Despite its high price, the Garmin Forerunner 265 is one of the best running watches you can currently buy. You get excellent tracking and coaching functions for your training, which you can use to monitor and control your activities. The beautiful, bright OLED display of the Forerunner 265 and a battery life of several days are also impressive.
