This watch is amazing! The best battery life ever, especially coming from the apple watch which I had to charge everyday... The AMOLED display is bright and crisp! And the amount of data it provides is awesome! This is my first Garmin and I'm sure it wont be my last.

Great watch!
I got this watch a couple weeks ago and it’s been amazing. This is my first Gammin watch and I didn’t know what to expect. With all that I know now I only wish I had gotten one sooner. I’m still learning how to use it, but it’s been 10 out of 10 so far

Best Watch Ever!!!
Hands down this is the best watch I've ever owned. I had the previous Forerunner 935 and have used the Fenix series and Apple watches in the past and this blows them all out of the water combined. Battery life is unbeatable, style is the best on the market, size is perfect, geek stuff inside the Garmin database is unmatched, the metrics are amazing, I can't say enough good things about this watch. Just get it already and for the price point you can't beat it!

So thin and I love the features!
I loved my Fenix6s but the 265s is so much thinner & lighter. I have enjoyed the bright screen and the improved training metrics.

Garmin support
My garmin stopped working and getting it fixed is such a painful process. The support team on the chat was rude and unhelpful.

It’s okay
Well I’m still struggle it’s so hard. I am trying to do add activities like Pilate I could not figure it out. Apple Watch is so easy accessible for me

Love it
I’m a huge fan of my watch! It replaced my Apple Watch and I really don’t miss anything from that. The connectivity to Strava and TrainingPeaks has been excellent. I love that I can start a workout with just a few buttons. The battery life is epic. It has more than enough features for my needs. I’m using it for marathon race training but it’s on my wrist 24/7 and I love all the sleep data and the morning report
From Garmin
Love it!
It's really a step up from my forerunner 35 I love it so far have had it for a month but the only complaint I have is it sometimes freezes up or doesn't turn in and I'll have to hold the light button for a decent amount of time.

Too complicated
For an athletes watch I find this Garmin so frustrating and annoying. No reception, not user friendly . I actually can’t stand this watch
From Garmin
The set up was tricky for me, but once it was paired it's been easy to use. I really like the touchscreen capabilities.

Love this watch!
This is my second Forerunner watch and I love it so much! I love all of the data that I can see on my watch and the race time predictions. I also love the morning report feature!

Fantastic Upgrade from the 245
I was not sure if I was buying this watch for the crisp clean look and graphics or if I truly needed the upgraded features. This watch has not disappointed. I have chuckled twice in the last 48 hours because once while at a soccer game it detected my abnormal heart rate which was spot on, and then again when driving in traffic!! Overall the improved running metrics and sleep options have provided me much needed awareness and its allowing me to improve in the areas I was lacking in my run. Lookin...
From Garmin
Love the screen
I won this watch at an event and was hesitant to use it over my Fenix 6s. I'm so glad I started using it, it's amazing, has lots of features and I think it's better than my old Fenix!
From Garmin
Great quality and features!
I love this watch! I've had the bulky galaxy watches that I would have to charge everyday. I wanted a good quality lightweight smartwatch that could last days before charge. Also meditation, yoga, and hiking were important along with the sleep tracker. I've only had this watch about a month, but it has everything I was looking for and some.
