Running focused
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Coming from the Vivoactive 5, this not really an upgrade, but I wanted something more running focused and would not break the bank. This is it, especially if you are a new runner.

Cool watch
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was my first time using the Garmin watch and it has been a pretty good watch so far. I use it for the gym and recently started using it on my runs. The Garmin app paired with the watch gives so much statistics. I would say it is worth the price

For HR and sleeping indicators monitoring
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wear this watch 24/7 to monitor my heart rate and activity levels. It's especially important for me to track my heart rate while running—if it gets too high, I slow down. My previous model, the Forerunner 25, didn't have heart rate monitoring. I'm also using this watch to track my health and performance statistics.

Great Watch - perfect for runner/lifestyle
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really like this watch and the associated app. I mostly use it to track amount of sleep per day and heartbeat during weighlifting/running. The battery lasts super long, so I only need to charge it once a week even after running 2-3 times a week and weighlifting ~4 days a week. I've gotten pretty good data that has changed my training trends. Was originally worried about the accuracy of the GPS since I run in the city between large buildings, but I've only had to wait about 2 extra seconds for the GPS to connect and it's really accurate. Overall really sturdy (I've fallen on it on concrete and no scratches), long battery life, and really comfortable.

Functional but not very intuitive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great Watch but Busy Interface
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I finally wore out my Forerunner 45 to the point that it literally fell apart, and I had to get this guy. The watch is durable, as Garmin users know, and accurate, but I can't stand the new interface. Maybe because I made such a big generational jump, the software on this watch is a bit less intuitive, which means I have to fiddle when I am just trying to record a movement. Otherwise, great.

The Best Smart Watch EVER!!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this smartwatch to monitor my glucose levels, but to my surprise, this smartwatch does soooo much more. The battery life is insane. I can wear this watch for over 8 hrs and it is at 93% when I get home from work around 5 pm. Quick charging too, oh by the way, with the apps, you can create your own watch faces! Best smartwatch EVER!!!!!!
