Because the promotion is due to end within hours and stock is limited, it’s worth acting quickly-there’s a real chance the listing could sell out before the deadline. On this item, AliExpress also advertises free, fast delivery, a 15‑day return window with refund, the option to pay in four interest‑free instalments via PayPal (with full reimbursement), and a two‑year warranty.

Garmin Forerunner 265: why this smartwatch is worth considering

The Garmin Forerunner 265 is designed to be a versatile smartwatch you can comfortably wear every day. It combines thorough health tracking with comprehensive sports tracking. Using its built‑in sensors, it monitors your heart rate, blood oxygen level, stress, Body Battery, and sleep quality.

On the training side, it includes more than 30 activity profiles-including swimming, running, cycling, football, and climbing-so you can capture detailed performance statistics no matter what you practise. The goal is not only to help you push your limits, but also to improve your recovery between sessions. It can also suggest programmes tailored to your current ability and objectives.

It’s well suited to water-based activities such as swimming, diving, and surfing, thanks to its 5 ATM rating, which indicates water resistance down to 50 metres. The watch also includes GPS for accurate positioning.

In terms of design, the Garmin Forerunner 265 comes in an elegant 46 mm case and features a responsive AMOLED touchscreen measuring 3.3 cm (1.3 inches), offering clear visuals and enough brightness to read your stats at any time of day.

Battery life is another strong point: it can last up to 13 days in smartwatch mode and up to 20 hours in GPS mode, placing it among the more enduring options available. It also supports smart notifications (messages and calls from your phone) and mobile payments via Garmin Pay.

Getting the most out of the Garmin Forerunner 265 day to day

To make the most of your Garmin Forerunner 265, it’s worth taking a few minutes to fine-tune your settings after setup-particularly notifications, activity profiles, and health tracking preferences-so the watch focuses on what matters to you and avoids unnecessary distractions.

If you plan to use it regularly in the pool or at the seaside, it’s also sensible to rinse the watch with fresh water after saltwater exposure and ensure straps and charging contacts are clean and dry. That small habit can help keep everyday performance consistent over time.

All in, this smartwatch is a strong choice if you want a capable yet understated device for sport and real‑time health tracking. If you’ve been waiting to pick it up at a genuinely lower price, this offer makes it far easier to justify.
