Confession: Despite making my living writing about fitness and reviewing workout gear, I’ve never been someone who likes wearing a fitness tracker 24/7. There’s only ever been one that’s tempted me to turn into a full-time watch person — the Garmin forerunner 265.
It’s not the fanciest or highest-priced device I’ve ever slipped on my wrist; in fact, it’s only a fraction of the cost of Garmin’s most expensive watches. But it gives me the kind of feedback that actually makes nonstop wear worth it. Plus, it’s small and comfortable enough that I don’t mind keeping it on all day. I’ve tested it out a couple of different times now, and it continues to deliver everything I need to train as hard as I want, whether I’m gearing up for a marathon or just trying to increase my daily steps.
