Our Comment

If you can afford it, go for the Forerunner 265. The AMOLED display gives the 265 a premium feel and makes it feel like a proper upgrade on the Forerunner 255.  The Garmin Training Readiness Score is also a big plus.

There is a very comprehensive guide on the watch from DC Rainmaker which you can find here, Garmin Forerunner 265 review by DC Rainmaker.
