Obsessed

I am absolutely obsessed with my watch. The way it looks, feels, how it works, the battery life! Everything so far has been great! I have been wearing it for almost a month and I don't have any complaints.

So Accurate!

Amazing gps tracking. As a runner I couldn't ask for a better watch. It syncs up and connects so quickly. Light weight and very comfortable to wear. In addition to tracking my pace and distance this watch also does a phenomenol job of tracking my heart rate as well as a multitude of other useful things. The way you can customize and personalize this watch is pretty sweet too.

Nice Watch

Really like the FR 265s. Bought it to pair with my Garmin cycling computer and it works great. Broadcasts HR to the computer easily. Easy to set up, did have a small issue after a software update, Garmin support was wonderful and helped me solve the problem. Would recommend.

Love this Garmin!!

this Garmin is the best thing that I've purchased in a long time. I love all of the features. It took a little bit to learn how to use it and I still have more to learn, but I love it!

The Perfect Watch Does Exist!

I moved away from the Apple Watch, and I am so glad I did. I spent weeks researching several Garmins before finally deciding on the Forerunner 265S. Suits my needs perfectly and gives me room to grow.

Great Features and Easy to Use

I had a smartwatch for quite some time and the battery would drain so quickly that I couldn't go a full day without having to charge. I also realized that I didn't want/need a lot of the smart features and wanted more of a fitness/health focused watch. This Garmin watch has been everything that I wanted. The battery lasts well over a week before you actually need to charge it. The fitness features are wonderful and easy to see on the app. The ability to still see text messages is a huge plus. All in all, this is exactly what I wanted and it has not disappointed.

Nice upgrade from FR245

I tried both the Venu and the FR 265s and found that for working out, this one is superior. I find the display bright enough for sunny days and the ability to switch between buttons and the touchscreen to work really well. I was hoping for a better use of the Garmin Coach but since I am not a runner, it is pretty useless. Otherwise, excellent features, great battery life and quick bluetooth and wifi connections. Very happy with this purchase!

Exactly what I needed

I switched to the Garmin 265S from a Whoop. I prefer the Garmin so much more. It still gives me all the info I need about my sleep, recovery and training readiness. But it also allows me to track my runs better and I love all the data I get about it. I'm currently using the included coaching function to train for a 10k and really enjoy it.

I upgraded from the Venu 2s to the Garmin Forerunner 265s & I love the features and data, especially for running! I would highly recommend for any runner, it's very helpful to see my data in regards to pace and recovery.

Love the screen and all the features!

Tried a couple other watches and everytime I kept coming back to this one. Not only is the screen beautiful but all the features are very worthwhile. Have really appreciated my morning reports as he allows me to understand how my body recovers and what to expect for the day. Also have liked the amount of customization the Home Screen has. Would recommend to others!

I love the watch and the features that come come with it. But be aware that it scratches very easily. Already have a noticeable scratch after two weeks of regular usage.

So far, so good!

I've had my new Forerunner 265S for about a month now and I've really been enjoying it. I had an older forerunner model, so it wasn't too difficult to get used to the menus and options. I like the morning summaries when I wake up so I know immediately how much/how hard I can workout that day. The sleep coach has helped me too! Otherwise, the workout features are great, the music is easy to connect, personalization was pretty easy to set up. The only thing I need to figure out is how to make the screen not go crazy when I wear it in the shower - basically every drop on the watch face triggers the touch screen. Super solid watch and upgrade from my 245!

It's perfect!

I changed my 255s music for the 265 a few weeks ago and it's not an upgrade, it's a change of league all around. From the display to the features, it just feels like a much more robust and stable watch. I had some problems with the 255s both in connectivity to the app and to external sensors but that hasn't been the case with the 265s. It's the watch I always wanted. Wished the battery lasted a little longer but can't have it all in such a lightweight small device.

