Garmin Forerunner 265
from £430 / garmin.com
If you’ve ever cast your eye around at a Saturday morning parkrun and looked at the watches wrapped around people’s wrists, there’s a good chance you’ve seen a few Garmins.
There’s an even stronger chance most of them were Garmin Forerunners – and while this is already a watch that runners, swimmers and cyclists love, it’s getting a whole lot more alluring with the 265.
While many of the same smarts remain from the 255, the 265 upgrades things in the display department with the addition of an AMOLED touchscreen. It’s a splash of colour that elevates this sports watch’s look and crucially, doesn’t come at the expense of battery life: take your pick of the two case size options and you’ll get anywhere from 13 to 15 days.
