  We lean on the Forerunner 265 Watch when we want clearer data and smarter guidance every day. The vivid AMOLED touchscreen makes metrics pop at a glance during intervals and long runs, while the lightweight, sweat-friendly build disappears on the wrist. Overnight, it tracks sleep and HRV to deliver Training Readiness so we wake up knowing whether to push or recover.

Multi-band GNSS locks onto satellites fast for reliable route and pace data, while wrist-based heart rate, SpO2 spot checks, and stress tracking round out the wellness view. With up to 13 days of battery life and 5ATM water rating, its ready for training blocks, travel, and race day.
