Customer Ratings & Reviews

I recently switched from an Apple Watch to the Garmin Forerunner 265, and it’s honestly one of the best decisions I’ve made for my fitness and training goals. I was initially worried about the size difference compared to my 41mm Apple Watch, but the larger screen has actually been a nice upgrade and it doesn’t feel much bigger on my wrist at all. One of the biggest differences I noticed right away was the battery life. With the Apple Watch, I had to charge it every night, which always felt limiting. With the Forerunner 265, I easily get five to seven days on a single charge, even with regular GPS workouts and daily use. That alone has made a huge difference in how consistently I can track my progress and stay on top of my routine.

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.

I am absolutely in loveee with this watch! I started running more seriously about a year ago and started off with an Apple Watch. That one served me well, however, for longer distances and for keeping better track of your running training, this watch is the best! When you track your sleep, it changes your training according to how well you rested o as to not overexert your body.

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.

Best watch ever, played music, barley had to charge it and could set alarms on it.

I should have dumped my Fitbit for a Garmin years ago. The forerunner 265 does everything great. So much information! Some reviews knock the maps and route planning… I find what it does sufficient. The GPS works perfectly every time. The battery life is incredible. I wear all day and night and I’m getting 9/10 days out of a charge. The display is clear and easy to see in all lighting. Even for someone who needs readers! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

This product far exceeds anything the Apple has on the market. I spent a lot of time researching and comparing this watch with my old Apple Watch. To be honest, there really is no comparison. The Garmin far exceeds all of the Apple features with far more accuracy. Especially if you are a heart patient like I am and need to monitor heart function accurately during exercise, and throughout the day. I would definitely recommend this to anyone that is serious about their health and exercise.

I’ve really enjoy this over my old garmin and my app watch. Has everything I need/looking for in a fitness watch.

No more charging your watch at the end of every day. Battery life is incredible. The only downside I’ve found is the Garmin app on the phone, but the watch itself is great!

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

This watch is really comfortable to wear it. It is every easy to transfer the data from my old watch to it. The screen is brighter and clear.

I love the features and affordability of this watch.

The best watch l ever bought Very accurate and helpful in my everyday life style !!!

Excellent product, it has tons of features, is lightweight, and an excellent screen quality with this new Amoled

We bought it for my son 19 years old for Xmas, he love it, he is a gym addict, always counting everything, is perfect for him .

The 265 AMOLED screen is a big improvement vs. the 165. While it’s a bit pricey, it is very lightweight and has a accurate GPS.

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

This is an absolutely phenomenal watch for anybody that is an athlete or has an athlete in their house

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!
