Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

awesome watch, just wish I could afford the bigger size!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

This watch is everything I was hoping for. It gives me the running metrics that I care about being a newer runner and the display is bright and clear. At this price point, you will have a hard time finding a running tracker with this many features and ease of use. I have been in the garmin family for a long time, this is my favorite watch yet.

It's a little smaller than my last smartwatch but the battery life and fact that I didn't use my Galaxy watch to its full potential is the main I reason I got it and I don't regret it one bit. Maybe in a few years I'll buy a bigger version of a Forerunner cause it just feels a little small on my wrist.

The watch works great. It is accurate and is extremely helpful for monitoring heart rate, pace, and distance. I recommend this watch.

Light weight and accurate GPS tracking. I love the vivid colors in the sum

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.

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 am loving this smartwatch very much. I needed to replace my 10 year old smartwatch and decided to upgrade to this one. It works really well. The steps are pretty accurate. The heart rate is spot on. I'm loving it.

Love the garmin, feel it keeps all of my workout readings as accurate as possible. Doesn’t bother me on my wrist

My granddaughter is a cross-country runner and was trying to get a new personal record but was having trouble setting her pace right. I got her the Garmin watch and wow did that help and she set two new personal records. She really likes the app that she can see the course that she ran and the pace changes that earned her an all conference 3rd place as a high school sophomore.

Upgraded from the Vivosmart, which finally died after a few years. It's a nice upgrade, and seems to read my levels a bit better. The user interface took some getting used to...and there weren't very clear instructions. Some of the touch settings took some figuring out. But after some fiddling around, I think I got it. The wrist band is more comfortable, and battery life is excellent so far! Can't comment on durability yet, as I haven't had it long enough.
