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.

I was in between getting the Pace Pro and the Forerunner 265, and was convinced by some of my other running buddies to try the Coros out, as they'd ha

Their basic digital face still has a scaling error (40% smaller than the smaller screen FR265 gen) on the FR570/970 generation, even reported it to a buddy who works there, they’re aware of it an

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

Quando as pessoas perceberem o quanto garmin é superior a Apple.. é que no Brasil ainda nao e tão difundido, mas pra mim usar um relogio que precisa ser carregado todo dia é simplesmente estupido. Seja pra usar pra correr ou nao, só de ter tudo que o Apple e Samsung tem e a bateria durar duas semana
