Garmin Forerunner 265 Running Smartwatch
Training-readiness scores and multi-band GPS. For someone with a race in the diary.
Our rating
4.6 out of 5
Multi-band GPS holds a signal between tall buildings where single-band drifts, which matters if he trains in a city. Training-readiness scoring makes it the right tier for someone with a race booked. For three runs a week it is more watch than the training justifies.
