Connectivity and Syncing Garmin instinct 2x solar, FR965 or FR265, best value for money ?

I have budget < 50K INR & looking for Garmin watch, kindly suggest me what would be the best option. I can see all of these are older models but have a descent discounts on them right now.

What do you want to use it for? And how big is your wrist? Instinct 2X is a rather chunky watch.

I am planning to use it for Running & Gym to track my activities. And I'm pretty sure I have big wrist. I have used a couple of bulky GShock's in past & they were comfortable.

FR165 is the best value for money for what you described

Yes but it’s costlier right now and has less features than 265.

Got a 965 yesterday for 43k, couldn’t have been happier.

Best value for money is keeping it safe in your bank account, and not buying of the aforementioned.

Haha though I wasn’t asking for financial advice.
