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.

Love the watch, perfect for everyday and for better track your runs. It was a big stepup from my previous Garmin Vivoactive watch The battery life is great, it lasts around 15 days or even more if you need it by switching it to a low battery mode (in case you are traveling and forgot your charger). I've had it for 6 months already and it's still great :)

This is the best all on one watch. The battery lasts and it has every option I was looking for for fitness and sleep tracking. The price is also a good value.

Was a little hesitant to purchase due to price. However I needed a better way to track exercises and sleep while training for a mini marathon. So glad I made the purchase! Battery lasts for multiple weeks and I love all the features! It does have a touch screen, which I love but it did take some time to learn which buttons to press to control it. Comfort 10/10 I forget I’m wearing it sometimes and it never bothers me when I sleep! Update 7/1/2025: Still obsessed with this watch. Easy to use and holds a great charge. Love its accuracy and workouts❤️

I love this thing. I had not used a fitness tracker for at least 5 years after my last Garmin vivoactive battery got so bad that I had to charge it after every run (it still lasted several years). It has notably encouraged me to bike, walk, and run more. I'm a fan of smaller, more lightweight smart watches, so this one works perfect for me. I think it's kind of tailored towards women, but I'm a man and don't find it overly feminine looking. The screen technology has gotten so much better in the last 5 years, it's very bright and easy to read in high sun. Frankly, most of the Garmin watches are pretty pricey, but it's still good value for all the features it delivers. I haven't had any reason to doubt its accuracy. Love this thing!

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.

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.
