Why We Like The Garmin Forerunner 265 Watch
When we're hungry for the podium, we train and race with the Garmin Forerunner 265 Watch. As soon as we open our eyes in the morning, the AMOLED touchscreen display uses less battery power to give us a crisper, clearer view of our metrics, including the night's sleep quality, the day's weather, and our current training readiness. The battery lasts up to 20 hours in GPS GNSS mode for reliable tracking of our long runs and races, while the training status rundown, personalized daily suggested workouts, and preloaded cross-training exercises keep us on course toward a new personal best.

A great upgrade for me!
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- 46mm
I like Garmin and have been using their devices for many years now. This new Forerunner 265 replaces an old 45 that I had for maybe 5 years or so, and it a completely different experience! This one (265) has so much more in terms of features, and also much better screen (with touch) and options. I’m really liking it so far, but have yet to really run it through its paces 😉. Looking forward to years of active use!

Great battery life!
Bought this in early January. I was an Apple Watch user before and made the switch because I was sick of having to charge my watch every day. Not only do I not have to charge this thing every day, I usually only have to charge it once a week or less! I work out every morning for 40-90 minutes so I'm getting good use out of it and even on longer runs the battery keeps up great! This is a great watch for distance runners who want to track their mileage, recovery and cross training. If you play golf, pay the extra money for the 965. I love this watch.

Works flawlessly & feature rich
I had an older forerunner that slowly lost battery life, and I replaced it with a Wahoo watch. I wore that long enough for it to feel normal but switched back to a the FR265. It's amazing how much better it is at everything - even things as simple as the fact that the FR doesn't get caught in my sleeve when I'm putting on clothes. Wayyy easier to quicky understand what I need to when looking at a workout screen. Much faster connecting to GPS. Great battery life. Comfortable. I was skeptical about the touchscreen UI but it rocks. And it just looks beautiful

Easy to setup and use
I love my Garmin 265. It is easy to set up and use, and the features are ideal for a marathon runner. I couldn't expect or want anything more. I highly recommend the Garmin 265.

Went above and beyond!
I've had the watch for 15 days now, and I'm really happy with the purchase. I had another watch whose battery lasted less than 15 hours, so I'm really impressed with the battery life of my new watch. Plus, I’d like to highlight how easy it is to use in everyday life.

New Best Friend!!
I’m about 3 weeks in with my new best friend and am loving all the features, especially the sleep coach and training coach. Can’t wait to run my big race with it in June.

Not user friendly
The lack of clear written instruction and challenges with connecting the Forerunner 265 to my android phone is giving me headaches. The watch is very confusing to use and I can't event get it to return to the base watch face in order to look at the time. Garmin needs to provide clearer instructions that are working in simple terms.

Good watch for basic triathlon
I asked for this watch for Christmas as an upgrade from my forerunner 165! I am very pleased with this watch and it is a bit more accurate and can do a bit more than my 165! Worth the upgrade for sure.
