    Liked everything about this watch. Would 10x’s more recommend this instead of another Apple watch mainly dur to the fact it gives me approximately an 18-19 day battery life between charges.

    First time using a Garmin product. It gives good information for when I go biking, and has a lot of options. Took a bit getting used to my way around the watch, but pretty straightforward. The battery life is really good surpassing my previously owned Smartwatches both ( Apple/Samsung ).

    Went from the Venu to the Forerunner 265. I really like the brighter screen. The interactive voice prompts help me stay on pace. I love the morning report that lets me know about my sleep and training readiness. Only Garmin for me.

    I LOVE This watch, the only thing that gets frustrating is the lower button on the right side of the watch—it always opens up the types of workouts if bumped

    Great watch for runners; this watch has so many functions and tracks so many stats, it was a bit overwhelming to learn how to use it at first (first-time Garmin owner; former Fitbit watch owner). But after a while, I became more familiar with how it functions and now I love it.
