  • My husbands new obsession!
Color: Black and Powder Gray Size: 46 mm
I got this Garmin watch for my husband, and I swear he’s never loved a piece of tech more. He’s constantly checking his steps, heart rate, and sleep score like he’s training for the Olympics (he’s not). The GPS is super accurate, the battery life is amazing, and it tracks just about everything. It’s rugged, stylish, and packed with features—perfect for workouts, hikes, and even just everyday use. If your spouse is into fitness, data, or just cool gadgets, be prepared to lose them to this watch. 10/10 would buy again (but thankfully, I won’t have to because this thing is built to last). ... show more

  • Technology Supreme
Color: Black and Powder Gray Size: 46 mm
What you have on your wrist is a phenomenal computer with 100's of thousands of man hours in the writing of code and algorithms to take all the data from the sensors and turn it into a comprehensive health guide for physical fitness. And Garmin, along wth Polar and Apple and Suunto and all the other lesser known brands, have barely scratched the surface of the possibilities to harness computing power on your wrist. They haven't even begun to tie in AI to take the data and give you your own personal narrative for how to optimize your health and fitness. One could write a book on all the potential for this technology in this field. But as to the implementation...The menus need some work...Garmin Connect, where one can build an app and upload it to the watch to run weight lifting routines or HIIT exercises needs a very lot of work. It works but it's crude and basic. For instance, if you want to track HRR [Heart Rate Recovery] after an excercise you have to remember to hit stop immediately, hit the lower right button to gain access to a set of options and then scroll to track HRR over the next two minutes. All the while you are losing heart beats to count. Really? Why isn't that option in the GC app maker so you can add it to the app you are building? And why, when you do a repetitive set that has work-rest and you repeat that x number of times do they insist on ending with a rest period. The last period should be a work period. And why can't the tie their lame audio beeps to your phone where you can customize the sounds you want to hear when doing a HIIT routine, eg? But, for all my grousing, I love being able to track my sleep and quality of sleep, my HR, HRV, time to recover, quality of the workout, time in HR Zones, Anaerobic and Aerobic quality, Body Battery, Stress, Intensity minutes, Training Status, Training Readiness, etc. Too many things to mention. And I've just scratched the surface in learning how to use it over these last 5 months. I'm really excited about how they will integrate AI into this journey. I would love to have an AI bundled with the watch that I could talk to through my phone. Or have the Garmin Forerunner 256 be able to talk to me through Bluetooth to ear buds. ... show more

  • Great Running Smartwatch – Now at a More Realistic Price Point
Color: Black and Powder Gray Size: 46 mm
The Garmin Forerunner 265 is exactly what it claims to be—a high-quality running smartwatch that delivers on its promises. The features are spot-on for runners, with accurate GPS tracking, heart rate monitoring, and advanced performance metrics. It’s lightweight and comfortable to wear, even during long runs, and the battery life is impressive, lasting several days on a single charge. What I’m most excited about is that the price has finally come down to a more realistic level. It’s much more accessible now, but I still hope it becomes even more affordable in the future so that more people can enjoy the benefits of tracking their progress and boosting their motivation to stay active. Overall, it’s a fantastic product for runners and fitness enthusiasts. If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to pick one up, now is a great time! ... show more

  • Great watch for running
Color: Black and Powder Gray Size: 46 mm
The display is great, the heart rate sensor is accurate, the data is very thorough, and the custom workout suggestions are fantastic. It's very convenient that it lists out exactly what runs you need to do and when you should rest, highly recommend.

  • WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD
Color: Black and Powder Gray Size: 46 mm
As a Garmin and forerunner fan for over 10 years, this watch is everything I come to expect from them and then some! The ease of use is very easy to navigate for Garmin users. The fitness tracker stats are very good, the watch size is very good, not too big and not too small. The display quality is arguably the best of any Garmin I have ever had! The heart rate feature is very good and accurate! A definite improvement over previous models, but this is what I come to expect from Garmin. ... show more

  • Great upgrade from a Forerunner 235
Color: Black and Powder Gray Size: 46 mm
My Forerunner 235's battery was faltering after almost 6 years, a great run (pun intended)! I wanted to replace it, but saw the reviews for the 265 and decided to give it a shot. Not disappointed! The stats are better, the screen is easier to read than the transflective one of the 235, and it's just as reliable. The workout options are more varied and customizable. It looks great, and I like the strap better than the 235. The heart rate and pulse ox tracking seem very accurate, when comparing to trustworthy dedicated devices. The sleep tracking has been very helpful as well. I don't believe any fitness watch is great at delineating when you're in REM versus deep sleep, etc. But it's a very useful overview. You'll love the morning report! If you want a running, walking, all-around fitness watch with great features and reliability without breaking the bank, you won't regret this purchase. ... show more
