You don’t need to spend $1,100 on the latest Fenix 8 to get a serious running watch that tracks everything you need. The sweet spot in Garmin’s lineup has always been the Forerunner series, and for good reason: these watches outsell everything else in the brand’s catalog. The Forerunner 265 is the most premium and popular model in the range and packs a brilliant AMOLED display and advanced training metrics that rival watches costing twice as much. Amazon just quietly marked it down to $299, slashed from its usual $449 price tag. That’s an all-time low for a watch that delivers fantastic running features without the extreme price of Garmin’s flagship models.
