Garmin fitness watches are getting “smarter” by the day.
I’ve been playing around with the Forerunner 265S for a couple of days, and I have to say the OLED display is quite snazzy. The widgets look crisp, the colors are vibrant, the watch faces have more pizzazz, and the little animated transitions make this feel like a smarter watch than its predecessor — even if they have much of the same specs under the hood. Button fans shouldn’t be too worried about the touchscreen aspect.
So far, I can’t comment on battery life without more in-depth testing. That said, I’m only down to 73 percent with regular use over two days, though that’s without the always-on display and multiband GPS enabled.
