"You don't need to spend $1,100 on the latest Fenix 8 to get a serious running watch that tracks everything you need. The sweet spot in Garmin's lineup has always been the Forerunner series, and for good reason: these watches outsell everything else in the brand's catalog. The Forerunner 265 is the most premium and popular model in the range and packs a brilliant AMOLED display and advanced training metrics that rival watches costing twice as much."
"The difference is apparent from the very first moments you fire up the Forerunner 265: that brilliant AMOLED touchscreen pops with color and sharp text which remains quite readable under direct sunlight, joined by traditional button controls that work beautifully when your hands are sweaty or you're wearing gloves. The 46mm size makes the watch feather-light on your wrist so you just about forget it's there on those ultra-long runs-or really through most of the day."
The Forerunner 265 sits at the premium end of Garmin's Forerunner series, combining a brilliant AMOLED display with advanced training metrics that rival much more expensive watches. Amazon reduced the price to $299 from $449, marking an all-time low for the model. The 46mm watch pairs a vivid touchscreen with physical buttons, remaining readable in sunlight and comfortable for long runs. Battery life reaches up to 13 days in smartwatch mode and about 20 hours in GPS mode. Morning summaries provide sleep quality, recovery status, HRV, training readiness, and local weather to guide daily training decisions. Training readiness aggregates sleep, recovery, training load, and HRV to indicate capacity for hard workouts.
