Good alternative to Forerunner 265S
- Christina 9 September 2026
I got this watch after losing my Garmin Forerunner 265S. I'm not disappointed. I like having maps but downloading them is a hassle and I must say they do not offer the same options as the Forerunner 965. You don't see street names so it's not very easy to navigate without a phone with precision. You also do not get the Garmin pay. On the other hand this is a beautiful watch that does what its made for, and the aesthetics of the watch itself as well as the Suunto app are really appealing. I was a bit worried that the 45mm screen would be too big compared to the 42mm I had before (female) but it's ok.
Pros & Cons
Gorilla glass and maps make a difference
Great UI
Very elegant design
Lacks Garmin's options in terms of data
Maps could be better
No payments
