Great watch for running!

This is my third Foreunner watch. I bought this to replace my Forerunner 245 when the battery life was waning. I love how lightweight this one is- I was initially a little worried it would be too small but with the screen as clear as it is, the size is perfect! I’m training for the SeaWheeze half and NYC marathon so I’m glad I have a watch that can withstand the training cycles! There are so many features I’m not even using yet, so I know this one is a perfect watch for me to grow into.

Love it

Though I am still learning how to use the forerunner, I am very happy with my purchase. The watch has so many features that provide really interesting analytics. I also like how the watch is intuitive and how the goals and analyses adjust based on your wellness and performance. The battery life is also amazing.

Never Going Back to Apple

One month in and it's clear that I'm never going back to an Apple Watch again. Never thinking about the battery life, much more in-depth health and training metrics, lighter, better looking. This watch does everything I need and more!

Garmin 265S Feedback

I bought this watch for my first XC season in June 2025, and it has not once let me down. It went through one XC season, an indoor season, an outdoor season, and it's about to go through it's second XC season. It has tons of great features, lots of workout options, and overall a good watch for its price.

Perfect size for small wrists

Nice watch fits my tiny wrists just right. But it does not track endurance score.

Didn’t live up to its promise

I bought this as an update from my Vivoactive 4s because I wanted better swim tracking. It’s not very good in fact it’s worse than the older watch. If you’re a swimmer this is not for you.
