All about this product
General
Get ready to step up your training with the Forerunner 265 GPS Running Smartwatch from Garmin.
Its colourful AMOLED touchscreen display stands out while the training readiness feature — which tells you when you’re primed for a productive session — helps you crush your goals. Wake up to your morning report with HRV status to see health insights alongside an overview of sleep, recovery and training outlook. Plan your race strategy with the race widget, which enables personalised daily suggested workouts that adapt to performance, recovery, the race you’re running and its course. Get ready to make the most of every run with wrist-based running power and multi-band GPS. And when you want to switch it up with cross training, choose from more than thirty activity profiles, including triathlons, cycling, swimming and more. And if that's not enough, get a more complete picture of your health, not just a glimpse, from your Forerunner 265 with up to 13 days of battery life in smartwatch mode.
