    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.

    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.

    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.

    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’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’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
