Product Details
Web ID: 5274690Very good watch
I’m 77 years old and have been running since mid 20’s. I have bought forerunners 205,230,245 and 265. I’m not a competitive runner,nor have I run a race after 75. I find the 265 is an excellent watch with enough features to be a valuable health and training tool. It almost too much of a watch for me. I don’t use the music feature and needed a long phone call from product service department to get it setup. Buy this watch you will love it.

Terrible Experience
This was an extremely frustrating and disappointing experience. I purchased a brand-new Garmin watch, and from the beginning it failed to connect to Wi-Fi. After contacting support and researching the issue, I learned that Garmin devices do not support 5 GHz networks, which is already a major limitation for a modern product. What makes this unacceptable is that even after switching my home network to 2.4 GHz, the watch still would not connect. I followed all recommended steps, changed router settings, split Wi-Fi bands, and tested multiple configurations — nothing worked. Because of this issue, I ended up having to return two different Garmin watches, thinking the first one might be defective. The second unit had the exact same problem, proving this is not an isolated case but a serious compatibility or design flaw. A product at this price point should not require users to reconfigure their entire network, and it certainly should not fail even after meeting the required conditions. What should have been a simple setup turned into hours of wasted time and stress. Very disappointing. I would not recommend this product.

This watch has it all!
The display on this watch is amazing! Having the option of buttons and touch screen is really nice as well.

Great Experience with the Garmin Forerunner 265
I bought this amazing watch over a month ago and I am using it 100% of the day over my I-Watch. It tracks a lot of information for me. From tracking sleep patterns and providing recommendations to tracking my running patterns and plenty of information on status and recommendations to improve my performance. I truly recommend this watch to anybody!

Great Watch
I purchased this watch after my first marathon because my Apple Watch did not hold up for the run. The battery life drained. Now I can go days without charging. I went from having to charge my watch everyday to once a week. I also love all the features that come with this watch. The recovery notifications, abnormal heart rates, music on your wrist and so much more! This watch will be a total game changer for my long runs.

Great watch!
Garmin is always quality. I have been a long time Forerunner 945 user and recently switched to the 265. It was a great decision. I love the metrics and Amoled on the is watch. It is the perfect upgrade.
