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 🔥🌟

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!

[bgm-]

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!

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

[loulou]

I got the 265 just because I didn’t like the colours that came in the 265S.. I wanted just plain black but the S edition has the green parts☹️

[satyamevjayate]

I've 16.5 cm wrist.. thinking of going with larger size and ordered one. But then I came across your video now I think I ordered too big for my wrist. Still I hope it fits my wrist and avoid exchanging it for smaller one.

[riff]

Maybe you're not getting the same training suggestion at 9:33 because the left watch didn't have your sleep schedule history.

[JhustinNunag]

Darn with same price for different size. Torn between these two. I only have 16.5cm. Currently using forerunner 55.

[exa]

It's does not look too big for you, it actually looks good, the small one looks very small for you

[francoislabuschagne]

Thanks for showing the two sizes together. I think a 20mm strap would have looked better on the 265s.

[MuchoMate]

Im so undecided I'm a guy, 172mm wrists.
I find the safest might be the larger one, but probably the small one might look more natural. I don't want to buy both, probably I should and return one

[simplerenko]

Hey, great video bro.
I bought the 265s to have more comfort especially at night.

But I find the strap small, it's ok for my arm but in the evening I like to loosen the strap, for more comfort and I find myself adjusting 3 holes before the last of the strap.

So I think for some people this bracelet might be too small.

[myrisek]

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.

[e.r.]

My wrist is 14 cm, better the 265S version, right? Thanks for the video.

[WariWahab]

The route map will only appear on the watch you record in, other devices will get the summary.

[joyceb]

Could you please have a guess as to whether the 265 or 265S would be able to do 8 hours of Yoga Activity (ie no GPS) in a day in AOD mode before needing a charge? Or in Gesture only mode?
I don’t mind daily charging if required.
Choosing between this and more expensive Fenix 7S Solar Sapphire.

[reginaldgonzales]

155mm what’s perfect for me? I want also the comfort and less weights so that i can wear it all the times.

[italia]

wow bro did they fix the glitch ? i was like i prefer save money to get the 265 event if it's 2x the price because i said amoled and touchscreen i need it! due to ur video im wondering if i don't just go coros pace 3 for 250 only. What do u think? dunno if they got glitch bug too? but for half the price i think i need to reconsider !

[johnmanley]

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.

[faridsabir]

I want to ask im a man who have small wrist its like about 15.6 cm or 6.2 inch its good for me to pick up 265 or 265s? Thankyou for your advice