Love the forerunner 265S

I am a fan of Garmin running watches! These are running watches with the ability to validate recovery, exhaustion, training readiness and sleep. I often wake up after sleeping 9 hours and feel exhausted. This watch will not only let me know the quality of my sleep and recovery but lets me know when I may feel tired etc. this watch is incredible! Excellent details of training knowledge. Only request of for smaller wrist band and better colors. I prefer the previous home screens as I was able to remove some info screens during the day. I love this watch for fitness data! I love the am report informing me of the quality of sleep. For someone who wants a fitness watch, this is my top pick over Apple or Samsung. Garmin makes a fitness watch with smartwatch capabilities. These notifications can be easily removed. My favorite data- body battery! This explains why you may have more or less energy during the day. Thank you Garmin!

Very useful

Still getting used to it. Very accurate and full of different functionalities but navigating through settings is haunting and sometimes overwhelming (I often find my self looking in youtube how to access or change some setting). Nevertheless, is the best gadget to really feel I am getting somewhere with running.

Great overall watch!

I've had this watch for 2 weeks, and I really love it. Lots of useful features, but simple and designed specifically for running. I especially like to see my training readiness. Gives good feedback on how I'm recovering! The watch is so lightweight I barely even notice it's on.

I bought this a month ago and I'm thoroughly enjoying it! It's such a nice relief to have a reliable watch after having a Fitbit. I love the stats that it gives me, especially since I exercise a lot. It makes me want to challenge myself.

Great features for runners!

I bought this watch about a month ago and love it so much better than my Apple Watch. The features for runners and coaching is perfect. The tracking feature is great and allows my wife to watch where I am at. And, the battery life is amazing. One a week charging is the best.

Excellent Runner's Watch

Couldn't be happier with this purchase. I had been using an Apple Watch 7 for everyday use and a Forerunner 35 for runs. The Apple Watch battery life became an issue and I wanted a running watch that had more features than the 35. After a ton of research I landed on the 265. It does everything my Apple Watch did (except play Apple Music) and the health and training features are fantastic. Oh, and the battery life is great too. I get 5-6 days on a single charge with the always in display and 12-14 without that on. This includes using it for about 30 minutes/day with GPS. The GPS connection is way faster than my old 35 and I haven't had any delays so far. Would definitely recommend

My first Garmin watch

I purchased this watch about a month ago and I'm happy I did. I was a prior Apple Watch user, but it was on its last leg. I wanted to take my runs more serious so I started to do my research. After some time reading and watching reviews, I decided the Garmin FR265 was the best fit for me. Battery life is crazy good! I would consider myself an average user of the watch and I charge it once a week (usually charge at 9-12%, I'm sure I can squeeze out a few more days if I wanted too)

Awesome running watch!!!

I've had other smart watches - the Forerunner 265 is BY FAR the best watch for runners! I only wish I'd listened to others and made the switch sooner. The data and tools it provides to help track overall fitness, give suggested workouts (based on upcoming races), keep you on pace, track sleep, etc. is awesome. The user interface takes a little getting used to - but after a few days, it's now easy to get around and to see the data/info I want/need. The display is bright and easy to read - and a perfect size to clearly show everything you want to see in a clean format. I also enjoy the morning report! The Garmin Connect app is easy to use and provides a great summary of everything I want to know to help improve my running. Very happy I made the switch!

Perfect with one exception

This watch really is the best watch specifically for runners. I love being able to see my live place, and the recovery suggestions are helpful. My one complaint is that the watch's calorie counts for anything other than exercise and rest are way off. I felt like my Apple Watch was great at calculating my non-exercise calorie burn, based on me eating the calories it said I burned and maintaining my weight easily. Unless I workout for over an hour, the FR 265 thinks I burn very, very few calories a day, even if I hit 10,000+ steps and never sit down for a break.

Great Features

Love this watch has hundreds of features. Heart rate works well and accurate. Having a hard time figuring out how to customize all the settings but you-tube videos help with it. Colors and display are easy to read and bright. Great watch so far hope it lasts.

I am absolutely obsessed with my watch. The way it looks, feels, how it works, the battery life! Everything so far has been great! I have been wearing it for almost a month and I don't have any complaints.
