Forerunner 265

Went from Samsung Galaxy Watch to Garmin Forerunner 265. Sure, I am missing out on the new watch that just came out, but boy is it so much better. I can confidently run without my phone and trust the GPS accuracy. Past 4 days with the watch and everything seems to be better (GPS, battery, insites, e

Hi everyone,

I currently own a Forerunner 265 and I’m quite happy with it. I’m a hobby runner, training 3–4 times per week, and I occasionally swim. I don’t hike at the moment because of small children, but I really enjoy hiking whenever possible.

Recently, though, I started thinking about “sidegr

Ik zou je richten op de forerunner lijn. Heel veel mensen lopen met de 255. Een prima horloge met alles wat je nodig hebt. Prijs zit rond de 250 euro. Deze beschikt over een MIP-scherm. Mocht je amoled mooier vinden, dus wat meer “levendigheid” in de kleuren en weergave van je scherm, kies dan voor

The first question should be: do you want a sports watch that just tracks your activities, or do you want a smartwatch for calls/notifications etc that also tracks your activities?

I’d agree with everyone else on Garmin and specifically the Forerunner 265S. The the battery life on Garmin watches are top tier and I think the FR series watches are quite decent overall plus it has an AMOLED display OR the COROS Pace 3 (or the newer Pace 4 depending on your budget) which arguable

I’ve had both an Apple Watch and a Garmin Forerunner 265, and for me, Garmin has been the clear winner. The biggest reason is battery life. My Garmin 265 lasts about three weeks, even while running six days a week and averaging around 40 miles total. With my Apple Watch, I was constantly forgetting

Just upgraded from my Apple Watch to a garmin forerunner 265S. I am head over heels in love with this thing. My AW was starting to really piss me off because the battery life was garbage and it would die in the middle of an hour long run.

REI and other retailers have a sale that started today on Garmin watches

I snagged a Forerunner 265 for $350. Looks like 965 is $100 off to $500 and the 55 is down to $170, but no deals on the 165, which is stuck at $250 ($300 for the music). 165 doesn't have training readiness, etc., so likely not
