You only have to scroll through the spec of the Forerunner 265 to see it has been designed with a broad range of users in mind. It can track your efforts whether you're cycling on the road, indoors or along the trails, with the seemingly endless list of sporting activities extending to include the likes of paddleboarding and ice hockey. And it doesn't stop there.
Every morning its bright AMOLED display shows your sleep score, Garmin's overview of how well you slept, your training readiness and your current energy level. It even detects moments of stress and advises you to take some time to wind down, which, in a world where things can be so full on, I found to be very helpful.
Similar to the Forerunner 955, the 265 is highly adaptive, perfect for personalisation to suit you and your lifestyle. There are a host of different watch faces, so you can find and personalise the ones best suited to you.
It comes in a choice of two sizes, a 42mm face for smaller wrists and 46mm for slightly larger wrists like my own.
