Hey, I could be wrong, but I think the "multiply height by width" calculation is for the area of a square/rectangle. For something like a circular watch face, I think it's πr^2. For the 255s, that would be 37,325 pixels. 255 would be 53,093 pixels 265s would be 101,788 pixels 265 would be 135,918 pixels. Love the reviews, though.

Another thought: connect iq screens are a good fit to amoled screens that aren't in always on mode, as they're limited to 10 seconds of 1sec refresh due to Garmin's power usage profiles. The wake gesture gives the connect iq screen another 10 seconds of 1 sec refresh, so you don't see any difference between those and the built-in screens. The higher resolution also works well with the data-rich connect iq screens. 😊

I wanted to do it right away just in case they sell out or I pass the return date. Initial thoughts: the new display looks great, definitely worth it IMO. Super bright compared to the 255. The touch screen has been nice going through some of the setup too, not sure if I will use that when training, but it's a nice option to have. The wristband feels a little nicer then the 255 to me as well. I have to get used to the display turning on/off on a regular basis as it's a little strange to look down and see a dark screen but a glance or a tap and it comes right on.

I wouldn't think of replacing it. I was looking for a watch with MIP. I could have bought a Venu 2 if I wanted to enjoy AMOLED all day long. But, no! I had the "luck" to use an AMOLED watch, but it was a misery for me. Yes, AMOLED is nicer, but that's where the benefits end (for me). It consumes more power (poorer battery life), and outdoors, especially in sunlight (spring, summer, kayaking, cycling) the readability is incomparable. No buttons to push, no "wake up". The display is always active (not the fake "AOD") and you don't have to worry about getting burnt out. For a sports watch like this, I think the AMOLED is completely unnecessary. They should have come out with a newer Vivoactive with such a display rather than spoil the Forerunner with it.

I'm tired of garmin limiting software features on watches with no reason, and punishing they users. And even worse. A really bad support when You update a firmware, they never answer bug reports , and don't let you downgrade the firmware. I hope that Apple bring some of the "ultra" features to the standard Apple Watch and improve sport features and I will leave garmin.

Apple won’t bring Ultra features to the normal Apple Watch for the same reason Garmin won’t bring new features to older watches.

@@MartijnPeek Nah, Apple will trickle down some of the Ultra’s features over the next couple of years while still improving the Ultra, the same way they trickle down features from their regular watch into the SE. They will over time eat into Garmins market share.

thanks for this video. just a bit of constructive criticism- i find your hands and arms moving around a bit too much and quite distracting. so i just listen to your audio on those parts

I’ve noticed that the elevation data from my 265 is very inaccurate! My old 235 was much better for elevation. It’s really obvious on looped runs where it varies wildly for the same spots on each loop! Not sure what to do about it.

Unified Training Stats sounds like may be a solution to my concern about getting a watch too large to consistently sleep with. Could I use that feature to wear a very slim watch or other device at night for sleep tracking? Would I need it be a specific device thay has full compatibility with that feature? Any suggestions on a lightweight garmin sleeping device that would allow me to use that feature?

This could be a good replacement for my 945, not sure if the 965 is worth it besides the better looking metal ring.

I currently have the Forerunner 45… no where close to being as advanced as these current watches. The band/screws don’t hold properly and I’ve replaced it 3x now and it currently broken again after 3 days of use. Looking to upgrade maybe to the 265? I own an iPhone but I’ve always owned Garmin watches. What do you think? Buy the Garmin Forerunner 265 or look/consider and Apple Watch? Huge purchase so really trying to do my research first.

I have the Apple Watch Ultra and consider switching it for the Garmin 965, still hate the battery life on the Ultra. With WiFi enabled, doing 2 hours of workout and listing to music I only get about 24 hours, but sometimes the battery drains more quickly and after 8 hours it's dead (sometimes process in the background gets hanged or Spotify consumes all the battery). This is the problem with Apple Watches, unless you definitely want a computer on your wrist with smart watch capabilities, your trade off is the battery life. I previously had a Garmin 945LTE and I miss the body battery (quite accurate for me), training readiness, and morning report. Also train with HRV, and Apple Watch Ultra sucks for that and gives me completely random number. So there you have it, if you care about a Watch for health and sports tracking, buy a Garmin. If you don't mind charging your watch every day and even want to call with your watch, buy an Apple Watch ;)

Hey, has the breathing app been visually improved in any way on 965/265, since they both have AMOLED? Does it look now more like Venu (or exactly like Venu) or is it still like 255 (which, honestly, was a really bad experience)?
