Perfect Balance of Performance and Simplicity
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!

So much in this watch!
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.
