S stands for sport

The watch features a 42 mm case that is comfortable to wear in daily life as well as during sports. With its feather-light weight of 39 g, you'll barely notice this GPS watch on your wrist.

1.1-inch color screen

The AMOLED screen of this smartwatch is 1.1 inches (2.8 cm) in size and has a resolution of 360 x 360 pixels. You benefit from a sharp image to view the time, but also your pace, heart rate, or route, all at a glance thanks to the Always-On mode. This running watch is easily readable thanks to the vibrant colors of the screen, which is useful during intensive training sessions. The interface is intuitive to use, and you can easily navigate between widgets, sport profiles, and useful data during training via the touchscreen and control buttons.

Long battery life

This smartwatch combines sports functions and connected use in a user-friendly format. The multiband GPS with SatIQ technology improves location accuracy depending on the environment and reduces route deviations. It is therefore your handy companion during your runs, cardio workouts, and daily training sessions. The powerful battery offers a long usage time of up to 15 days in smartwatch mode and up to 24 hours in GPS mode. With this sporty smartwatch, you can therefore complete multiple training sessions consecutively without needing to charge it frequently.

Comprehensive health monitoring

The Forerunner 265s emphasizes useful analysis of the collected data, allowing you to optimally manage your efforts and recovery. For example, with the Morning Report, you receive information about your sleep, heart rate variability, recovery, and much more as soon as you wake up. With Garmin Coach, you also receive training suggestions for various sports. The watch also connects to your smartphone, so you can receive important notifications such as text messages and emails directly, or use Google Maps and Garmin Pay.
