Great all around watch
I’ve had the FR265 for about a month now—I switched from the FR165 after signing up for a triathlon and needing something that supports multisport mode.

Good experience, just one issue with sleep trackin
It works well, and I enjoy using it. The only thing I’m not happy with is that it doesn’t track my sleep very well.

Great Sport Watch!
This is the fourth Garmin I’ve had in the last 14 years and it’s the best yet. I love the crisp display and customization options. Metrics are excellent.
Although I had no issues pairing with my iPhone 13 Pro (OS 26.x), after upgrading to an iPhone 17 Pro it’s taken multiple pairings, uninstalling & reinstalling Garmin Connect, rebooting, etc. - not to mention reading ...

Beach walking Forerunner
I previously had a Vicoactive which I liked. The Forerunner with the Amoloed display is a big improvement. Functionality is a little different but easy to pick up on.

Great features
I bought it a month ago and it’s been pretty good, I’m still learning how to use it. Before the 260 I was using the forerunner 45, it’s definitely an upgrade.

Great!
I bought this watch to motivate myself to exercise, such as running, going to the gym, swimming, and doing some cardio. I love how the entire operating system is very intuitive, and with the help of my trainer, it has been the perfect tool to leave my sedentary lifestyle behind.

Not the same quality it was…
I bought this a month ago and already had to be replaced..my last watch completely died too, it at least lasted 3 years but still…not for these prices. My first Garmin I ever bought in 2020 is still working but gave it away once I got a new one with more features l wanted for training.
