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.

You won't be disappointed
I've had this watch for a year now and would be hard-pressed to use anything else but Garmin. The GPS is accurate and picks up quickly. The bells and whistles for this are great for beginners and seasoned runners/athletes. could not ask for a better experience.

Great watch - packed with useful features!
I bought this watch a few weeks ago and I am very pleased with the design and many useful features. I have owned several Garmin watches over the years, all were good, but I believe this one is the best. It was easy to upload my previous settings from Garmin Connect, and the watch operates flawlessly. The AMOLED watch screen is bright and colorful. The best I have ever seen. The battery life is great! Better than all previous models I have owned. I’m very pleased with my purchase.

Great watch
For the price this is the best watch to get, it gives me all of the data that I need. Along with a battery life of about a week depending on if I run or not. The only downside is the band that chafes my skin a little bit when it’s wet, so the rubber isn’t super comfortable all of the time. This is an easy fix though as garmin sells other bands. I would definitely recommend this to most people looking for a less expensive longer lasting and more fitness oriented Apple Watch.

Mixed review
I like the fit. The band is comfortable and it works great as a stopwatch. It doesn't appear to measure the distance well for aquatic sports, such as swimming, nor indoor sports. Maybe GPS gets blocked by the roof.

Great watch, poor documentation
Watch is fantastic. Trying to figure some of the features out is difficult. Either the process has changed, or who ever wrote the manual didn’t have the watch because it is not correct
