Which one fits you

Both need much the same wrist — roughly 49–67mm across the flat of the wrist. Neither will fit where the other won't, so decide on thickness, weight and features instead.

The epix™ Pro (Gen 2) – Standard Edition | 47 mm wears larger than the Forerunner® 265 (47mm vs 46.1mm case), giving it more wrist presence — and needing a wider wrist to sit cleanly.

The Forerunner® 265 is the slimmer of the two (12.9mm vs 14.6mm), so it slides under a cuff more easily.

On the wrist the Forerunner® 265 feels lighter (47g vs 78g, case only).

Among the 98 47mm watches we hold thickness for, the epix™ Pro (Gen 2) – Standard Edition | 47 mm is thicker than 83% — it will sit high even though the case width reads modest.

The Forerunner® 265 is middle-of-the-pack for thickness among the 150 46mm watches in the database.

The epix™ Pro (Gen 2) – Standard Edition | 47 mm is 0.9mm wider, 0.9mm longer, 1.7mm thicker and 31g heavier than the Forerunner® 265. Both are circular.

For sports watches, Lug-to-Lug (L2L) is what matters most. Bulky is fine — overhang is not.
