Customer Ratings & Reviews

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

Great watch and fitness tracker! Great service from employees, too! Much better than the Tyler Best Buy.

I love the watch, I mived from Apple to Fitbit to Garmin and I can say i love Garmin. I love the reports it guves me and the customization it allows me.

I really like my forerunner 165 especially caming from the forerunner 55. Tge display is really bright and the battery life is still amazing.

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.

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

I LOVE my Forerunner. The battery charges fast and lady a few days and the customization of faces and workouts really works for me!!

I used this for cycling and running battery life is amazing and tracks your sleep couldnt ask for more would recomend 100 %!

Quality materiales and wonderful smartwatch for runners.

Truly best bang for your buck if you’re a beginner-intermediate runner because of the features it offers although I wish I got the music edition the standard is best definitely recommend

Great option for running and swimming. I love this watch so far. I recommend this watch for training.

Love it great functions. Nice touch screen too. Good data

Mostly good, but had trouble getting GPS to connect. Call with Garmin was very helpful.
