    I’ve been using my Garmin watch for a few weeks now and I absolutely love it. It’s incredibly comfortable to wear, even all day long, and the design is lightweight and sleek. One of the things I appreciate most is how easy it is to use — the interface is very intuitive and user-friendly. Whether I’m tracking my workouts or just checking notifications, everything works smoothly. Definitely a great investment!

    I made the switch from always having an Apple Watch to a garmin. This watch tracks runs better and more accurate. Im still able to get all my notifications like I would with my Apple Watch. Only difference I can’t reply through the watch. However, I am still satisfied with my garmin!

    Great watch. Coming from a Fenix 7 pro. I was very impressed with the functionality of the forerunner 165. Personally I prefer a more robust watch. The forerunner being 43mm it was a bit small. Other than that great running watch.

    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

    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.

    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.

    Great, reliable running watch. I switched from the Pixel Watch 3 to this and never wanted to go back. The Garmin Forerunner 165 is so comfortable that I don't realize I'm wearing it while going to sleep. It's also super durable to the point that it has been tossed around by my kids, hit against the wall and door knobs and I don't worry about its face shattering.
