Garmin - Forerunner 165 GPS Smartwatch 43 mm Fiber-Reinforced Polymer - Black/Slate Gray - (2024)

Solid product. Purchased to track my sleep, HR, and bc I’m training for Hyrox it’ll dial me in with detailed info. Use it everyday and sleep with it no problems. Alcohol swab daily to clean it after gym sessions. Durable. Very accurate and easy to use. Battery lasts about 10-14 days for me and I plug it in for about 2 hours and it’s good for another round. Simple!

Have used this watch every single say since I have purchased. Long battery life, easy to use, tracks everything accurately. Best smart watch I've owned.

I recently got my hands on the Garmin Forerunner, and I have to say, it’s a game-changer for anyone serious about fitness. From the moment I put it on, I could tell this watch was built for performance. The tracking is incredibly accurate—whether it’s steps, heart rate, or GPS during runs, I’ve seen precise readings every time. The design is sleek and lightweight, making it comfortable to wear all day without feeling bulky. I especially love how customizable the watch faces are, so I can get all my stats at a glance without digging through menus. Battery life is excellent, easily lasting days even with continuous GPS use, which is perfect for long runs or multi-day activities. What really sets it apart is the integration with Garmin Connect. Syncing my workouts and analyzing my progress has never been easier. It even gives insights into recovery, sleep, and stress levels, which helps me optimize my training. Overall, the Garmin Forerunner isn’t just a watch—it’s a personal trainer on your wrist. Whether you’re a casual runner or a hardcore athlete, it’s worth every penny.

Switched from an Apple Watch to the Garmin Forerunner 165 and I’m never going back! It is everything I needed in a running watch—lightweight, accurate, and incredibly user-friendly. The AMOLED display is crisp and easy to read even in bright sunlight, and the battery life easily lasts several days with daily GPS workouts. I love how smooth the GPS tracking is, and the heart rate and sleep tracking feel super reliable. The daily suggested workouts and training feedback keep me motivated without being overwhelming. Syncing with the Garmin Connect app is quick and seamless. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned runner looking for something lightweight but powerful, the Forerunner 165 is a fantastic choice. Highly recommend!

I love this watch and I’m thrilled that I chose the Garmin brand. Been heavily into health and fitness lately. I decided to get this watch in order to boost my physical activity level. The user interface is friendly (both the watch and the app). Lots of customization abilities. I love how I get my notifications. For someone who does running walking, cardio and weightlifting. This is perfect. I’m not some super athlete who needs all the extra functions that are in the other watches garmin provides. I think this is a nice size. Something that a lot of people don’t talk about is the actual glass watch face is set under the watch frame and not rounded out like an Apple Watch or the Venu series. Less room for damage imo! Very durable device nonetheless. Battery life is amazing.
