The watch is great. I didn’t think I’d like the touch screen but it’s not actually been an issue with the screen changing accidentally. I think the display is much easier to see than the old OLED screen for the 255s. Overall it was a worthwhile upgrade. Very easy decision. Just hope they keep the pink colors for future products! Battery life is great and screen is less susceptible to scratches than old version.

This is the best running watch for beginners or intermediate runners. It is lightweight so you can wear it to sleep to track the quality of your sleep. It doesn’t weigh down your wrist while running. It tell you how your energy levels are throughout the day and recommends workouts depending on your training goals. The best part is perhaps its performance analysis. It breaks down for you how you’re progressing on your training in such detail, it makes it easier to adjust accordingly. Best purchase I have made for my running days.

I recently started using the Garmin Forerunner 265S GPS Smartwatch, and it has quickly become an essential part of my daily routine. The watch is not only stylish with its black and light pink color combination, but it's also packed with features that make it perfect for both fitness enthusiasts and everyday users.
**Design and Comfort:**
The 42 mm size is just right for my wrist, providing a sleek look without being too bulky. The fiber-reinforced polymer case feels durable yet lightweight, which makes it comfortable to wear all day, whether I'm at the gym or running errands. The light pink accents add a nice touch of femininity without being overly flashy, which I appreciate.
**Performance and Features:**
The Forerunner 265S is a powerhouse when it comes to tracking fitness activities. The GPS is incredibly accurate, even when running through dense urban areas or on forest trails. It quickly locks onto my location and provides real-time data on distance, pace, and elevation, which has been very helpful for my training sessions.
Additionally, the heart rate monitoring and sleep tracking features are detailed and easy to understand. I love how the watch provides insights into my sleep patterns and suggests ways to improve my rest and recovery. The built-in sports apps and customizable workouts have been a great way to keep my training fresh and challenging.
**Battery Life:**
The battery life on the Forerunner 265S is impressive. Even with regular GPS use and activity tracking, the watch easily lasts several days on a single charge. This is a huge plus, as I don't have to worry about constantly recharging it.
**Connectivity and Smart Features:**
Pairing the watch with my smartphone was a breeze, and the smart notifications are convenient for keeping me updated without needing to check my phone constantly. I also enjoy the music controls and the ability to store songs directly on the watch, which is perfect for runs when I want to leave my phone at home.
**Conclusion:**
Overall, the Garmin Forerunner 265S GPS Smartwatch is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a reliable and stylish smartwatch that excels in fitness tracking. Its combination of durability, advanced features, and sleek design makes it a standout option in its category. I highly recommend it to anyone in the market for a high-quality GPS smartwatch.
