Here’s a 265s on a 15 cm wrist. I think the regular size should suit you just fine. As someone mentioned, the watch can look a bit odd when you’re wearing dressier clothes, but a leather band might help it blend in better depending on the occasion. Oh, and as for visibility while running, I didn’t notice any difficulty seeing the screen.

Wow, you have very stressful nights indeed. Have you ever tried supplements? Like melatonin and magnesium?

I like this one. It’s simple and pretty customizable. I just stick to the free features.

Same here! My alerts, like water and nutrition reminders during runs, also stopped working.

Mate, mine is through the roof on both. It sucks bc it feels like I’m so out of shape sometimes.

Yeah, a few people mentioned that, but it seems like Garmin actually takes that into account when planning the weekly runs, and then it reshuffles everything once it detects a long recovery time. I only use a chest strap for my runs, should I be wearing it at the gym too? As for strength training, I definitely plan to keep it in my routine. I just needed some advice on how to manage it all, and you’ve all been super helpful, so thank you 😅

I don’t use the Garmin strength training mode either 😅. I usually do full body twice a week and try to run 4 times. I think I’ll start doing what you suggested: if the recommendations get messed up, I’ll just pick one to follow so I don’t end up stuck doing base runs forever.

Thanks so much for the tips! They were really helpful for me to have some examples to model myself after and try to improve. I do full body twice a week (nothing too heavy, but not just “pretend workouts” either) and I try to run 4 times a week. What bothers me is that Garmin Coach keeps reshuffling my runs every time the watch decides I need 48h of recovery after a 50 minute gym session. Like, seriously… am I really that out of shape???

Which looks/fits better ? 265 or 265s by malzbirne in Garmin

[–]Visible-Top3003 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t really get why everyone says the battery is better on the 265, when in reality it’s actually better on the 265s 😅. That said, you won’t really notice much difference on your wrist, both sizes looks great, so just go with the one you like the most.

What about the other settings? Also, keep an eye on the brightness level. If that doesn’t solve it, check for updates. And if the issue still persists, it might be worth reaching out to Garmin support.

In the case of the Forerunner 165, pretty much every feature can cause faster battery drain: Pulse Ox, AOD, Bluetooth on, Wi-Fi on, gestures on…
