Very Impressed

No complaints, garmin goes above and beyond, i did some extensive research before getting this and was still surprised with all that is in this wach. It is my first garmin and won't be my last

Two Watches.

Purchased the Forerunner to help with tracking my activities and health because I was using my swim watch throughout the day. So now I have the swim watch for my swim activities and the forerunner for all other activities. The two watches don't match up with the amount of calories or heart rate information. I'm trying to figure out why.

Great Watch For Fitness Enthusiasts

I have long had an Apple Watch and I really liked it, in fact there are a few things I will miss… but Garmin Forerunner is a great watch for fitness. I’m a triathlete and this watch meets my needs. The watch itself looks great and has strong easy to clean band. The functionality of the watch is amazing and has so many great features. One of the best features is that once you register your watch Garmin gives you a very nice tutorial on how use the watch.

Love It!

This watch is a huge upgrade from my previous Forerunner 55. I love the screen. It is vibrant and bright. The dual band GPS is great as well. And the battery is always excellent with Garmin.

Very Useful Product

One month with my forerunner 265 has held up great for everything i need including the pool, runs , and notifications

My Forever Tracker

I have owned and used just about every major fitness tracker on the market over the years, and I was constantly frustrated by sensor lag, pairing issues, and having to manage multiple apps just to get my training data. I finally made the switch to the Garmin ecosystem and I'm never looking back. This is hands down my forever tracker. I paired it with the Garmin hrm-200 chest strap. The real time lag free heart rate accuracy during high intensity training is unwatched and the handoff between the watch and the strap is completly automatic and flawless. If you want a bulletproof reliable system that just works without the headache of constant troubleshooting this is the absolute gold standard.

Improved Lifestyle

Have had this now for about 3-4 weeks, and it’s been the best tool to help me understand how to maximize workouts, recovery, sleep, etc. I’m so much more in tuned with my body; couldn’t be more happy.

had a venu 3 for a year and the 265 blows it out of the water and is helping me reach my goals

Awsome

Great Value For The Money And Great Watch

The watch was a significant upgrade to other watches. It is critical to my health that I monitor my data and that it connected to Zwift. The watch has an excellent display and is easy to navigate for all the different data points. Particularly like the heart and sleeping monitoring methods.

Amazing Fitness Watch

Absolutely Love this thing. I use it every day, while I am running and to track my sleep and everything. It is extremely accurate, and I love how customizable it is. Definitely worth the money. I am thinking about upgrading for more features

Onboarding Is Terrible.

The onboarding is a pain. There is no clear path for ease of setup. I have to go to other forums and Google to solve the setup. But, there’s plenty of opportunities to pay for extra features. They make sure to let you know

Best Partner For My Runs

So happy with my Watch. Best partner on my runs 💪🏽
