GarminForerunner 165, Running Smartwatch, Colorful AMOLED Display, Training Metrics and Recovery Insights, Black

My son likes the watch. This is a 3rd Garmin smartwatch for him and he thinks it's a good balance of features and price point. Used for heart rate monitoring, sleep quality and step activity.

Looks great, easy to use, and battery lasts over a week even with 5+ workouts a week. Used to use Fitbit but it died every 2 years and I don’t like the Apple Watch cause there’s too much extra stuff. This watch is perfect for workouts, timers, and minimal notifications.

Awesome watch! Used it in a 50 mile ultra marathon. Lasted 14hrs in GPS mode with the watch face lit up. Went to battery saver at 13hrs 45mins at 2% then lasted another 30 mins or so. Face wasn’t huge but big enough to see while in the move. Bright colors with easy visibility. Great watch highly recommend.

Grabbed the Forerunner 165 as a dedicated running watch and it does exactly what I need without overcomplicating things. GPS locks quick, heart rate tracking is consistent, and the display is bright and easy to read even in direct sun.The UI is clean — not overloaded with junk like some smartwatches. It tracks runs, walks, sleep, and daily stats without draining the battery fast. I’m getting almost a full week on a single charge with regular use.It syncs with Garmin Connect flawlessly, and I appreciate the training suggestions and recovery data. I’ve used it during interval runs and long distance — zero complaints.Super lightweight on the wrist too. You forget it’s there until the stats buzz in. If you’re a runner who wants accurate tracking without paying for features you won’t use, this is a solid pick.

Great watch, superb battery, clear display, touch screen plus buttons, multi sport.. great choice.

I have had this watch for about a month. I did not buy it for all the advanced features, just for the GPS function for running. It is very legible, has good battery life, has good screen customization, and I like the heart rate monitor function. I wish I could permanently turn off all of the "suggestions" that it wants to make about what I should be doing. I was able to toggle some of them off, but not all.

It does what it says it does, and aside from wishing it had certain features (as Garmin only gives the whole suite to the upper-end devices) my only complaint might be that good watch faces burn battery. I can get about 4-5 full days from charge. Connectivity is about 30ft and GPS doesnt work without it so this isn't a solo piece, but it's got good running features and the heart rate is p accurate. Fits well.

Great product. My Apple SE watch died after 3 years of use due to water intrusion. It was purchased for swimming. Who would have guessed that the seal would not last long. Apparently it is a common issue from what I have been reading on line. Because of this, I started to look outside of Apple for a watch to track my swimming and biking.I have had my Garmin for about a week now and am impressed. The battery life is amazing. My Apple Watch would not even get me through a day, wheres the Garmin has lasted a week already. The display is easy to read even without my glasses. The user interface takes a little getting used to, but works well. Great product Garmin. I just wish I had gotten one sooner. Only time will tell if the water seal holds up.
