We called the Forerunner 265 the best running watch on the market, but it's actually the 965. The only problem is that the 965 is quite expensive, so you may want to save money with its mid-range sibling — which has most of the same tech.
The Forerunner 265 has more accurate GPS and better training tools, while the Venu 3 has a mic & speaker, a more stylish design, and ECG/ skin temperature readings. Each has its strengths and weaknesses.
