Customer Ratings & Reviews

The battery life of this device is exceptional, particularly when compared to the Samsung Galaxy Watch and Apple Watch. Having previously owned three different Galaxy Watches, I can confidently state that I will not be returning to that brand after experiencing the Garmin. Although the interface is distinct, it is remarkably intuitive and user-friendly. This device effectively fulfills my requirements for fitness tracking, smartphone notification management, and timekeeping. I would highly recommend it to individuals seeking a fundamental smartwatch for monitoring basic workouts, vital signs, notifications, telling time.

Works very well and has a long battery life. Good watch.

Great product! Would definitely recommend this for people getting into fitness. Been using this to train for half marathon and it’s been great!

Amazing! Love my Garmin watch! I got it specifically for running purposes and it’s been amazing. The fact that I can connect my Beats Pro Earphones to the watch itself and listen to my music (no need to carry my phone) is a plus. Durable and scratch resistance!

I purchased this for my son as a Christmas gift and he absolutely enjoys his watch

Solid watch. I loved how light it was I’ve been going with Garmin for the last 10 years and they never disappoint. They didn’t miss with this one

I was looking for a nicer sports watch without breaking the bank (some of these smart watches are over $1,000). This has been very easy to set up, use with very good battery life. Its strange only charging your watch every couple of weeks after being so used to charging almost every day.

Coming from an Apple Watch, this FR265 has helped drastically with providing in depth running insights. It provides TONS of data around runs specifically, as well as training and recovery. The one thing I wish garmin did better was help you to make sense of all of the data. The UI isn't the smoothest, and it can definitely bog down when hot. If you are after a pure running watch, this is a great mid-tier choice that provides tons of features without the near $1k pricetag. If you are more interested in general fitness/smartwatch features, I'd recommend looking elsewhere

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.

Unfortunately, I had issues with the HRV sensor during workouts, so I returned it to the store without any inconvenience. The battery life is decent, and it offers a wide range of features that may still be useful.

Got the 265 to start training for a half marathon. I wear it virtually everyday and at night. I also use it for swimming and strength training. The watch gives great analytics and suggestons for training. Battery life is amazing typically lasting around a week. I highly reccomend if you’re starting a training journey for running, swimming, triatholons, etc. this watch can do it all!

Have loved this watch! Battery life is amazing! Love the features and helps me hit my goals! Great value for the price!

This app tells you everything you need and more! Gives you suggestions based on how much you should run, focuses on training routines (V02 Max, Weight Loss, etc), and even tells you your sleep patterns. Definitely worth buying especially if you're a long-distance runner!

The watch does everything you could ask for it to do and more. Has a bit of a learning curve when you first buy it but it is great once you get it down. If you are looking for a sport watch, great option, but if you want a lifestyle watch i would say just get an apple watch.

Bought this as a gift for my son, who is a runner in high school. He is getting even more out of his workouts because of it and is pushing himself even harder. The battery lasts forever in this watch (several, several days). A worthy purchase.

Got this watch because I go on runs often because of the military. It’s a great watch and it’s very durable

Love all the features! This is my first smart watch and I don't know why I waited so long to get one. I love how it helps me sleep better and keep track of my workouts.

I got this as a gift for my boyfriend and he absolutely loves it. He says it has helped him track his sleep schedule and has been a great addition to his workouts. If you are looking for a gift for someone who loves being active this is it.

Battery life (at least after the first few weeks) is outstanding and it's so easy to see. GPS works great and gives some good tips, too. It's an incredible running watch at a fair price.

Love the watch, great for advanced running. Keeps me on my toes and motivated!
