Forerunner 265

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.

Recently, though, I started thinking about “sidegr

I graduated to Garmin at the beginning of the year. I do think that the Fitbit has its place though. Before the Fitbit I didn't really have a regular exercise routine. I didn't really look at steps much but at first I told myself "no matter what, every day I'm going to get 21 zone minutes every week

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.

I’m not SF, but I wouldn’t base my decision of which watch to get for a future job you might have someday. You also don’t want to run the risk of looking like a wannabe who gets all this high speed shit like you’re SF and always talks about “someday” until it’s too late and then start talking about

My Pace 3 arrived earlier today and I was eager to put it to use! I previously tested out the Garmin Forerunner 265 but honestly, couldn’t justify the price even as an intermediate runner. After spending hours comparing it to the Pace 3, I opted to go with Coros as it‘s simply the better bang for my
