OURSTANDING SMART WATCH
I bought my Garmin Forerunner 265 last month and I really love it . It is easy to see how I am doing at my run no matter if I am running at night or during the day time . My new watch is very accurate and it is easy to go back and compare my other runs .

All the Features I Need!
I had the Garmin Forerunner 245 and liked it very much. After it died (lasted nearly 6 years w/ daily, heavy use!) I briefly tried the newest Apple Watch and just couldn’t make the switch. It felt like Garmin was so much more intuitive. Briefly tried the Garmin Lily 2 Classic because I wanted something that looked more feminine and classy, which it did, but it wasn’t able to broadcast my heart rate to my bike trainer or track my activities independently of my phone. This Forerunner 265 is fantastic. It has everything I need, including a big face so I can read all the options easily even without my glasses, and it is organized intuitively, so I can find things simply. I highly recommend it!

Customer review from Garmin
too complicated
I am not so happy with the watch, is complicated to connect to other apps or devices, not easy to program and the metrics are not accurate, always differs from other devices. Pace is always different.

So Far, So Good!
I've only used it for three runs. Compared to my Apple Watch, I love the Garmin's button controls that make it easy to start, stop, and navigate. I'm still learning how to use the training features, and it did take some time for me to figure out how to sync my Spotify music. Overall, I like it. Just need more time to get comfortable with all its features.
