The best sale you’ll find on a Garmin watch during the ongoing Amazon Big Spring Sale is probably this Forerunner 265, which will run you $344.95. It’s an excellent watch—I said as much when I reviewed it. If this watch appeals to you, go ahead and buy it—but there are some caveats you should consider before buying one.

And since the 265 has been replaced by the 570, I need to talk about what that means for people who buy the 265. The 265 is an older watch, having launched in 2023. Now, that’s not a problem in itself—Garmins tend to age well. Whatever you would have liked about the watch in 2023, it’s got all the same features now. It’s still a good watch.
The 265 is still getting updates for stability and bug fixes (here’s the latest, from just two months ago) so it’s still supported, it’s just not getting the best new features. For example, the new glances for battery health, sports scores, and lifestyle logging are only for the newer watches.
The Garmin Forerunner 265 is still a strong buy
With all that in mind, is the 265 still a good watch? Honestly, yes, but it no longer occupies a “sweet spot” at the center of features and value. In 2026, if you want a watch with all the best Garmin features, it’s better to upgrade to the Forerunner 570 or 970, or for more of a lifestyle watch, the Venu 4. On the budget side, the Vivoactive 6 is a good pick from the newer generation. But none of those are currently seeing significant discounts, so if price is a major factor in your buying decision, I’d consider looking at Coros or Suunto too.
