Forerunner 265

Left: Garmin Forerunner 265s with HRM Right: Suunto Race S with optical HR Pretty accurate 👌🏻

I just used my forerunner 265 Garmin coach to train for a full marathon..I put the date of the marathon in and my goal time. It told me what to run every day, and adjusted based on my HR , Sleep, HRV data it worked well.
