    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 ).

    The battery life is actually long enough for this watch to track sleep for several days. The data and usability is far superior to my Apple Watch Series 8. The AW is decent a decent watch but this Garmin is a tool for those wanting to take training to the next level.

    Bought because I started running, chose over the apple watch because of the running features, heavier duty, more sweat resistant, should last me a long time

    Amazing AMOLED watch. Mid level watch that does everything you are probably used to. You’ll love how comfortable and light it is on your wrist.

    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.

    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.
