I replaced my AppleWatch with this one and have no regrets. I like the extra features for running workouts and the health measurements.

My new favorite watch. before this i had the Garmin instinct 2. It worked well and did the job. I did miss having an OLED display. That was the biggest thing for me. Finally made the switch and i was very happy. The watch faces look very clear and crisp. I tend to work out for about 30 min to an hour every usually walking, jogging or hiking. It last about 8 to 10 days. If I use it lightly it would last me about the 12 to 14 days. with about 5% battery left. i tend to charge it every 7 days and it ends up being form 45% to 55% and again that's just on how I use it. I get all notifications like I would on any other smart watch which is nice also.

I worn this watch every day after my purchase for 2 months now and absolutley love it. I made the switch from apple to garmin and could not be happier. I only charge it once every 2 weeks compared to every night. Also, I love the garmin coach that helps walk me through workouts which comes with the watch to help me achieve my running goals.

If you need a watch to run and want to store your music on your wrist. This watch allows you to leave your phone at home. Great GPS and training app to upload run data.

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.

Excellent for running. This garmin does an amazing job with all of the running biometrics. It will also record other data but its main job is running and it does it perfectly. Maybe a tad big if you have a smaller wrist.

Great watch. I had an Apple Watch SE which I liked but for running I definitely prefer this new watch. I’m still learning how to use it. Great sleep data and letting me know how ready I am for the next session and workouts.
