Forerunner 265

I have had a Forerunner 265 for over 2 years now and the route turn prompts have always worked okay. A few weeks ago they stopped working, I did a factory reset and installed the latest software update, but still the same.

I then reinstalled Garmin Connect app on my phone and did a couple of new ro

Hi 46F, with two small children here. I'm signed up for a half on the 23 Feb in my home town. Low stakes, just for fun.

Some background: I've been running on and off my entire life, but have have upped my mileage since 2023. Early in 2024, I ran a couple of 14-15km at about 6.1 m/km, and was gener

Mijn vrouw heeft dus de 165 en ik heb de 265, en zelden wijkt haar GPS meer dan een paar meter af van het mijne. Dus daar zou ik me echt niet zo'n zorgen over maken. De automatische lactaatdrempel herkenning van Garmin is nagenoeg een random number generator waar je echt niet op kunt vertrouwen. Sow

On the watch itself, it doesn't have full maps. So for example if you go on Strava and create a running route and send it to your watch it'll essentially only do turn-by-turn instructions with a single navigational line.

If you're going to be running unfamiliar routes, the map function is just better on the pace pro. I run in Austin and don't like to run with a paper map. I just let the watch beep at me when to turn and I can see the map on the screen. I have a 265s and a pace pro. I run with the pace pro. The 265 o

Getting significant differences in pace between two watches with same perceived effort. Apple series 2 and forerunner 265. For an effort that would give like 8:30 on Apple Watch my garmin is saying maybe like 9:15 usually more like 9:30. Has the Apple Watch (older model relatively but still gps) jus

I've just bought the apex 4 having gone from the 265. Ive been getting more and more annoyed with Garmin. They used to be great but every update now seems to change the metrics and then they put stuff behind a paywall. The Apex 4 has everything and more that my FR has to offer. The battery life can

Hello!

I’ve been getting more serious the past few months in my training and decided to get myself a watch so I don’t have to lug my phone around. Carrying it isn’t that big of a deal, but I’ve been doing more threshold and interval runs and it is not super fun trying to interface with Strava as I’

Hi all! I've been running for many years and finally deciding to switch the apple watch for a sports watch. I recently tried Garmin (Forerunner 265) and honestly did not like it. The app was awful, the navigation felt clunky and couldn't get over how bad the UI was. I figure maybe the garmin had too
