    The Garmin Forerunner 165 does what it promises — it tracks runs, workouts, and daily activity reliably. The GPS is accurate, and the battery life is solid enough for regular training sessions. However, the interface isn’t the most user-friendly, and it takes some time to get used to navigating the menus. It serves the purpose for fitness tracking, but it doesn’t deliver a “wow” factor compared to other smartwatches I’ve tried. Overall, a dependable device, but ease of use could be improved.

    Amazing watch! Sleek, Smart & Reliable

    I’ve been using this watch for a few weeks now and I’m genuinely impressed. It looks so sleek on the wrist, modern, lightweight, and goes with everything from gym clothes to dressy outfits. The battery life is way better than I expected, and the screen is super clear and responsive. What really sold me though is the health and fitness tracking. It’s accurate, easy to use, and actually motivates me to move more throughout the day. I love being able to check messages, control music, and track my sleep without needing to constantly pick up my phone. If you’re thinking about getting a smartwatch, THIS is the one. It’s the perfect balance of style, functionality, and performance. 10/10 recommend!

    Got this for my wife who is a marathon runner and she absolutely loves it. She was a fan of the Fitbits but says this watch is much more accurate and has more features.

    I had a very old Forerunner and after 10yrs the battery died which it is nla. I wasn't sure i wanted another Garmin, so I tried Fitbit, Galaxy and a different Garmin and none worked out. I finally caved and bought this Forerunner 165 and I love it. I wanted something simple and theres so much more on this watch then i expected. So many options, Running, treadmill, walking, biking, swimming, heart rate, music and tells you the pace, your averagepace, so much.. Also, the battery last days and even tells you the batterypercentage. Ignore the bad reviews, this watch is great. Just buy it!!!!

    First Garmin watch I've owned as I've been steadily increasing runs, hiking, etc. Being 52, this watch is perfect for tracking those. There are so many features on this watch that I've yet to explore. Fits great, light weight, bright screen and many customizable watch faces. Also, the data fields on the face... fantastic for a quick view.

    This watch is very good for focusing on your workouts. I really enjoy how focused it keeps you apart from the outside world distractions. One of the great things about this watch is that you will only hav to charge it once and it maintains its battery life for almost tone week!!! I also appreciate the accuracy of the GPS tracking and how accurately it tracks your steps and your workout goals. If you purchase this watch you wont regret it.

    The battery charges super fast. It measures sleep quality, recovery time after exercise, necessary water intake, and extreme cardiac damage based on intensity. Excellent cost-benefit ratio.
