Has TONS of Features
I bought this first sports watch several weeks ago. It has tons of features, many of which I will probably never use. However, the ones that I do want to use provide lots of valuable information. I immediately downloaded the owner's manual and have been slowly working through it to learn how it works. I am thrilled with the purchase and thoroughly enjoy the data it provides.

Best smartwatch I've owned.
Battery life on the 265 is amazing. Can go 10-18 days on a single charge (depending how many watch features im using). I use the watch mostly to track my runs.

Awesome upgrade from the 245
I had my Garmin 245 for 3 years and really wanted to upgrade to something with a color display and touchscreen. After months of researching I decided to go with the 265. The battery life is awesome and the large bright screen makes seeing my data while running so much easier!
From Garmin
Perfect upgrade!
I have been a Garmin fan/user for over 2 years and have loved my Forerunner 255-but it was time for an upgrade. The AMOLED display was a must and the extra features on the 265 were a perfect upgrade.

awesome watch
earlier this year I found screen damage to my forerunner 945 but it was out of warranty so support said they could give me a percentage off if I traded it in. the 265 I ordered has been not just as good but so much more...I dont think there are any features that the 945 had that i can't find on the 245...the new color watch face is awesome and I can even see who is at my door right on my watch from my ring doorbell...I am so happy with this purchase!!!

Pacing
I would love if instead of by 5 sec. The Garmin pacing was in accurate time
From Garmin
Exactly what I needed and more!!
I had other brands but I decided to go with this Garmin. I’m, obviously, not a pro athlete but I’m still an athlete and I got more of what I expected.

Best all rounder
All the features you need! Used for running, biking, soccer, yoga, skiing. Maybe the same as 965 but just a smaller package

1st time Garmin owner/user
As a first-time smartwatch user and novice runner, I've been thoroughly impressed with the Garmin Forerunner 265. This watch has proven to be an invaluable training companion as I've embarked on my new running regime. One of the standout features for me has been the comprehensive fitness tracking capabilities. The large, easy-to-read display provides clear real-time metrics on pace, distance, heart rate, and more during my workouts. The GPS functionality is highly accurate, giving me reliable...

Levels you up !
A month ago bought the Forerunner 265 upgraded from an Apple Ultra 2. Felt like the ultra was missing a lot of features that I need to level my fitness up and help me train for half marathon. I couldn’t be happier with its battery life and also its features that come with it. Has given me insights into my health.
