Q: QuestionThe Garmin Forerunner 265 is described as 46mm but the screen size is 33mm. To what does the 46mm refer?

Asked 1 month ago by whinson.

• A:Answer As a user, I can say the 46mm refers to the size of the watch case, not the screen. The display itself is 33mm, but the 46mm is the full body of the watch. On the wrist, it feels well balanced and not oversized.

Q: QuestionWhy does the description state 46mm, but the two size choices are 1.3mm and 33mm? If 1.3mm is a typo and 1.3in = 33mm, is there actually a size choice?

Asked 2 years ago by DannyV3nd3tta.

• A:Answer There is no size choice. The 46mm refers to the watch case size, and 33mm (1.3 in) is the screen size. The 1.3mm listing is a typo.
