    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

    Absolutely LOVE this watch! I was trying to decide between this and the Apple Watch and this has by far been the best choice I could have made! It works so great with my running and even alerts me with my notifications and calls. Just what I needed!!!

    The watch has been great thus far. Upon purchase the employee was helpful, going the extra mile and upon pick up I had a similar experience, seeing how the employees did their best to serve me quickly.

    This was a gift for my wife to replace a Garmin Approach she thought she lost. She uses it for running. I can’t give details other than she loves it and she enjoys the positive/inspiring messages the watch offers to motivate her. She has also raved about the battery life.

    I really enjoy how it track sleep and stress levels a little disappointed that I cannot answer phone calls or respond to text messages even though I can read them and see who’s calling but other than that, I think it’s a perfect watch.

    No complains so far. Battery life is crazy good. I love the size. I will probably upgrade in a couple of years to something a little bigger with more functions but coming from an Apple Watch this was a great jump.

    Works well especially notifications from iPhone to the watch. I've had a Fitbit for about 10 years. Garmin has much better battery life (one week) and tracking everything and more that you would want tracked. Better wristband.
