Forerunner 965 or 265S
Hi everyone. I just got into running very recently and I love it, I wanna get a smartwatch that can help me track my runs better and make it easier for me to see my stats. I already have a Whoop but I’m not really a big fan of the activity tracking especially for running. I’m also a female with 14 cm wrists and I wanna get a Garmin watch and I found the 965 for about $462 USD. While the 265S is around $500 USD. I’m torn between which one to get because I don’t wanna have a really big watch on my wrist because I wanna wear my watch 24/7 and I don’t want it to look bulky. Should I get the 965 or the 265S and sacrifice the extra features and battery life just for it to look a little smaller and less weird lol
Also sorry if my formatting is weird this is my first ever reddit post :) thank you
