Chase your next personal best in style. Equipped with a bright and colorful AMOLED touchscreen, Forerunner 265 makes your fitness training even better. A first for the 200 Series Forerunners, the 265 delivers running dynamics, including running power, right from your wrist. Heart rate data is also displayed on your wrist, thanks to Garmin's Elevate optical sensor. Built-in multi-band GPS provides information on your speed and distance. Plus, all of these sensors work in concert, turning your movement into data, honoring you for everything you do, in the gym, in the pool, and on the trails. The 265 helps you start your day right, with a personalized morning report. This report summarizes the quality of sleep, the level of recovery and the effects of training, it even offers a suggestion of daily training. Between your morning report and the workout readiness feature, the 265 helps you get the most out of your workout, preventing you from being over-trained or under-trained. Having the right soundtrack can be the difference between a regular workout or one that puts a smile on your face. When paired with your phone, your Forerunner can stream songs to your Bluetooth headset. And if you want to leave your phone behind... or at home, you can store up to 1,000 songs right on your watch.
