Multi-band GNSS is what distinguishes this from cheaper GPS watches and it is a genuine accuracy difference, not a marketing tier: in a street lined with tall buildings a single-band receiver bounces signal off walls and over-reports distance by metres per kilometre.

TheraBand Professional Latex Resistance Bands Set
₹2,499
Natural latex is the specification that needs stating before purchase rather than after, because latex allergy is common and TheraBand's non-latex line is a separate product.
Full details →Who the Garmin Forerunner 265 Running GPS Smartwatch is for
Buy it if: Runners training to pace in cities, where single-band GPS drift corrupts the data.
Avoid it if: Anyone running on open ground who mainly wants long battery life -- single-band is fine and lasts far longer.
Who the TheraBand Professional Latex Resistance Bands Set is for
Buy it if: Anyone following a physiotherapy protocol written against TheraBand colour resistances.
Avoid it if: Anyone with a latex allergy -- the non-latex TheraBand line is the correct product.
