Customer Ratings & Reviews

Excellent watch. Works for all the requirements I need in a fitness watch. While not a hard core runner, I like the recovery information.

Great starter watch if you're new to Garmin. Fully customizable. Easy to use and keep track of all your goals.

Ive always wanted a running watch to track my metrics ans this one is amazing. Best bank for your buck! You are provided with a map of your running route once finished. You can also opt to import one & follow it. Great.

I bought a Garmin forerunner 165 after having an Apple Watch for over a decade and found that I absolutely love it and will not be going back. The battery life is amazing lasting a week plus before ever needing a quick 1 hour charge to be back to 100% the app gives a lot of perks to being able to track things Apple doesn’t. If your looking for a fitness watch that still looks stylish look no further

Great features. I like it mich better than my apple watch. Very light and battery lasts more tha. 10 days!!

Sadly, my old Forerunner 235 gave up the ghost. During the years we were together, it apparently became a crime to have a simple B&W face on a watch that reliably tracks your run, links to a heart monitor, draws a map, and maybe alerts you to a text on your phone. The 165 is lovely and feels great and works great. But do I really need to see the time of day outlined in neon green and blue? Do I really need my total miles for the week listed right there above the time of day? Are there actually people who stress over their "Avg vertical ratio," "Avg vertical oscillation" and "Est Sweat Loss"? Does my watch really care how I feel (it honestly asks that!) after a run? How does it THINK I feel? I feel tired, because I just ran. What the heck is my "Body Battery"? And I'm not in kindergarten, so I don't need that gold trophy after a new "record." I've spent my first few days busily disabling features. The 165 GPS links quicker than my 235, it has a more solid connection to my heart monitor. It feels great. I think I'll learn to love it. But I sure do miss that old 235.

I run quite a bit myself, and it’s been great for sleep tracking, health, and pretty much everything I would need. I’ve worn it every day, and trust me when I say that there is no lack of information. Everything I would need to see I can find in the app or on the watch itself. Amazing product

Grea twatch.. gps is really good... i have multimodes.. calculates accurate details for bp monitor

Love this watch! great battery life and better performance compared to apple watch. Also lighter than an apple watch.

This watch is so useful in many ways I cannot list them all. The display is very crisp and a lot of customization options for it. The most common use for it, running, is extremely accurate.

Love it, better than apple watch for runs. Never have to charge it.

This watch initially caught my eye due to the battery life. However, it has drastically contributed to my fitness goals and overall health. The health insights it provides are far more intuitive then my previous watch- which makes sense. This is a fitness tracker where my other watch was a smart watch, so they are obviously built to do different things. Besides the battery life, my favorite feature of this watch is that adjusts to you. Meaning if I’m having a less active week then I typically would and my step count is down, the watch will adjust my step goal accordingly BY ITSELF. So it may not be classified as a “smart watch” but it is far more smart than any watch I’ve ever owned!

it was one of the best smart watches i have ever had , nice, sleek and efficient when i had it during running or even in the gym i was totally satisfied.

Nice omoled touch screen great battery last two weeks wthought the gps on verry ocurate heart monitor

A device that, despite being an entry-level device, has all the features a runner needs. Battery life is a plus for the product.

My husband absolutely loves this watch! I got it for him as an anniversary gift. He swims, cycles and runs. He says that it is perfect for all his activities and syncs up with his Garmin and Strava apps.

Awesome watch, & the guy at bestbuy really helped I went in to buy a gift for my sister and she’s loving her new garmin so far !

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

Way better than the other versions glad i switched

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.
