I updated my watch from the 245 to this and I love the new screen and extra features. Still love this watch works great and the battery lasts a while.

Solid 245 upgrade
Absolutely loving this watch! I bought it around a year ago as a replacement to my 245. While I primarily use it for hiking and cycling, it’s on my wrist pretty much 24/7. Love the smaller face compared to the standard size. I’d recommend to anyone from walkers to marathoners. Great beginner interface with tons of data on sleep, menstrual cycles, and overall health!

No accurate for sleep & poor connection to iPhone
The garmin looks better than my Apple Watch but it’s very glitchy with the connection to my phone and often doesn’t display weather and other metrics. Texts don’t come through reliably either

Love it
Great addition to my MTB kit. I have always shied away from wearing a watch, but the janky GPS signal from my phone when recording Strava made me consider a Garmin. Since I've gotten it, I've completely adopted it's functions into my life, and find great benefit from tracking my sleep quality, fitness metrics, HR, and more. It also serves as a great link to my phone, saving me the trouble of pulling out my phone every time I get a notification. Excellent product.

Great watch for running
The 265s has been extremely helpful and motivational in getting into a regular workout routine (from 0 to 3 workouts per week). The charts and metrics are helpful. Before I was always running race pace and not sticking with a set running plan. Now I use the running zones and try to stay in zone 2 or 1 for 80% of weekly workout plan so I get more running in and build up my endurance. Also, the watch allows you to setup interval runs and setup custom pace target ranges for your workout. For example on my easy run, I setup pace for 10 to 11 min per mile and it gives audible alerts in real time to you when going outside of target pace range while listening to offline music at same time. It also features a trainer program that builds a custom training plan for you based on an upcoming marathon, etc. The features I am using are barely breaking the surface of what is available on the watch. I rarely take time to write reviews but have been thoroughly impressed with this watch.
