Garmin Forerunner 265S Sports Watch

Smart training with the new Garmin Forerunner 265
The Garmin Forerunner 265s Music with GPS is a sports watch packed with features that will excite serious runners, cyclists, and swimmers. In short; you run and your Garmin Forerunner 265 thinks along. This smartwatch provides you with complete insight into your performance, recovery, and next workout. With the Garmin Coach function, you set your goals and Garmin offers adjustable training plans. The scheduled workouts are synced directly to your watch. Besides running, there are many other sport profiles. You can expand your routine to cycling, indoor swimming, indoor rowing, elliptical trainer, stepper, and much more. The built-in wrist heart rate monitor measures your heart rate and alerts you if your resting heart rate remains too high or too low. Even underwater, the Forerunner 265s measures your heart rate. It should be noted that wrist heart rate monitoring underwater is always less accurate; a heart rate strap is the best option in that case.

Extensive running functions and health monitoring
The Forerunner 265s is compatible with many accessories, allowing you to accurately measure your full running dynamics. The 265s even displays your running power. The watch also calculates a race prediction based on your fitness, taking into account weather and course profile. Your health is monitored through various settings that track your sleep patterns and even blood oxygen levels.

Improved display and battery
This watch is durable thanks to its materials. The sweat-resistant silicone band and robust Corning Gorilla Glass 3 housing ensure it can handle anything. Thanks to the new AMOLED screen, you enjoy the sharpest colors and workouts are displayed clearer than ever. The battery life is exceptional. In smartwatch mode, it lasts up to 13 days. Planning an ultramarathon? No problem, with GPS mode the battery lasts up to 20 hours. With this Forerunner 265, you are assured of comprehensive measurement and preparation for all your running goals and more!

Smartwatch features
Besides tracking your athletic goals, this watch offers everything you expect from a top smartwatch. It includes Garmin Pay, music control and storage, calendar, smartphone notifications, and full compatibility with all smartphones.

• Improved VO2 max: Track VO2 max during trail running activities (can be disabled) and receive a more accurate VO2 max that accounts for difficult or mountainous terrain when using the "running" activity profile.

• Enhanced intensity minutes: Discover how and when intensity minutes were achieved. And check your weekly goal status at any time.
• Daily workout suggestions: Receive daily running and cycling suggestions on the watch based on training history, fitness level, and recovery time.
