoga, and stair climbing - yes it does. It’s a complete package and I couldn’t be happier!
