Q: Does this watch track pace to the second or does it round to every 5 seconds? My old Garmin gives me pace to the exact second. Seems like most watches today round to the nearest 5 seconds. Very annoying. What does this watch do?

A: Hi Uncle J, thanks for reaching out about Garmin Forerunner 265 with Silicone Band. What we could find from Garmin is the following: "Garmin watches that have a running activity profile display a rounded pace, which is the current pace value rounded to the nearest 5 seconds." If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

Bought this in early January. I was an Apple Watch user before and made the switch because I was sick of having to charge my watch every day. Not only do I not have to charge this thing every day, I usually only have to charge it once a week or less! I work out every morning for 40-90 minutes so I'm getting good use out of it and even on longer runs the battery keeps up great! This is a great watch for distance runners who want to track their mileage, recovery and cross training. If you play golf, pay the extra money for the 965. I love this watch.
Superb!

I love my Garmin 265. It is easy to set up and use, and the features are ideal for a marathon runner. I couldn't expect or want anything more. I highly recommend the Garmin 265.
Went above and beyond!

I've had the watch for 15 days now, and I'm really happy with the purchase. I had another watch whose battery lasted less than 15 hours, so I'm really impressed with the battery life of my new watch. Plus, I’d like to highlight how easy it is to use in everyday life.
New Best Friend!!

I’m about 3 weeks in with my new best friend and am loving all the features, especially the sleep coach and training coach. Can’t wait to run my big race with it in June.

The lack of clear written instruction and challenges with connecting the Forerunner 265 to my android phone is giving me headaches. The watch is very confusing to use and I can't event get it to return to the base watch face in order to look at the time. Garmin needs to provide clearer instructions that are working in simple terms.
Good watch for basic triathlon

I asked for this watch for Christmas as an upgrade from my forerunner 165! I am very pleased with this watch and it is a bit more accurate and can do a bit more than my 165! Worth the upgrade for sure.
Great purchase

Upgrade from my Garmin 735. The 265 is a great watch that fits all of my needs. I like the Amoled screen more than I expected. Easy to see while running in low light conditions. Garmin builds a great product.
Great features and easy to use

The watch is the best smartwatch I have ever owned. The ui is easy to use and it has a lot of great features such as body battery and on device music from streaming services such as Amazon music and Spotify. The 5 buttons make the device not only easy to use while running, but I also find myself using the buttons all the time. The watch has one of the most accurate gps chipsets. I have found that the distance estimations from the watch to be accurate. The heart rate sensor is accurate. This is one of the best watches I've ever owned.
Amazing insights: not like apple ecosystem

I love the features such as training effect and training readiness. The watch seamlessly pairs with partner apps like strava and spotify, however it does not support apple music and i’ve had difficulties pairing it to the apple health app
Overall Great Watch

Overall, I love the Forerunner 265. Comfortable, battery life is outstanding, and I especially like the "Training Readiness" feature. That was a main reason I bought it. The one big thing I wish Garmin could fix is reading the heart rate through tattoos. I need to switch which arm the watch is on while I workout and sleep as I have dark ink in certain spots on my wrist and it cuts out. I'd jump on a new watch if you guys could fix that.
Great Training Watch!

The body battery feature was something that attracted me to the garmin product. I leaned towards it because I am someone who needs their sleep. My job puts me in the position that a person must ignore sleep needs. I drive long distances weekly and I’m going to be curious to track my body battery and see how closely it lines up with reality. If it does line up, it will probably cost my company more money in total rooms as they preach safety first well if I’m not rested enough to make a 3 hr drive home they can pay for the hotel room so I ca. make a safer trip the next day.
BRIGHT display!!!

I love this watch! It’s the 6th Garmin I’ve owned and certainly my favorite. It’s light weight and the display it’s bold and easy to read! The colors are brighter and the GPS connects as soon as I turn it on. Highly recommend this watch.
