Morning Report
Forerunner 265 gives you a daily morning report as soon as you wake up. It gives you an overview of your sleep, training outlook, HRV status and the weather. With a sleep score and an overview of your different sleep stages, you'll get a better understanding of how your body recovers so you can find the best times to train and rest.
Race widget
Whether it's a 10 km or a full marathon, the Forerunner 265 will help you prepare optimally for a race. For example, the sports watch provides training tips, personalised daily recommended workouts and with the Garmin Coach you'll even get free, customised training plans for 5 km, 10 km or a half marathon. Finally, the Race Predictor feature even gives you a prediction of your finish time based on course data, weather and performance.
Daily suggested workouts
To achieve your health and performance goals, what you do today matters. This feature combines scientific insights with fitness, activity and lifestyle data to improve your fitness level (VO2max) and achieve optimal workout load. When generating a suggested workout, it considers your current training load, load focus, recovery time, sleep data as well as the profile of recently performed workouts.
Training status
Using, for example, your HRV status, recent training history and performance, the Forerunner 265 gives you insight into your overall effort and therefore whether you are training productively, at peak times or too intensely. This can help you avoid overtraining and ensure you are training at the right level to improve your fitness or perform at your best during a race.
HRV Status
Using heart rate variability (HRV) measurements during sleep, you will gain more insight into your overall health, recovery process and training performance. HRV is an excellent indicator of the balance between the autonomic and parasympathetic nervous systems and therefore an indirect measure of stress. Among other things, it can tell you how your body is coping with the stress of training and daily life.
Other features
Unlike the previous generation of Forerunner watches, the Forerunner 265 lets you listen to music via your Spotify or Deezer account without your phone. Additionally, you can easily pay contactless with your watch or on public transport with the Garmin Pay feature and receive smartphone notifications on your watch when paired with your phone.

Top sports watch
Very happy with this Garmin, fast delivery, nice design and tracks especially heart rate very well
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Fine choice for the average runner.
Watch now owned for 3 weeks, like all other Garmin watches I've had this one also satisfies perfectly for the average runner. First three weeks no sleep score and HRV status visible yet, but it seems this can take a while for it to measure this to give a good impression. Also a nice bracelet, barely feels you have a watch on.

Top smartwatch and sports watch
I use this watch for running, cycling and strength training. Works very nicely, the watch offers a lot of information and also tells you all kinds of things about your rest and recovery. Also a multifunctional smartwatch, works quickly and conveniently with your phone

5 / 5
Comfortable watch with a great screen.
Bought it to better monitor my running sessions. Previously I used a Forerunner 245 and I must say that this is a huge step forward: the device is light as a feather and the touchscreen works wonderfully smoothly. GPS connection is fast and very accurate. Have to say that even this Forerunner has trouble with GPS as soon as you run under trees. Still a shame for this money. Great battery on board!
