    Best watch I honestly ever had, making the transition from Apple to Garmin was honestly & genuinely the best decision I made in terms for electronics. I train everyday & the fact that the watch can record your sleep & give accurate results for sleeping & running it’s a blessing

    Love this watch! It the best watch by far that I’ve ever owned. I’ve tried them all. The screen is the best, the tracking of workouts is great. Really good in the pool, on my bike and during a run!

    I was looking for an upgrade from my 5+ yr old Vivoactive 3 while staying in the Garmin ecosystem. After comparing features to cost this was a really compelling buy especially when it went on sale. I use it mostly for running. The screen is really bright and sharp. The GPS locks on quick with minimal drift. Battery life is around as advertised. It keeps track of performance and health stats galore. The touch screen has no lag. After 2 months with 2-3 outside runs/week, its race predictor is still too optimistic at all distances. Its VO2 max seems a few points higher than expected. The glass got some micro scratches when I stored it together with keys. Definitely get screen protectors. After putting one on it hid the scratches completely. Overall, this is a great fitness watch.

    The Garmin Forerunner 265 is excellent. I love the accurate built-in GPS and detailed analytics. It's lightweight and comfortable, even while running or sleeping. Highly recommended, especially for active users.

    I got this as a gift for my boyfriend and he absolutely loves it. He says it has helped him track his sleep schedule and has been a great addition to his workouts. If you are looking for a gift for someone who loves being active this is it.

    Garmin Forerunner 265 46mm

    I recently switched from an Apple Watch to the Garmin Forerunner 265, and it’s honestly one of the best decisions I’ve made for my fitness and training goals. I was initially worried about the size difference compared to my 41mm Apple Watch, but the larger screen has actually been a nice upgrade and it doesn’t feel much bigger on my wrist at all. One of the biggest differences I noticed right away was the battery life. With the Apple Watch, I had to charge it every night, which always felt limiting. With the Forerunner 265, I easily get five to seven days on a single charge, even with regular GPS workouts and daily use. That alone has made a huge difference in how consistently I can track my progress and stay on top of my routine.

    This product far exceeds anything the Apple has on the market. I spent a lot of time researching and comparing this watch with my old Apple Watch. To be honest, there really is no comparison. The Garmin far exceeds all of the Apple features with far more accuracy. Especially if you are a heart patient like I am and need to monitor heart function accurately during exercise, and throughout the day. I would definitely recommend this to anyone that is serious about their health and exercise.
