    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.

    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

    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.
