@@reginaldgonzales I’m a male. I think with 155mm wrist you can’t go wrong with either size. I’m more lenient to smaller size tho for comfort reason knowing that I will use the watch almost all the time (including during sleep).
Great watches! Picked my Coros pace 3 over then and saved $220! The Coros app is unreal in how good and clean and easy it is to navigate. Those garmin have killer displays though!
Oh man that’s wicked!! I’d love to test out the Coros Pace 3! Both the Pace 3 and the Suunto Race S are great value for money watches 🔥😍 Yeah the screen on the 265’s are FIRE to be fair 🙈
You keep saying that the two screens are exactly the same... except for one very important consideration... the fact that the 265’s screen is larger. When you turn 60, having the larger screen makes all the difference in the world!
This is very true! Tbh if seeing the screen is an issue I would sway you away from the 265 completely and suggest checking out the 965 which has a massive screen (as big as the 51mm Epix 2X)! All the best mate 🌟
The watch face you used on the 265 is on the 265s San Em date fields. So was a little confused at the start. Great video though, think I’m still really happy with the 265s size but I gotta say I can’t stand the neon band. Just wish it was all black that’s literally my only complaint about the watch. I’ve turned off the always on display (used to Apple Watch SE) battery like is insane. I was so sick last and I think it’s amazing the watch hrv slowly increased as I got better and legit reflected how I felt. Really cool
As soon as I uploaded it I thought “actually, i swear that watch face is on them both” 💭 haha, my bad! Trying to pump these out when I can whilst working a job 🙈 Yeah same, 265s is definitely where the magic happens. Better battery life, super comfortable casing and comfortable band but yeah.. that crazy neon yellow is just too much 🤣 Tbh if I kept the 265s I’d probably install a nylon band on it like I did my 955 as it would make it soooo light and could have the band all black then. Perfect fix 👍🏽 HRV is really cool isn’t it! Seems like everyone’s getting sick at the moment, I was ill about 10 days ago and the HRV tanked.. what was more impressive is that it dropped before i was actually feeling symptoms 🤯 All the best Stefan 🌟
Ahh I feel your pain haha. The good news is that although the smaller one is the same price it actually has better battery life so you do get some benefits.. it’s also much more comfortable to wear. At 16.5 (same as me) you are dead in the middle.. could get away with either and both will feel bigger compared to your trusted 55 🌟 Hope this helps 😝

Out of both size watches, which did you prefer? I like the idea of having more data fields on the larger watch but wonder if the smaller one would be a lot more comfortable to wear 24/7. I have similar size wrists as you. Which did you prefer after trying both?
Get the smaller version! It’s more comfortable, has better battery life (crazy I know) and there’s not much in it with screen size anyway .. you’ll quickly get used to less data fields! That’s what I reckon

I can 100% guarantee that both the 265 & 265s would last a 8 hour non-gps activity with plenty of battery life left. Even in AOD mode this would be fine but you might be charging your watch every 3 days instead of every 15 days if 8 hours of daily yoga is your vibe 🤣
Hey King, thank you for your review. I have a small wrist (150mm circumference) and been torn between both versions. I would rather go for a 265s, but there is a huge discount on the regular 265 in my country (basically the same price as for the 255). Do you know how big Mikaela's wrist is? The regular 265 looks big on her wrist, but it is not unreasonably huge. Unfortunately, I do not have the opportunity to try this on. I have seen many posts of people with small wrists wearing a 955 and being ok with the size, but the 265 should be thinner and thus more comfortable. I was considering a 255 (regular size due to bigger display and better battery life), but then the 265 showed up with the discount :-). Thank you.
Hey there 🌟 A pleasure. Great question.. I have definitely seen people with smaller wrists than Mikaela’s rocking watches as big as the Forerunner 920XT so it’s not unheard of to wear big watches. I also think Mikaela’s wrist IS below 150cm, although I don’t know the exact size. If the deal is still on I’d say go for it.. and the deal sounds so good that if you don’t like the size you could probably sell on eBay and Make money from the sale. I would suggest avoiding the 255 at this moment in time as it’s still pretty expensive and the features and support by Garmin are quickly dropping. I must say.. have you thought about the Forerunner 965? It felt sooo comfortable on the wrist, comes with a massive screen (even though the casing feels smaller than the 265) and has insane battery life. But yeah to sum it up the 265 at that deal sounds like a no brainier.

Hi. Have you done any sleep tracking with the regular 265 and the 965? Any opinion on which if any were comfortable enough to sleep track with? Thanks for the help.
Sleep tracking is exactly the same on both 👍🏽 No advantage of having the 965. The duration accuracy is fairly good but one major floor is that Garmin don’t yet track naps so anyone with weird sleep routines will fail to capture their true sleep quality. My favourite feature (on both) is seeing how the trend of HRV goes up and down depending on how stressed the body’s nervous system is 🌟 Hope this helps John
@@ActiveIdeas Let me re-phrase my question. Is the 965 as comfortable to sleep track with as the 265? Its about .5mm wider and thicker than the 265. I was just wondering if that made a difference in terms of comfort. Or, maybe both are too bulky to sleep track with? Thanks for the help!
I seee! Erm.. yeah, absolutely no difference in comfort between the 265 and 965 both are who it the same. Not uncomfortable and you eventually forget you’re wearing it but not the best. On the contrary the 265s you forget you’re wearing it all the time and is super comfortable to sleep in.

