My new favorite watch. before this i had the Garmin instinct 2. It worked well and did the job. I did miss having an OLED display. That was the biggest thing for me. Finally made the switch and i was very happy. The watch faces look very clear and crisp. I tend to work out for about 30 min to an hour every usually walking, jogging or hiking. It last about 8 to 10 days. If I use it lightly it would last me about the 12 to 14 days. with about 5% battery left. i tend to charge it every 7 days and it ends up being form 45% to 55% and again that's just on how I use it. I get all notifications like I would on any other smart watch which is nice also.

So I bout this for my fit journey. Battery life is good. I can go for a week without charging it. I did put it on sleep mode. Where the watch goes on battery saving mode. If it’s on saving battery mode probably can go over a week. I say to watch a video on how to use the garmin . So you can understand everything that is on there. I do love my watch. Like I said using it for my fitness journey.

I've been an Apple user for a long time; however as I train for my first and hopefully many marathons, it was to try a Garmin so I did. I was going to get the basis 165 Forerunner but decided on the 265 after doing some comparison and research. I can honestly say, I'm still getting use to it but it was WORTH the change. I'm happy I invested in the Forerunner 265.

Great functions and a single charge takes 1 hour to fully charge and last for at least 2 weeks Great watch if you’re an active person

It is not my watch but, for my boyfriend he loves seeing his sleep pattern as well being able to customize his wallpaper to see his heart rate and steps throughout the day. Perfect for someone who’s always on the go!

I worn this watch every day after my purchase for 2 months now and absolutley love it. I made the switch from apple to garmin and could not be happier. I only charge it once every 2 weeks compared to every night. Also, I love the garmin coach that helps walk me through workouts which comes with the watch to help me achieve my running goals.

I run every day. I bought this watch to train for a half marathon. It's timely with alerting when my heart rate or pace goes out of range of training. It stays on for almost two weeks without a charge - the biggest reason I got it over the Apple Watch. The downside is that it's not accurate with the pace sometimes.

This is awesome value for money! It's simple and seamless to use. While not top of the line it pairs with my CooSpo heart monitor and Stryd Duo 5.0 to provide me with great coaching/training info.

Easy to use and provides all metrics and insights needed for a healthy lifestyle. I love that you can update the watch face to your personal tastes.

I have had it for a month now and love it. It took a bit more than an Apple Watch to set up but it’s great. It seems to track steps and heart rate better than a standard IPhone. They make tracking workout way easier too. The battery last two weeks on one charge.

The Garmin Forerunner 265 is a good watch to own. I especially enjoy the distance traveled, pace, and heart rate that is applied to all physical activities. When lifting weights, it counts how many reps you have completed per set. The screen is a nice color that can be seen from afar and is not painful to see in the dark. I enjoy the messaging feature where I can see my texts and emails without having to check my phone. I mostly use it for swimming where I can track total laps, distance, and more. The sleep function reminds you how much rest you're getting and I have to say I agree with it, so far I’ve been enjoying the consistent reminders to get more rest. I would have enjoyed the map features when hiking and extra battery life but for an extra $150 dollars I did not see the point. I am enjoying this product.

If you need a watch to run and want to store your music on your wrist. This watch allows you to leave your phone at home. Great GPS and training app to upload run data.

Great watch. I had an Apple Watch SE which I liked but for running I definitely prefer this new watch. I’m still learning how to use it. Great sleep data and letting me know how ready I am for the next session and workouts.
