    Amazing! Love my Garmin watch! I got it specifically for running purposes and it’s been amazing. The fact that I can connect my Beats Pro Earphones to the watch itself and listen to my music (no need to carry my phone) is a plus. Durable and scratch resistance!

    I was looking for a nicer sports watch without breaking the bank (some of these smart watches are over $1,000). This has been very easy to set up, use with very good battery life. Its strange only charging your watch every couple of weeks after being so used to charging almost every day.

    Must have for running, less so as a smartwatch

    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

    Got the 265 to start training for a half marathon. I wear it virtually everyday and at night. I also use it for swimming and strength training. The watch gives great analytics and suggestons for training. Battery life is amazing typically lasting around a week. I highly reccomend if you’re starting a training journey for running, swimming, triatholons, etc. this watch can do it all!

    The watch does everything you could ask for it to do and more. Has a bit of a learning curve when you first buy it but it is great once you get it down. If you are looking for a sport watch, great option, but if you want a lifestyle watch i would say just get an apple watch.

    This app tells you everything you need and more! Gives you suggestions based on how much you should run, focuses on training routines (V02 Max, Weight Loss, etc), and even tells you your sleep patterns. Definitely worth buying especially if you're a long-distance runner!

    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.
