Customer Ratings & Reviews

Easy to set up. Pretty accurate readings. Light weight. Good software features for running. Good battery life. Overall great purchase for this price.

The Garmin Forerunner 165 GPS works phenomenal—fast GPS lock, accurate tracking, and super easy to use. Perfect for both daily runs and long training sessions!

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!

While this watch may be minimalistic, it's what I personally like because everything you need is in this little watch. Especially if you're just starting your physical fitness journey with personalized workouts and overall levels and benchmarks to see where you stand. It's a great entry level watch of course missing some of the bells and whistles of the more expensive ones but if you're starting out this will do just the job

AMAZING! The best watch I have ever gotten. It has everything I need as a runner and way more! Works very well and is super accurate. Watch battery is amazing and screen display is awesome. Arrived on time looking perfect!

It’s dope, I recommend because of the battery life and features.

It's the best I could buy for my sport I was about to get depressed when I started training to be a runner and now I was able to buy my Garmin with you and it was the best thank you very much for everything you helped me

My husband loved his Garmin! He is getting very good use out of it. He loves the GPS when hunting, he doesn’t need his phone out. He also loves that it gives him feedback on his sleep and heart.

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!!!!

5day battery with daily 45min run. Charging time 2h. Great gps signal. Great sleeping tracker. Great notifications from phone. Very light and comfy.

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.

[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.

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.

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.

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 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.