Great comment! You might want to try the 965 which is the best of both words. If I'm being honest though, I hate wearing watches.. I'm always opting fir the smallest and lightest. However the fenix 7 Pro titanium has been lovely and comfortable to use.. its 47mm and also cones with a flashlight.. I'm sold. Highly recommend it 🌟
It is but annoyingly Garmin only seems to offer us " low medium and high" settings which is probably good enough for 70% of people but for the rest low isn't low enough, high isn't high enough and medium is very "meh" haha
I don’t think there’s much in it but in real world use you might get an extra couple of days out of the 255 (with always on display turned off on 265s)… but if you plan on having the 265s always on display on then you’ll get over a week of extra battery life on the 255 with the same settings 👍🏽Hope that helps 🌟🌺🪻
@ActiveIdeas thanks! I went with the 265s and I am blown away with battery life. Oh my goodness I love it so much compared to my Samsung galaxy watch 5
Anyone know why specs say “pool swim only”. Looking through the specs, I do not see any waterproof/resistance rating. If I swim in the ocean, will it implode?😂
🤣🤣 rest assured this watch is waterproof down to 50 metres, a rating of 5ATM. It’s good for indoor swimming (chlorine), lake swimming (dirt) and ocean/OpenWater swimming (salt). Just a simple rinse of water after your activity will suffice. No implosion, wooo! 🔥🤣
🤣🤣 I’d be lying if I said I haven’t experienced many occasions of lag, glitches and bugs on the x65 models but it definitely a vast improvement from the 955, although that’s not a very high standard to meet🤣 Video on this coming soon.. however, first I’ll let some more software updates come out, let the watch collect >3 weeks of data & then see if after everything has stabilised if these things still happen 👍🏽🌟 #HONESTreview
If you have any questions for Mikaela or myself pop them in the comments and we’ll get straight back to you ASAP! All the best everyone 🔥🌟

cheers bud. 265s is the way to go then...
Enjoy bud ❤️
It's does not look too big for you, it actually looks good, the small one looks very small for you
Thanks for the comment ❤️ beauty is in the eyes of the beholder I guess.. very subjective 🙈
Does the watch size 42m 265S fit on 22mm yellow bracelets?
I believe it is 18mm unfortunately in 265s
@@ActiveIdeas
did you try before to put 22mmbands
on 18 mm ? or 20
I’m 99% sure only 18mm bands will fit on a 18mm lug Watch.. .. if you want bigger bands you’ll hVs to get the larger 265 instead
Is 255 battery better than 265s?
I don’t think there’s much in it but in real world use you might get an extra couple of days out of the 255 (with always on display turned off on 265s)… but if you plan on having the 265s always on display on then you’ll get over a week of extra battery life on the 255 with the same settings 👍🏽Hope that helps 🌟🌺🪻
@ActiveIdeas thanks! I went with the 265s and I am blown away with battery life. Oh my goodness I love it so much compared to my Samsung galaxy watch 5
Love it 🙈🌟
To fast editing at beginning when watch is on wrists.
I agree! Thanks for the comment 🌟 We’re always aiming to improve over here 🙈
Can you clarify the wrist sizes shown in the video, both the male and female? It would help gauge the size better.
Anyone know why specs say “pool swim only”. Looking through the specs, I do not see any waterproof/resistance rating. If I swim in the ocean, will it implode?😂
🤣🤣 rest assured this watch is waterproof down to 50 metres, a rating of 5ATM. It’s good for indoor swimming (chlorine), lake swimming (dirt) and ocean/OpenWater swimming (salt). Just a simple rinse of water after your activity will suffice. No implosion, wooo! 🔥🤣
@@ActiveIdeas ; Ahhh, thank you!
A pleasure 👊🏽
Hello.
255 vs 265
GPS which is better?
Thanks
GPS was fantastic in both of my units, both have multiband 👍🏽 The battery life will be better on the 255 though using these higher GPS modes 🌟
Can u download music on that?
You absolutely can! I prefer the streaming/downloading on the Spotify app on the watch but you can download MP3’s if you want 👍🏽
@@ActiveIdeas awww sweet. Thank u for ur reply. i really appreciate it💗
@carinsaj1266 an absolute pleasure 🌟🌟
Lags, glitches, bugs... it looks like if Garmin was a new chinese brand hitting the market 🤷🏻♂️
WTH is going on !!!
🤣🤣 I’d be lying if I said I haven’t experienced many occasions of lag, glitches and bugs on the x65 models but it definitely a vast improvement from the 955, although that’s not a very high standard to meet🤣 Video on this coming soon.. however, first I’ll let some more software updates come out, let the watch collect >3 weeks of data & then see if after everything has stabilised if these things still happen 👍🏽🌟 #HONESTreview
46mm....... The Panerai of running watches.
Yesss, all about that magical 46mm 🔥 👊🏽
265 ist much to big
I agree 🙈 But also the 265s ist much to big.
@@ActiveIdeas as a man I Will. Take the S
@danysnf1467 do it 🔥
I am using the larger one but I think it's not enough big for my 17.5cm wrist 😂😂
Sounds like the 965 is the perfect size for you mate 🤣 didn’t consider that one? (I’ve got that video coming tomorrow) 🙈🤣
