Good watch. Battery recharges pretty quick and it last a long time. It has a lot of functions and it tracks my workouts pretty well. I only wish it was a little more rugged. (Cool fact: You can change the display!)

Long lasting, super useful for runs and other work outs! I had an apple watch previously, and i do miss the texts and calls. But if thats not a big problem its so worth it! (You can receive texts but not respond) loove the charge on it, last me about 11-12 days before i need to charge it, and it charges in 20ish minutes probably even less lol You can take the time to really get to know the watch, but i just use the bare minimum

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.

Still use it very often has been something that helped me track my everyday activities, for someone that doesn’t have a watch 100% recommend, Best Buy as of recent.

some features hidden from paywall subscription and watch is a little overpriced but the body battery and stress metrics are very spot on!

This watch has taken my training to the next level! Excellent stats/metrics delivered daily to help you break your next record. Only downside is it cannot fully integrate with iPhone the way only Apple Watch can.

Lost one star because GPS isn't completely correct. All the metrics are great. Fits perfectly

The watch has many functions and sync w you phone is easy. Sleep app is great and navigating the watch is simple

Great watch for getting into running. Helps you with better statistics on running both hard, but more, importantly, smarter as well. Will help with my marathon training!

Coming from an Apple Watch, this FR265 has helped drastically with providing in depth running insights. It provides TONS of data around runs specifically, as well as training and recovery. The one thing I wish garmin did better was help you to make sense of all of the data. The UI isn't the smoothest, and it can definitely bog down when hot. If you are after a pure running watch, this is a great mid-tier choice that provides tons of features without the near $1k pricetag. If you are more interested in general fitness/smartwatch features, I'd recommend looking elsewhere

Great watch for runners; this watch has so many functions and tracks so many stats, it was a bit overwhelming to learn how to use it at first (first-time Garmin owner; former Fitbit watch owner). But after a while, I became more familiar with how it functions and now I love it.

I’ve never worn a watch before but this one feels good while wearing it at night and while running. The face got scratched already so be care while doing activities with it, otherwise I like the customization.

Has nice features but some stats are pretty inaccurate like calories burned so take that value with a grain of salt. Honestly, I only bought this because I wanted a fitness tracking watch that I didn't have to charge every day like my apple watch. Having a 1-2 week battery life is great.

Good watch for starting runners! Gives measurements in everything needed plus a great battery life and price

First time using a Garmin product. It gives good information for when I go biking, and has a lot of options. Took a bit getting used to my way around the watch, but pretty straightforward. The battery life is really good surpassing my previously owned Smartwatches both ( Apple/Samsung ).

works great! Got as a gift for my dad and he loved it, said it was great for running
DubNation Posted
Bought because I started running, chose over the apple watch because of the running features, heavier duty, more sweat resistant, should last me a long time
EsmeraldaF Posted
It’s more accurate on the times speeds and many more settings. I like it.

Great watch. A bit basic but syncs my workouts well
