Garmin Forerunner 265 garmin Sports Watch Outdoor GPS Running Fitness Marathon Swimming Chinese smartwatch

During extended use, the watch performs reliably. Many users employ it for running and swimming without problems. The touchscreen operates quickly and responsively (71% of reviews marked it as fast). Battery life meets specifications. Some buyers noted that language setup is not entirely intuitive but can be completed within minutes. The watch synchronizes without issues with Garmin Connect and data transfers without errors.

Critical reviews (3.6%) point to GPS accuracy and pace-tracking problems. One buyer reported that the watch does not maintain pace correctly and GPS distance is inaccurate. Another concern is that Garmin's warranty service may not cover the Chinese model — in case of issues, you will need to resolve this through AliExpress. Most reviews, however, come from French and European buyers who ordered the watch from the French warehouse.
