The Garmin Forerunner 265S is one of the brand’s more advanced smartwatches for runners. It offers personalised coaching plans to help you improve your performance and a range of daily health-tracking features to monitor your overall wellbeing. Released in early 2023 alongside the slightly bigger 265, its compact design makes it a comfortable choice for women with smaller wrists.
Earlier this year, fed up with having to charge my Apple Watch every night and wanting to take my running more seriously again, I bought the Garmin Forerunner 265S. On paper, it’s one of the best fitness trackers, with a long battery life, accurate GPS and onboard music. But how does it perform in real life? And how do its general fitness tracking features shape up?
If you’re wondering ‘Which Garmin should I buy’ and the Forerunner 265S is on your shortlist, read on. I’ve worn the 265S almost every day for over six months, running for over 30 hours and 200 miles on roads, trails and in competitive races. These are my honest thoughts and findings
to help you decide.
