Running

Just bought a forerunner 265. My first garmin watch. Any tips?

Nice! I will do an intervals run tomorrow. I will do this

I have the Forerunner 935. If you are following a program that has intervals, it's pretty cool to add them manually in the App first (especially if they have varying distances/times) and then load them unto the watch

I found the default HR zones to be inaccurate, so I’d change those first thing.

Sync with the mobile app and optionally to Strava as well.

I’ve had to put the watch on the underside of my wrist while running to get a better hr reading. My problem is that it would lock in on my cadence occasionally

Amazing! Thanks for this!

I will buy a screen protector

screen protector saved my screen from many many scratches. Highly recommend. Rinse off the heart rate sensor weekly to keep your HR readings accurate. Debris can impede on the light sensor that reads your HR.
