    I never take this thing off besides charging. Absolute beast of a machine. I love having the ability to take it on vacation with no issues.

    The Forerunner 265 has been a huge upgrade over the Apple watch. It tracks more metrics and lasts up to 2 weeks on a single charge which has been a game changer for tracking physical activity. It also has a great range of activities to choose from to track.

    Excellent Garmin watch for an amazing value! From running every week to every day use, I love the stats of this watch and long battery life. Can also automate with Strava and just enjoy!

    Got this as a gift for my husband who was training for his first marathon. He loves it! The fit, the features, the battery life! He loves to tell me “I haven’t charged it in a few days and it’s still going.” It definitely helped motive him more and keep track of his training.

    My son loves it! This was a great purchase from Best Buy! Not the typical smart watch - looks great and does everything a college athlete would like for it to do!

    This is a true running tool. The data is accurate and far more detailed than other brands. I used to have to carry my phone with my prior smartwatch to get semi-accurate GPS data, this watch is perfectly accurate on it's s own. I am using the Garmin connect to develop a training plan which so far has been very helpful. Garmin clearly makes the best watch for runners.

    It's really an investment in your health. Besides of tracking your daily routine and activities, you'll be able to monitor your sleep and take actions to stay healthy when it comes to recover and move forward with your family.

    Very easy to use. Not a busy screen like the apple watch. I like this watch very much. Battery lasts about 13-14 days from full down to like 7%.
