Exactly What I Needed
I’ve had the Garmin Forerunner 265 for about a week now, and I’m honestly blown away by how good it is. This watch is on another level. The amoled display is insanely sharp and bright, making it super easy to read during runs, even under direct sunlight. The build feels premium yet lightweight, which makes a huge difference for long training sessions.Setting it up was quick, and everything synced smoothly with the app. The GPS accuracy is excellent my routes are tracked perfectly without any weird glitches or jumps. I’ve already taken it on several runs, including a 15 km session, and the performance has been flawless. Heart rate, pace, VO₂ max estimates, and all the training metrics feel incredibly precise.Battery life is another big win. Even with daily workouts, notifications, and the bright screen, it still lasts impressively long. The watch also gives great insights into recovery, sleep, and overall readiness, which has helped me train smarter, not just harder.Overall, this is an exceptional watch for runners. It’s comfortable, accurate, feature packed, and genuinely motivating to use. Easily one of the best upgrades I’ve made for my training. Highly recommended.

Great upgrade, expensive, but worth it
We love our Garmin watches and this smaller face was perfect for my wife. She loves the look of it as a daily wear and finds the functionality and features for activities even better. It connected great to her phone and garmin provides fantastic data to look at after activities. The watch band color is a bit sharp and we’re definitely looking for a replacement, but that is simple and easy. The watch face is much brighter with the AMOLED screen.

An amazing fitness watch: accurate, motivating, and perfect for recovery tracking!
I absolutely love my Garmin watch! I play pickleball, do Pilates, and travel frequently, so I needed something reliable that could keep up with my active (and sometimes unpredictable) lifestyle.One of my favorite features is the Body Battery and recovery tracking. I have lupus and chronic fatigue, and this watch has truly helped me learn when to rest and when to push a little more. It’s not a medical device, but it gives you a great picture of your energy levels and recovery time, which makes a huge difference for people managing autoimmune conditions or simply trying to train smarter.It also tracks heart rate, stress, sleep, and workouts with impressive accuracy. The GPS is spot-on, and the interface is super easy to read, even in sunlight. Plus, it syncs quickly with the app and lasts several days on a single charge.Whether you’re an athlete, traveler, or just trying to balance health and recovery, this Garmin is absolutely worth it. 💪⌚

Legit One of the Best Running Purchases I’ve Made
I don’t usually bother writing reviews, but this watch made such a difference in my daily running that I figured it deserved one.The best feature by far: the training plans.You pick an actual local race, set your pace goal, and the watch builds a flexible plan that adjusts if you miss a day. No guilt and no stress. Rest days count as part of training, which is honestly huge. Most apps push you to do more even when you shouldn’t. This one treats resting like a workout. It kept me consistent without burning me out.It also surprised me with how good the strength training is. The watch gives you bodyweight-only routines with little animations that show you how to do each move. No guessing and no digging around the internet for videos. As someone who normally skips strength work, this was actually useful.Music is another win.I love being able to run with Spotify offline and leave my heavy iPhone 16 Pro at home. No calls or texts bugging me. Just my watch and my headphones. The only downside is that checking pace is slightly more awkward on the watch than when I used to run with my phone strapped to my hand. Tilting the phone up was more natural than twisting my wrist. Small thing but worth mentioning.The overall vibe of the watch: it feels like it was built by people who actually run.The pace targets make sense, the GPS is accurate, and the whole setup removes the mental load of planning and tracking. You don’t have to read a bunch of articles or piece together your own plan. You just follow what it gives you and go run.A couple small annoyances:1. When you finish a workout, there’s a weird delay before the save menu shows up. It makes you hesitate for a second.2. During time-based workouts, it isn’t super obvious that you actually started the prescribed workout. The second time I did it, I messed up and started a generic run instead. The only clue was that the pace gauge was missing.None of these issues are deal breakers. Just things I hope Garmin improves.Bottom line:This thing took away the mental clutter of training and helped me stay consistent. If you want a watch that supports real running without trying to be a mini phone on your wrist, the 265S is awesome.

Si vienes de otros relojes como el Forerunner 55, como era mi caso, la verdad si vas a ver una mejora impresionante. En cuestión de tamaño, a mi en lo personal no me gustan los relojes muy grandes y siento que este tamaño es perfecto para mi muñeca que es al rededor de 165 mm, pero creo que eso ya es preferencia de cada quien.Mide muchas más métricas que siento que les puedes sacar mucho provecho una vez que investigues bien como pueden ayudarte a mejorar tu rendimiento. Algo por lo que le gana de lejos al Apple Watch es la batería, la cual creo que es uno de sus puntos fuertes. Puede pasar una semana, dandole un uso todo el día, hasta para dormir, y aún tendrás batería.

Sitting in the middle if the Frontrunner range from Garmin, this is one serious aid for any runner. Yes, there might be functions you might not need, but the all the bells and wistles that you would need are there.Highly recommended.

As someone who used to wear an Apple Watch, switching to the Garmin Forerunner 265 has been a game-changer. I’m a passionate cyclist and train almost every day, and this watch gives me everything I was missing with Apple: accurate heart rate tracking (especially with a chest strap), better GPS battery life, and metrics that actually help you improve.The AMOLED screen is bright and beautiful, and the watch still lasts me 3–4 days with everything turned on — and 1–2 days even with long cycling sessions tracked. You can also optimize GPS settings to save battery when needed (which I do, since I record my rides on a Wahoo anyway).Health tracking is surprisingly solid. Sleep stages, recovery time, HRV — it all adds up and syncs well with Garmin Connect. I also use it day to day, and it’s comfortable enough to wear 24/7. Notifications, alarms, music — all there when I need them.If you’re into real training and want more than just “rings” and animations, this is for you.I highly recommend it to athletes or anyone who’s serious about fitness. One of the best decisions I’ve made.
