New to garmin from apple
The package came with very little “how to” and coming from apple was a big change. I have been learning slowly how to use it better for my needs. But the battery lasts a many days! I don’t always ware it in the shower so I do charge it some at that time. Charged up VERY QUICKLY. I have used it for yoga, meditation, running in and out doors, sleep tracking. And I love it. I can’t read text messages with it and I believe it’s because I have an iPhone. But I didn’t want it to keep up with texts I wanted to see what I needed to work on to be stronger and healthier. Still have a lot to learn. And I will test out the swim in the Summer. Band is comfortable easy to clean. I work nights and I like that I can set my sleep hrs accordingly to that. The touch screen is very pleasing and you can customize it as well. The safety to let people know you are safe is nice as all. And it has a live track, although I have not used that. I had to learn the hard way the two settings for treadmill cause it will not track your miles if you just hit run. Just a learning curve nothing I would say is a negative for me. Used for about a month now Hope this helps

Garmin 265s
I was looking to replace a Garmin Forerunner 35 with a more advanced option. My main priorities in a new watch were the availability to upload basic maps and listen to music directly from the device. I love my Garmin265s. It provides detailed analysis of activities in a small package and has a bunch of other fun features to add to the daily menu. It helps me to be more consistent and I love using the heart rate data (even though I know chest and arm monitors are more accurate). It's great for what I need it for! The option to create custom breadcrumb GPS maps or plan a workout on my phone and then send it to the device is fantastic. My only cons are that the glass got a decent scratch in it, so I put a plastic protector over the watch face, and the battery life lasts about a week - less if you're running maps and music of course. Love this Lil watch!

A great upgrade!
I upgraded to this watch from my trusty Forerunner 245, which I had had for 2.5 years. The extra metrics like the Training Readiness and the new AMOLED screen are what really sold me. The touch screen is a really nice feature that I didn't expect to like as much as I do. I have a pretty small wrist, and am glad I opted for the 265s over the standard size. This is a great watch for anyone, beginner to expert level. If you're thinking about upgrading, this is so worth it!

The battery life is amazing. It works great for tracking workouts. One of my favorite features is the suggested daily workouts based on specific races, and you even get scored on how well you stick to each specific workout.

Perfect for me.
Easy to read and easy to navigate through the different pages. I really struggled to make use of most of the features with my last watch due to me finding it difficult to navigate and find what I was looking for. The Garmin 265 does everything I want, AND it's laid out in a way that I can find my way through all the pages and options. Love having a wallet on my watch in case I need to stop for some snack while on a long run or ride!!

Best Value High Performance Running Watch
Great size and weight. I am a high performance middle distance athlete and I wear this watch everyday including to sleep. Garmin gives valuable insight into my training and recovery with their different data points. This is really all you need if you run track or do triathlons. The watch doesn't have map functionality but 99% of the time I don't need it anyway. GPS snaps to track for specific track work activities. Has great User Interface for start/stop/splits.
