    I needed a watch that could accurately track my runs AND swims. Had an Apple watch series 9 before and it sucked in the pool. The days of battery life + the new screen make it very visually appealing and long lasting.

    I debated between this watch and the 965, and decided on this one because I only run, I don’t do other sports. I have not regretted the decision

    Has nice features but some stats are pretty inaccurate like calories burned so take that value with a grain of salt. Honestly, I only bought this because I wanted a fitness tracking watch that I didn't have to charge every day like my apple watch. Having a 1-2 week battery life is great.

    Analyzing a highly beneficial sport like running with a science-based watch and creating a training plan accordingly is, in my opinion, extremely important, and this watch fulfills that training system very effectively.

    The Garmin Forerunner 265 has been a game-changer for my running, workouts, and daily activities. Its accurate GPS tracking and heart rate monitoring keep me on top of my running stats, while the training metrics help optimize my performance. I love the customizable data screens, making it easy to monitor everything from pace to cadence during my runs. The smartwatch features like notifications and sleep tracking are a nice bonus for everyday use, and its lightweight design makes it comfortable to wear all day. It's a solid choice for any active lifestyle!
