The Garmin Forerunner 265 is suddenly much cheaper this weekend – and runners will love this

Amazon is offering numerous excellent deals for Garmin fans during the Black Friday shopping event. Now, on Saturday after Black Friday, there's an epic deal on the Garmin Forerunner 265.


Usually retailing at $449, the Forerunner 265 is a running-focused smartwatch with a bright AMOLED touchscreen and physical buttons. It gives you advanced training data every morning, like a quick "readiness" and recovery overview, plus suggested workouts that adapt to your recent runs.

The watch has multi-band GNSS (SatIQ) for accurate GPS tracking and more than 30 built-in activity profiles for running, cycling, swimming and triathlons. 

Battery life is strong for a watch with an OLED screen – Garmin quotes up to 13 days in smartwatch mode and up to about 20 hours with GPS. The watch also supports music on your wrist, Garmin Pay contactless payments, safety features like incident detection, and a race widget for planning race day strategy. 

This watch is aimed at runners and serious hobby athletes who want deep training feedback without carrying a phone. 

The smartwatch is great if you train for races, want guided workouts that adapt to you, or need very accurate GPS for pace and route tracking. It's also a solid pick for multi-sport athletes who do triathlons or open-water swims and want one watch that covers everything. 

If you mainly want a fashion-forward smartwatch or a watch that behaves like a tiny phone, note that Forerunners focus more on training and performance than on endless third-party apps.
