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.

I love the size and weight for my wrists that are on the smaller size. Quality still remains to be seen but it is good ol' Garmin quality based on first impressions.

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!

Perfect for what my husband needed. The battery stays charged for a really long time and the stats it keeps track of are really informative. The only negative is that this watch isn’t offered with a sapphire crystal watch face to keep it from being scratched but you can get screen protectors.

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.

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!

I purchased this for my teenage son in Cross Country sports program and he loves using it for his health and sports fitness. The charge and batter time is great. Perfect for younger athlete.

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
