Great Watch For Beginner To Intermediate
Battery life is great compared to other brand smartwatches. The heart rate on the Forerunner is much more precise that the lower level Garmins that I have used before. Great for tracking my 10K runs and training for other longer runs.

Fantastic!!!
Hello- former Garmin user from 10+ years ago, which was the first version of the Vivioactive. It just didn’t have enough functionality back then, and I opted to switch to an Apple Watch. I recently got back into running and know that the Apple runs really close on battery for the longer runs. Plus I never can wear my Apple to bed for sleep tracking, because that’s when it gets charged. So I went with the Forerunner 265 after much research on the best Garmin product for runners, and I absolutely love it! It’s comfortable, never a worry about battery life, sleep tracking available, great screen. I don’t think I can respond to emails or messages but I rarely used my watch for that, I really use the watch for reading them so the Garmin works great. Some of the negatives I read were on the band, but I really like it so far. I have used it for about a dozen runs now including a half, and it is now my all-the-time watch! I genuinely thought I was going to wear this watch just for running.

Great Watch
Love the watch. I've had it for just over a year, and have no complaints. Great to run with, easy to use. Highly recommend.

Great Running Metrics
I have had a long line of Garmin watches. I came from a Venu2s. I wanted to go back to something that had more running metrics/running forward. I am really enjoying learning about all the metrics it provides.
