This is my first Garmin watch, and I’m very, very happy with it. I had a first generation Apple Watch many years ago and didn’t love it enough to repair or upgrade it when the crown malfunctioned. When I got a fitness tracker last year, it was a Fitbit which I really loved initially but eventually outgrew recently when I decided to focus a little bit more on running. I wanted better functionality for running, but I couldn’t foresee being able to adjust to the battery life of Apple Watch. I read many online reviews for Garmin watches, Fitbits, Apple Watch and Apple Watch Ultra. For my needs, I settled on the Forerunner 265S and have loved it. Priorities for me: easy to use for running, reasonably accurate GPS and heart rate tracking, battery life adequate for sleep tracking, watch face size appropriate for smaller wrists Pros: - love the user interface. Makes starting a run so easy. Touch screen is easy to use and the buttons are really functional. The display during a run is easy to read and intuitive. It used to drive me bananas when I glanced down at my wrist during a run to check my pace on my Fitbit Charge 6 and it would give me meaningless arrows of some vague significance or a symbols for my heart rate category, and all I wanted to see was actual run data at a glance. - love being able to choose or build workouts and have the watch give cues during the workout - love the metrics and data it gives (VO2 max, body battery, etc). Although I take them with a grain or salt, it’s fun and motivating to see - so easy to send my heart rate to my Peloton bike so I can see it on the screen. I set up one of the buttons on the watch to broadcast my heart rate, and it such a breeze now. - Battery life is great for my lifestyle. I usually throw it on a charger while I shower, but I know it can last days. - High quality materials. The watch feels substantial, and the silicone watch band is somehow better than other silicone watch bands I’ve worn. Cons: - Garmin doesn’t integrate well with Peloton, other than being able to send the heart rate over via ANT+. I knew this ahead of time and was ok with the limitation before buying the watch. My Peloton workouts don’t import into the Garmin Connect app. It seems like the options would be to add it manually as an activity or to use a 3rd party app. It’s not important enough to me since I’m focusing a bit more on outdoor running right now, but if my primary exercise regimen relied on the Peloton ecosystem on their workout machines, it would be probably a clunkier experience with Garmin. - Limited aesthetic options. I chose the Forerunner 265S for the functionality it offered (GPS, heart rate tracking) and the smaller watch face size, although I initially wanted a metallic casing. It was hard to justify the super high end Garmin models that have stainless or titanium casings for my needs, and the Venu and Vivoactive lines skewed more smartwatch than I was looking for in functionality, so I settled on the 265S, knowing it will always look like a sporty watch rather than have the versatility of looking a little bit more dressed up. - Doesn’t seem to have an option for the alarm to adjust to your sleep stage. I used to set my Fitbit alarm to wake me up during non-deep sleep, and I liked the idea of it. I don’t miss this feature though. I’m not sure how effective it was before anyway. Etc: for my needs, it does notifications and smartwatch functions just fine. I don’t need/want the watch to be a substitute for my phone (e.g., texting/calling). I don’t use the music function (wasn’t planning to) but could foresee the limitations in usability if I did since I mostly use Apple Music

Best fitness watch with some smart features. Definitely worth the money to track your fitness and health. Love the sleep tracking as well. Display is nice and bright. The battery life is a tremendous upgrade from my Apple Watch. Don’t think I’ll ever go back to Apple.

I switched from Fitbit to Garmin about a year ago, and I wished I'd done it sooner. I love this watch. Its comfy and stays put. The white and mint are a good color combo, and Garmins app and stats are FAR superior to Fitbit, in my opinion. This watch is not too bulky, which is something I really wanted to avoid. It holds a charge for several days. And I just upgraded to add a Road ID on my watch band. I'd def recommend Garmin for fitness tracking, and this watch specifically for runners and cyclists

Fantastic watch, I do not run anymore because of Long Covid and POTS, but it helps me track my health, including HR, sleep, HRV, etc… more accurately than Apple Watch! Love it! I just wish I could text to talk.

I originally had the Garmin Forerunner 245 in the past and I just couldn’t do it anymore because the screen just looked too dull for me. This new updated version of the forerunner is a game changer! They updated the metrics for the training status so that it’s better. The screen is updated instead of MIP it’s now AMOLED-giving it that beautiful look to it. My only complaint about the screen is that it doesn’t get bright enough outside or look as nice outside compared to my Apple Watch. I also still wish it could do all the smart things my Apple Watch can do but it’s ok the other stuff it has is worth it. I love that there is a smaller version of the 265 and a bigger one. I have the smaller one and it’s so light weight. The other thing I wish this watch would do is give me an accurate heart rate while running. For some reason whenever I run the watch moves or something because I would be out of breath and it would say I’m still in HR zone 3 when I know I’m probably in a zone 4! I had to buy a separate HR monitor because an accurate HR is important to me. There’s a raised part where it measures the heart rate and it’s a little uncomfortable compared to my Apple Watch where it sits flush to your skin. I do wish the bands were a little more soft but you can always buy a different one off market. I do like that everything is pretty much customizable. The sleep tracking aspect of it is pretty inaccurate as well I think this is a Garmin issue. It will almost always say I’m asleep when I’m actually awake in bed watching something. I compared my Apple Watch and my Apple Watch does 3 things better smart watch, sleep tracking, and heart rate. So, I can’t seem to get rid of my some watch totally. Therefore, I switch off between my Garmin and Apple. Garmin just has a wide range of fitness features and it’s a total game changer for me. Just wish they would improve on the few things I mentioned.

Long battery life. Easy to block notifications (annoyances) from phone. Exactly to-the-point for running or physical activity. Watch and bathroom scale link to Garmin Connect app to track mileage and fitness progress easily. It’s also great for tracking sleep and energy level, and it adjusts workout recommendations based on your activity. Lasts many days and charges faster than old models.

Good for use if you work out or run a lot. Not as easy to use as a time device, screen goes dark and you have to touch it to get it to give you the time. Does lots I don't need but works good.
