    Mostly good, but had trouble getting GPS to connect. Call with Garmin was very helpful.

    I’ve been using this watch for a few weeks now and I’m genuinely impressed. It looks so sleek on the wrist, modern, lightweight, and goes with everything from gym clothes to dressy outfits. The battery life is way better than I expected, and the screen is super clear and responsive. What really sold me though is the health and fitness tracking. It’s accurate, easy to use, and actually motivates me to move more throughout the day. I love being able to check messages, control music, and track my sleep without needing to constantly pick up my phone. If you’re thinking about getting a smartwatch, THIS is the one. It’s the perfect balance of style, functionality, and performance. 10/10 recommend!

    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.

    I had a very old Forerunner and after 10yrs the battery died which it is nla. I wasn't sure i wanted another Garmin, so I tried Fitbit, Galaxy and a different Garmin and none worked out. I finally caved and bought this Forerunner 165 and I love it. I wanted something simple and theres so much more on this watch then i expected. So many options, Running, treadmill, walking, biking, swimming, heart rate, music and tells you the pace, your averagepace, so much.. Also, the battery last days and even tells you the batterypercentage. Ignore the bad reviews, this watch is great. Just buy it!!!!

    This watch is very good for focusing on your workouts. I really enjoy how focused it keeps you apart from the outside world distractions. One of the great things about this watch is that you will only hav to charge it once and it maintains its battery life for almost tone week!!! I also appreciate the accuracy of the GPS tracking and how accurately it tracks your steps and your workout goals. If you purchase this watch you wont regret it.

    The Garmin Forerunner 165

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 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

    Nice Upgrade, But Confusing Interface

    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.
