Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

10/10 I’m a beginner runner this watch does beyond my needs It’s comfortable light and very easy to start and use right away also I feel it’s adorable

I was very suprised with how long the batterlife lasted. I came in needing an upgrade from my samsung watch and this one was perfet. I have used it everyday for track practice and it tracks everything wonderfully.

Very nice and very accurate. I love this watch and all its features. Very happy with my purchase of this garmin and from the staff at Best Buy.

This Garmin is awesome. I've used Garmin running watches since 2008 and needed a new one. I've also had fitbit for years as a daily watch and didnt think i needed a Garmin to wear all day until i got the 165. It does so much. You can customize everything. The battery life is also amazing. I dont run as much as i did in my younger years but running 15 or so miles a week is nothing for the 165. What is cool is it only uses the gps while runni g so the battery lasts way longer. The batter will go 10 days no problem. Overall im loving the 165.

Great for my needs when it comes to running 6 out of the 7 days of the week. Battery life is so great and I only have to charge it once a week. Super good when it comes to workout days for me and gps connects quickly so no cameras waiting before the run.

I love the battery life it lasts me all week it’s pretty comfortable I don’t usually feel it I like being able to track all of my steps and running/workouts without having to carry my phone around everywhere. The only thing I dislike about this watch is the price but it is 10/10 worth it in my opinion.

Ive been into running for awhile now and I love love love this watch! you can connect garmin to strava to upload your runs and you dont need to carry a phone on you! great build quality and very easy to use! Battery last forever too!

Amazing for running! Currently training with it for my marathon. I never take it off. Super light weight. Beautiful investment

It does what the description says, but I dont't think the description gives it justice on how flexible it is. For example, I can enter "Hot Yoga" as a physical activity and it takes measurements on heart rate and loss of water through sweat, etc. I can go in and correct details about strength training if need be. Battery lasts a while and charges very quickly. **although this is not a medical device and not intended as such** my doctors are reevaluating a sleep disorder due to readings taken at night. I love that you can customize the watch face (even if it is an additional app). I can tell it what notifications from my phone i don't want it displaying. One of my favorite parts are the cute little "believe in yourself" messages after the morning reports.

It’s very perfectly watch , I wasn’t expecting, because I have experience Garmin watch , I bought cheaper, I found what I want

My first watch to track down my sleep and jogging. I love it and helps me out a lot. Would recommend for first time joggers

Great watch keeps track of workouts and stuff's taken a lot of different faces and add-ons you can give for it as well,

Perfect and accurate for tracking your health, sleep and daily activity

I love my garmin!! I made the switch from an Apple Watch and I’ll never go back. The battery life is crazy! I love not having to charge it everyday.

This is an amazing watch best feature is how easy it connects to your phone and also and the information you get once you finish your run also the battery is amazing it last up to 10 days which is perfect for me before i used to have apple watch and i would have to charge every night wich i couldnt track my sleep unlike this one. 100% recommend.
