Customer Ratings & Reviews

I got the watch as a surprise for my birthday!!! Great watch for the task needed for training and review my progress. Its easy to use learn the functions and review with exact processtion needed for goal to train as a new runner for my 10k and soon a marathon.

[Employee of bestbuy] The battery life on this watch is amazing. The things that it can track is amazing. I love the sleep tracker.

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.

Have had nothing but great things to say about the Garmin watch, very sleek look, light weight and easy to sleep with it on, helpful for tracking my sleep, will definitely buy again

I had the first generation of the Samsung Watch when it first came out. I had an early Garmin watch, too. This watch was $212 after tax. Compared to those watches is like comparing a flip phone to a current model. The features, app and ease of use are ridiculous. I wish I had bought it earlier. It makes me want to swim/bike/run more and harder, now that I have it.

This watch is perfect for my needs. I run about 3 times per week and got the watch to program my pace during outside runs. It took about a week to learn the watch but it is working great. I used this to replace a fitbit. Very satisfied with the purchase, don't think I needed the 265 and I don't feel like I'm missing anything.

The Garmin Forerunner 165 is a lightweight, affordable GPS smartwatch ideal for runners. It features a bright AMOLED display, over 25 sport modes, and solid health tracking tools like heart rate and sleep monitoring. With up to 11 days of battery life and personalized workouts via Garmin Coach, it's a great value—though GPS accuracy may dip in dense areas. A solid pick for everyday athletes.

Crazy batery life. Tracking on my runs very consistent

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.

I love it, it works perfectly and il the battery life is really good

After multiple marathons, half marathons and countless other running events, I finally caved and got a Garmin watch. So far, the watch makes tracking my runs easier and I could connect it to the app I’ve been using all these years so I can compare times. I opted for a lower cost Garmin, because I wasn’t convinced I’d wear it. But this watch really has everything I need, and I’m intrigued by all the stats reported so I’m wearing it! And it’s made me better at answering my phone since it alerts me when my always-on-silent phone is ringing.

Brilliant watch for runners. Switched from 6 years of using Fitbit and couldn't recommend more. Highlights include running GPS map, great battery life and AMOLED screen.

I love the size and weight for my wrists that are on the smaller size. Quality still remains to be seen but it is good ol' Garmin quality based on first impressions.

I’ve been using the Garmin Forerunner 165 for about two months now, and overall, I’m really impressed. I’m mainly a recreational runner (5Ks and occasional 10Ks), but I also wanted a watch that could track daily activity and workouts without being overly bulky or complicated

Love it, its smaller but still has amazing battery life 10/10

I can use it everyday for a week without having yo charge it, also it helps a lot while working out.

Great watch for runners. It is the most accurate watch out there when tracking distance and times. Easy to use.

My husband loves this watch. Many features. The best one is the sleep tracker and he loves the long lasting battery.

Love this watch! This is perfect for any runner, battery lasts weeks!

Purchased to help track fitness as I’m new to running. It was priced well and has everything you would need as a beginner. It is constructed well. Great battery life and display even in the sun.
