Amazing!
I bought my Garmin about a month ago, and it has been great! Battery life is as promised, and I’ve been loving the sleep feature. I don’t notice it at all at night! I had been ready to get rid of my Apple Watch and this has been amazing. I use it mostly for my runs and am happy to not be receiving all of the Apple notifications I was getting on my previous watch. This is a great health and workout focused watch. Highly recommend!

Garmin 265 Watch
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.

Great workout watch with great features
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.
