1st Time Garmin Owner/user

As a first-time smartwatch user and novice runner, I've been thoroughly impressed with the Garmin Forerunner 265. This watch has proven to be an invaluable training companion as I've embarked on my new running regime. One of the standout features for me has been the comprehensive fitness tracking capabilities. The large, easy-to-read display provides clear real-time metrics on pace, distance, heart rate, and more during my workouts. The GPS functionality is highly accurate, giving me reliable data on my routes and progress. Beyond just the basics, I've found the wealth of training insights provided by the watch to be incredibly useful. The sleep scoring feature, in particular, has offered valuable feedback on the quality of my rest and how it impacts my readiness for training. The training readiness score has also been remarkably accurate, helping me understand when I'm primed for a tough workout versus when I need to focus on recovery. The smartwatch connectivity, allowing me to receive notifications from my smartphone, is a convenient feature that helps me stay connected without constantly checking my device. While the music playback capabilities are a nice addition, I've found the process of downloading playlists to the watch to be somewhat cumbersome as a novice user. One area I would have appreciated more support is in the form of a built-in marathon training plan. As someone new to running, having a structured program to follow from the outset would have been helpful. Overall, the Forerunner 265 has been an excellent investment for someone new to both running and smartwatches. The wealth of fitness-tracking features, data insights, and training guidance make it a powerful tool for monitoring and improving my performance. I'm confident this watch will continue to be an invaluable companion as I progress in my running journey.

Levels You Up !

A month ago bought the Forerunner 265 upgraded from an Apple Ultra 2. Felt like the ultra was missing a lot of features that I need to level my fitness up and help me train for half marathon. I couldn’t be happier with its battery life and also its features that come with it. Has given me insights into my health.
