Great all around watch
I’ve had the FR265 for about a month now—I switched from the FR165 after signing up for a triathlon and needing something that supports multisport mode. I love the bigger screen, better battery life, and the additional training metrics. I’ve been a Garmin user for a long time, and this watch really does a lot.

Great Sport Watch!
This is the fourth Garmin I’ve had in the last 14 years and it’s the best yet. I love the crisp display and customization options. Metrics are excellent.

Beach walking Forerunner
I previously had a Vicoactive which I liked. The Forerunner with the Amoloed display is a big improvement. Functionality is a little different but easy to pick up on.

Great features
I bought it a month ago and it’s been pretty good, I’m still learning how to use it. Before the 260 I was using the forerunner 45, it’s definitely an upgrade.

Great!
I bought this watch to motivate myself to exercise, such as running, going to the gym, swimming, and doing some cardio. I love how the entire operating system is very intuitive, and with the help of my trainer, it has been the perfect tool to leave my sedentary lifestyle behind.
