Customer Ratings & Reviews

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!

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.

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.

This was a gift for our son. He loves it. Works great and has very good battery life.

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

Excelent for running. GPS is perfect. Confortable and the battery is lasts a ling time. Good with music.

Works great and the battery life is amazing. I can go for over a week before needing to charge it.

Great product. Easy to use. GPS so accurate. Better than other running watches

Best watch I honestly ever had, making the transition from Apple to Garmin was honestly & genuinely the best decision I made in terms for electronics. I train everyday & the fact that the watch can record your sleep & give accurate results for sleeping & running it’s a blessing

The gos tracking does very well. Highly reccomend this watch. Sleep tracking is a big plus.

Product is pretty nice no issues so far. Has a lot of nice features.

Bought this so i could track my sleep and activity. So far it's great!

I was looking for an upgrade from my 5+ yr old Vivoactive 3 while staying in the Garmin ecosystem. After comparing features to cost this was a really compelling buy especially when it went on sale. I use it mostly for running. The screen is really bright and sharp. The GPS locks on quick with minimal drift. Battery life is around as advertised. It keeps track of performance and health stats galore. The touch screen has no lag. After 2 months with 2-3 outside runs/week, its race predictor is still too optimistic at all distances. Its VO2 max seems a few points higher than expected. The glass got some micro scratches when I stored it together with keys. Definitely get screen protectors. After putting one on it hid the scratches completely. Overall, this is a great fitness watch.

Love this watch! It the best watch by far that I’ve ever owned. I’ve tried them all. The screen is the best, the tracking of workouts is great. Really good in the pool, on my bike and during a run!

I love this watch. It tracks everything I need for staying up to date on my health. I personally love the sleep tracking, calorie tracking, and the way it is training me on my runs. 10/10. Don’t think. Just buy.

Love this product. Great battery life and very comfortable

The Garmin Forerunner 265 is excellent. I love the accurate built-in GPS and detailed analytics. It's lightweight and comfortable, even while running or sleeping. Highly recommended, especially for active users.

This watch is amazing. It’s not the most expensive Garmin watch on the market, but it does everything you could ever want without having to get a dedicated phone plan. My husband loves it. Definitely recommend.

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.

Best watch ive owned, had apple watches before but thsu garmin clears everything especially with tje battery life and consistent health tracking. Love it, will recommend
