This was my first Garmin watch after using various Apple Watches over the years. Avid runner. Love the Garmin ecosystem and features. Purchased both the Forerunner 265 and the newer 570. After using both for two weeks decided to go with the 265. I recommend the 265 over the 570 for the price difference and lightweight comfort and longer battery life.
Good, cheap feel.

Liked most everything about the 265 except the plastic feel. I know it’s a stronger plastic to help retain durability, but it doesn’t feel very premium for the price. Returned it and got a 965 which I love. There’s a market for this watch, it just wasn’t me.
Fantastic. I love it.

I've had it a few weeks now. Not really happy with the heart rate monitor. It's not very accurate. I've tried a hard reset but that didn't work. After doing more research i've seen where others have had the same issue. I guess i should of done more research before buying it.
Perfect! Love It!

I bought this first sports watch several weeks ago. It has tons of features, many of which I will probably never use. However, the ones that I do want to use provide lots of valuable information. I immediately downloaded the owner's manual and have been slowly working through it to learn how it works. I am thrilled with the purchase and thoroughly enjoy the data it provides.
Great programming and good features

Battery life on the 265 is amazing. Can go 10-18 days on a single charge (depending how many watch features im using). I use the watch mostly to track my runs.

I had my Garmin 245 for 3 years and really wanted to upgrade to something with a color display and touchscreen. After months of researching I decided to go with the 265. The battery life is awesome and the large bright screen makes seeing my data while running so much easier!
Perfect upgrade!

I have been a Garmin fan/user for over 2 years and have loved my Forerunner 255-but it was time for an upgrade. The AMOLED display was a must and the extra features on the 265 were a perfect upgrade.

earlier this year I found screen damage to my forerunner 945 but it was out of warranty so support said they could give me a percentage off if I traded it in. the 265 I ordered has been not just as good but so much more...I dont think there are any features that the 945 had that i can't find on the 245...the new color watch face is awesome and I can even see who is at my door right on my watch from my ring doorbell...I am so happy with this purchase!!!
