Hey guys, I just upgraded to the Forerunner 265. Everything was all good out the box, but after about 40 minutes of ownership, I’ve noticed women keep squirting around me when they see it on my wrist. Any ideas on how to prevent this? I really don’t want to run any faster (already at a 13min/mi pace

I came from using a Garmin Epix Gen 2 Sapphire, which was a fantastic watch, but was overkill and too heavy for my activity (99% running or walking). 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

I’m currently deciding between the Fenix 8 solar or amoled. I have a forerunner 265 and I’m looking to upgrade. I’m thinking of going with the 47mm option for either but am willing to go with the 51mm if it sounds like it would be better. I like the amoled on my 265 but have seen pros and cons of bo

I switched from AW this year and my first Garmin is the Forerunner 265, which I love very much.
Decided to switch to the Fenix 8 and I’m loving the bigger screen, the extra functions and the overall aesthetics of the watch.
My wrist is small, but the Fenix 8 47mm AMOLED sits on it well.

Today was the 1,000th day of hitting my 10,000-step-per-day goal, and with that, I’m off to Garmin. I like Fitbit, and I’ve had quite a few going back as far as 2015. When Fitbit was bought by Google, things declined, and small things kind of annoyed me. For this past Christmas, I got a Garmin Forer

Just a quick PSA, OHR sensors on smart watches can get thrown off by tattoos.
I had no idea! I was gifted a forerunner 265 as a birthday present, found it wasnt tracking sleep and heart rate monitor was inconsistent.
Called Garmin, first thing I was asked is do you have tattoos where youre wearing

I love the watch but its too chunky for my liking. Might switch to a forerunner 265.. my concern being is the forerunner might be way too thin for my liking. I’m torn. thoughts?

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
