I'm currently testing the balance 2 against my trusty dusty forerunner 265.

Which one do you prefer from an aesthetic point of view?

So far I would say that the Balance 2 is 97% capable of replacing the forerunner 265 on tracking running and training.

It is of course far superior in the smart features

Where the forerunner shines is in little details on how it presents data both in the app and during running, and also in how it guides you through programmed workouts and runs.

Both are great.
