Review: Exactly What I Needed - I’ve had the Garmin Forerunner 265 for about a week now, and I’m honestly blown away by how good it is. This watch is on another level. The amoled display is insanely sharp and bright, making it super easy to read during runs, even under direct sunlight. The build feels premium yet lightweight, which makes a huge difference for long training sessions. Setting it up was quick, and everything synced smoothly with the app. The GPS accuracy is excellent my routes are tracked perfectly without any weird glitches or jumps. I’ve already taken it on several runs, including a 15 km session, and the performance has been flawless. Heart rate, pace, VO₂ max estimates, and all the training metrics feel incredibly precise. Battery life is another big win. Even with daily workouts, notifications, and the bright screen, it still lasts impressively long. The watch also gives great insights into recovery, sleep, and overall readiness, which has helped me train smarter, not just harder. Overall, this is an exceptional watch for runners. It’s comfortable, accurate, feature packed, and genuinely motivating to use. Easily one of the best upgrades I’ve made for my training. Highly recommended.
Review: An amazing fitness watch: accurate, motivating, and perfect for recovery tracking! - I absolutely love my Garmin watch! I play pickleball, do Pilates, and travel frequently, so I needed something reliable that could keep up with my active (and sometimes unpredictable) lifestyle. One of my favorite features is the Body Battery and recovery tracking. I have lupus and chronic fatigue, and this watch has truly helped me learn when to rest and when to push a little more. It’s not a medical device, but it gives you a great picture of your energy levels and recovery time, which makes a huge difference for people managing autoimmune conditions or simply trying to train smarter. It also tracks heart rate, stress, sleep, and workouts with impressive accuracy. The GPS is spot-on, and the interface is super easy to read, even in sunlight. Plus, it syncs quickly with the app and lasts several days on a single charge. Whether you’re an athlete, traveler, or just trying to balance health and recovery, this Garmin is absolutely worth it. 💪⌚

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent product
*by A***R on November 7, 2025*

I've been running for 40 years and finally bought a Garmin. I must be a Luddite, as for decades I was happy with my Timex Ironman watch. Then a family member gave me an Apple watch, and I really liked the functionality and GPS feature. The problem with the Apple watch is the battery life--a 20+ mile run really drains the battery (this may partially be due to the fact I've gotten really slow), so I finally purchased a Garmin. Readers of this review should note that I am not a "power user" and mainly use the GPS and timing functions. Having said all that, I really like the product! It is very easy to use and pretty intuitive. It is surprising how well it communicates with my iPhone--messages show up, Gmail notifications show up and the Garmin Connect app tracks activity. Plus there are the ancillary functions such as alarms, sleep tracking, etc. Best of all, I did a 22 mile run today and the battery was still 78% charged! Not sure why I waited so long to make the switch to Garmin. Highly recommended.
