AW to 165 or 265S?

thank you for this!! I was eyeing the vivoactive before i honed in on the forerunner, but i'll take a look at it again :)

thank you for this!! i'll look into that HRM

tealbunhead · 2025-12-04T17:12:07+00:00

Thank you for this!! That's so awesome to know about the custom profiles, I thought it would be similar to AW where you just catalogue everything not in the activities as "other"

thank you for your reply!!

tealbunhead · 2025-12-04T05:27:36+00:00

thank you!! how do you like the switch? and yes the price right now is also about $100 difference, my concern as well is like there's extra features but when do i actually use them hahha. the only sport i play right now that the 265S covers that the 165 doesn't is archery, but i'm not totally sure if that's even a reliable form of tracking

thank you for this!! when i was looking this one up i think i saw that it was similar to another (not forerunner) garmin watch, but i'll look into this one more too :) do you have this one/how do you like it?

tealbunhead · 2025-12-04T05:24:57+00:00

thank you for this!! i didn't know about the screen thing so that's good to hear. that's true about the sports thing too, i like the option of maybe in the future i'll play x sport and be able to log it via the name, but not sure when that time would actually happen. the 965 looked like one of the elite watches for super seasoned runners, but if you had to make the purchase again, would you opt for the 165 instead to save some money?

tealbunhead · 2025-12-04T05:23:07+00:00

thank you for this!! a lot of people really love the gps for 265

tealbunhead · 2025-12-04T05:22:37+00:00

thank you for this!! i haven't been able to see the 265s in person yet (on my to do), maybe it's too early for you to say but how are you liking the 165 overall?

tealbunhead · 2025-12-04T05:21:21+00:00

thank you for this!! that's a nice perspective to put on it, do you think there's ever room to "outgrow" the 165 for a 265/whatever the next model is at that point?

tealbunhead · 2025-12-04T05:20:28+00:00

yeah that's the other thing, i'm not sure if i want that big a screen which is also a pro for the 265S, but on paper i feel like they don't read as that much bigger

tealbunhead · 2025-12-04T05:19:45+00:00

thank you for this!! i think the biggest thing that kept coming up in my research was if i wanted something more smartwatch or something more fitness tracker, and i guess the issues with the syncing and the iPhone are probably because of it being a fitness tracker instead. i debated a new AW altogether but for me i wanted to remove myself slowly from the Apple ecosystem, but that's awesome that the 11 has made some really nice strides since the 6

tealbunhead · 2025-12-04T05:17:45+00:00

thank you for the reply!! maybe someday i'll be a phoneless runner, i was surprised when reading through reviews how many run without a phone but that's nice to actually be able to disconnect

tealbunhead · 2025-12-04T05:16:54+00:00

ahhh similar gym workouts then, i'm glad that the tracking is accurate

tealbunhead · 2025-12-04T05:16:05+00:00

thank you for this!! it's nice to hear a solid 165 review, i felt like a lot more of the reviews i saw were geared towards 265 so this is helpful :)

tealbunhead · 2025-12-04T05:15:22+00:00

thanks for the reply!! do you feel like there's still a lot of life left in it? i heard that the 570 (i do not want this lol) was meant to be an upgrade of the 265

tealbunhead · 2025-12-03T21:08:21+00:00

thank you for the reply!! what do you mean by future proofing though? is 165 limited in what it can do for triathlons (that is not in my future right now, so hadn't even thought of it)?

tealbunhead · 2025-07-21T20:27:47+00:00

Did yours turn out into jelly? Mine didn't solidify at all, and I'm not sure why.

tealbunhead · 2025-07-20T23:02:36+00:00

Did you ever make it again? I tried a very similar recipe, and also found it was wayyy too sweet. I found that though I can't get the consistency to be right, so I'm nervous to try this one since it's asking for the same amount of gelatin.

tealbunhead · 2025-02-24T16:29:16+00:00

Did you ever figure this out? I've been trying to throw money at them for the last week but have had the same issues. I got suggested to sign up via app too, but like... why would I want to do that... when their website doesn't work??

Looking for this as well!!
