If you need a watch to run and want to store your music on your wrist. This watch allows you to leave your phone at home. Great GPS and training app to upload run data.

The Garmin Forerunner 265 is a good watch to own. I especially enjoy the distance traveled, pace, and heart rate that is applied to all physical activities. When lifting weights, it counts how many reps you have completed per set. The screen is a nice color that can be seen from afar and is not painful to see in the dark. I enjoy the messaging feature where I can see my texts and emails without having to check my phone. I mostly use it for swimming where I can track total laps, distance, and more. The sleep function reminds you how much rest you're getting and I have to say I agree with it, so far I’ve been enjoying the consistent reminders to get more rest. I would have enjoyed the map features when hiking and extra battery life but for an extra $150 dollars I did not see the point. I am enjoying this product.

Garmin 265 is best watch to buy with this price, considering triathlon mode available. For beginners aspiring next level of running and triathlon, makes easy choice with this price. All modes working well and didn’t see any issue. Tried running, swimming, cycling, give better results. Well Garmin 265 is awesome choice

Excellent for running. This garmin does an amazing job with all of the running biometrics. It will also record other data but its main job is running and it does it perfectly. Maybe a tad big if you have a smaller wrist.
I would recommend this to a friend

Best watch for fitness hands down!! I would recommend this watch to anyone who runs or works out. Better than the Apple Watch

Great watch. I had an Apple Watch SE which I liked but for running I definitely prefer this new watch. I’m still learning how to use it. Great sleep data and letting me know how ready I am for the next session and workouts.

My previous watch was a 645. The 265 has a much brighter display and easier to navigate menu. The adaptive coach training program has been really helpful. I really like the night mode which dims the display so as not to blind you in bed.
