As your aspirations grow, you need a watch that keeps up with your pace. The Garmin Forerunner 265 is a GPS running smartwatch designed for those who want to train smarter, recover better, and systematically improve—whether your target is a new personal best or your next competition.

The bright 1.3-inch AMOLED touch display (416 x 416) stands out clearly in all conditions. The touch screen is complemented by traditional buttons, ensuring reliable operation even during intense workouts.

Train at the Right Time, with the Right Intensity
The training readiness feature indicates when your body is primed for an effective workout. The assessment is based on metrics such as sleep quality, recovery, training load, and heart rate variability status. This data provides an accurate estimate of your baseline metrics.

The morning report compiles a summary of your sleep, recovery, and training, as well as heart rate variability status, training readiness, and weather information. You can instantly see what kind of day lies ahead as you wake up.

The race widget helps you plan your competition strategy. It provides daily training suggestions tailored to your performance, recovery, upcoming events, and routes based on Garmin Connect app data. Suggestions update after each run.

Precise Data from Every Run
Wrist-based running power and running dynamics assist in optimising your performance. Multi-band GNSS and SatIQ technology deliver accurate positioning even in challenging environments while optimising battery life. Supported positioning systems include GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and QZSS.

Over 30 built-in activity profiles, including running, triathlon, cycling, swimming, and open water swimming, add variety to your training. The training status helps you assess your overall workload, informing whether you’re training productively, at peak level, or feeling fatigued.

Music, Payment, and Smart Features
You can upload music to the watch from platforms like Spotify, Amazon Music, or Deezer (subscription may be required) and listen wirelessly with headphones without needing your phone. The internal memory is 8 GB.

Bluetooth, ANT+, and Wi-Fi connectivity ensure versatile compatibility. Receive smart notifications from your Android or Apple smartphone directly on your wrist. With Garmin Pay contactless payment, make purchases conveniently in supported countries and payment networks.

Safety and tracking features, such as incident detection and emergency functions, can send your real-time location to emergency contacts when the watch is connected to a compatible smartphone and has an active data connection.

Water-resistant to 5 ATM (50 m), it's suitable for swimming and all daily activities.

The battery lasts up to 13 days in smartwatch mode and up to 20 hours in GPS-only mode. Usage times vary depending on GNSS and music modes.
