    I am a little disappointed. It doesn't do all that the salesman represented to me that it would do. The band was a lot too small.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Switched from an Apple Watch Series 9 to a Garmin Forerunner 165 and am absolutely glad and do not doubt my choice at all.

    The watch itself is great. Very responsive and bright colors in all lighting. I have larger wrist and the length of the band isnt as long as my old instance. I alsk dont like the 20mm wide band but coydlnt justify slending an extra $150 for the 265 just to have a little wider band. Overall, this watch does what i need it to.

    I'm on my second Garmin watch, and I'm still amazed by how great the screen looks! The ability to customize the watch faces is a fantastic feature. The design is so clean and sleek that it feels far more premium than its price would suggest. It's truly a great value, and the affordability made it an easy decision.

    In the second week of using it, the screen went black. After browsing a bit, I saw that it was normal — you just have to restart it. Despite this, it’s an excellent watch for the price.
