  • Great value exchange in a sleek package.
Style: Standard Color: Black
This is an amazing product from Garmin. This is their entry level option and it’s very well made and good value for money. Better yet, got this around Thanksgiving so it was discounted. Very sturdy build with sleek design and quality materials and finish. Band could be an issue for larger persons but there are after market options available. Comes in a box with minimal items in it; charging cable (USB-C to Garmin’s proprietary attachment configuration) and a booklet. The user manual is available through a barcode that takes you to their PDF version of the manual, allowing for less bulk in the box. Tracks metrics well and offers a variety of functions to choose from, such as exercise tracking (across different activities), sleep tracking and certain lifestyle metrics such as heart rate and heart rate variability during sleep. Battery life is good but can vary depending on the notification settings you have as it vibrates to alert you of notifications as well. Great support and access to a variety of Garmin’s community activities and connections through the Garmin Connect app. Lots of challenges available too through the community functions in the app too, such as step goals, cycling and gym goals, swim goals etc. All in all, would recommend for anyone willing to make a low risk entry to Garmin’s platform or looking for a light weight option to help with activity tracking. ... show more

  • Excellent Battery Life and Accurate Tracking
Style: Standard Color: Black
This watch has been great so far. The battery life is impressive, especially for a smartwatch with a bright, colorful AMOLED display. The screen is clear, sharp, and easy to read in different lighting. Tracking is accurate for runs and daily activity, and the data feels reliable. It’s easy to use and does exactly what you expect from a Garmin running watch. Overall, a solid choice with strong battery life, great display quality, and dependable performance. ... show more

  • Game Changer for Fitness
Style: Standard Color: Whitestone
Such an excellent device. Had I known these watches were so good, I would probably have bought a more expensive one. To be fair this one does everything I need for cycling, running, hiking, and strength training. Has two sources of GPS so I get accurate tracking while up in the mountains by my area. Only feature that It doesn't have is music. They make a music version of this one which would be nice because then I could jog without a phone. ... show more

  • Excellent Fitness Watch!!
Style: Standard Color: Black
I’ve been really happy with my Garmin Forerunner 165. The battery life is good overall, though I do wish it didn’t drain as quickly during heavy use. Luckily, it charges back up very fast, so it never feels like a hassle. The design is one of my favorite parts, it’s lightweight, not bulky, and very comfortable to wear. When I’m running, I barely notice it on my wrist. The screen is bright and easy to read both indoors and outside, which makes checking stats mid-run super convenient. it’s loaded with helpful tools. I like that I can track my sleep, which gives me more insight into recovery. The built in apps make it easy to keep up with my workouts, and the connections to Strava and MyFitnessPal are a huge plus for tracking calories and training time all in one place. Overall, this watch strikes a great balance between comfort, smart features, and quick charging. I’d recommend it to anyone who wants an easy to use fitness watch that integrates well with other fitness apps. ... show more

  • The perfect gift for amateur runners
Style: Standard Color: Black
The battery life is amazing, last at least 5 days doing exercise every day, its GPS Accuracy and heart rate tracking are very useful on my training. I’ll definitely buy it again if I have to.

  • So far I'm very pleased!
Style: Standard Color: Whitestone
I've had my Forerunner 165 for a little over a month and I love it. I'm not a runner, I purchased this watch to help me improve my health by keeping track of it. I do hike/ walk, and workout. Had a Garmin vivo years ago which was excellent (2015-). Have had several lower priced smart watches recently but they just weren't accurate. So, I decided to go back to Garmin, and they still had my info from my Vivo days. Pros- Extremely clear (AMOLED) screen, even in full sun. Large array of watch faces (many paid) in connect IQ. The watch face in my first photo is a paid face (BLACK GRID). Swipe face- you do not have to press buttons. Just too much work if I had to press buttons continually for changes and settings. Speaking of- SO many cool settings! Lock device - took me a few weeks to realize I had this option. Locks your watch face screen so your movements don't change your watch settings. Weather, GPS, maps, TONS of stats (some of these need paid faces to show). You can join Garmin Connect + for a ton of additional stats and info and health tracking. Too many positives to list here. For the price this is an excellent smart watch. It fits my 7.5" wrist well. No irritation from the silicone band. Durability- GET a screen protector. There's no guarantees you won't accidently hit the face on a hard surface. I've learned from cheaper smart watches the faces can crack. The outter shell is very durable on this watch. Overall this watch is comfortable, you can change bands if you wish. It's mostly extremely accurate (few glitches and inaccuracies as I'll mention in cons). Very clear, bright, easy to read face even with my 66 year old eyes. Cons- These cons are not negatives just issues to deal with. Most people dont have "perfect health" so Garmin is going by your stats it picks up-yes, but doesn't know pain, fatigue, overall doesn't know your daily health conditions. No way to input your health conditions If you're sick, can't input this info either, so you'll be getting move, water, etc. reminders. Kind of silly in my opinion. Why not have an option in the Connect app to add these daily stats? Recovery times can be extreme- I try to follow the suggested recovery times but Garmin sometimes makes them extreme. Example - walking slowly around my small yard, dead heading flowers with clippers during recovery time (this moving around felt good) the Garmin felt I was exerting myself too much and added 7 hours to my recovery time. So it's not guaging my movements and stats correctly all of the time. Take it with a grain, its a "machine". Any activity drains battery. I've scaled way back on watch activities like messages, GPS maps, etc because they REALLY drain your battery. I'd have to charge it daily (or more) which I don't want to do. These are all fun activities to use on your watch, but they are very draining. My watch has days where it disconnects and connects to Bluetooth constantly. Don't know if its a watch issue or an issue on my end but it drives me crazy some days. I've restarted my phone and watch and sometimes this resolves the issue, sometimes not. It does NOT affect the watch performance though. It is still adding steps, etc. EXCELLENT smart watch. ... show more
