    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.

    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!

    The watch is the perfect combination of buttons and touch screen. It is simple enough that you can figure out a lot of the functionality playing around with it. I love how quick the GPS is to ready. You also can't beat the battery life. Garmin also is excellent with displaying stats and items you would want to see. The only thing I can say negative is I wish there was better how-to guides on some of the features...

    My daughter absolutely loves this watch. She has the Whoop and liked it but was sick of paying a monthly fee. Decided she wanted this and loves it and it does way more and the charge last for almost 3 weeks. Also better than the Apple watch,,,,,

    Had an Apple Watch 7! Got tired of the battery draining after a long run. This garmin goes 5-6 days without charging. Great for running and everyday use. It’s a garmin!

    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.

    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.

    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

    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!
