Great Price with Main Feature for Runner
After 6 months using Garmin products. From Fenix 8, epix 2 Pro, 265 , and now 165. I found 165 is really worthed for basic runner. For sure, it has less data compared to higher model, but, it is really enough. One thing that really missing is training readiness, since i use to be very happy with this feature, but.....i can predict my readiness using other metrics such as sleeping score etc. Lets us think about the price....., even without the feature that i mentioned, it is good saving for our wallet. yes ? yes absolutely. Do not forget to choose the music edition, since it has wifi. really usefull for sync process while you are not with your phone.

Pretty Good
My Watch is staying on the 0% download screen when I try to download youtube music onto my watch for offline use. Otherwise really good watch.

Nice watch
I have enjoyed my Garmin watch since I’ve received one since Christmas. I will say however, it seems to be a bit inaccurate on steps especially when running on a treadmill. It was off by about 1 mile after only running a few miles. Overall a decent watch for the price

Features are great, setup was a bit of a struggle
I love my Forerunner 165, but it took a bit more work than I expected to set up. I wish that the music feature could run on top of the exercise interface so I could change tracks I didn't like without having to disrupt my entire workout, but otherwise this is truly a great tracker at a very reasonable price point. The battery life is excellent, it fits really well (I've had other tracker bands that have chafed my wrist) and i love the features in the app.

Enjoying the features so far
I purchased this to replace my Forerunner 245 which broke, and I have enjoyed discovering all the new features my F245 did not have while still keeping most of the functions I was wanting for running. I do however wish I could still control my music stop/start/ pause from my Garmin. I got the Music version but am not happy with it. I cannot use my Audible app, Pandora app, or Sirius XM app with this Garmin. You need to use an additional Garmin app to download music to the Garmin, which is fine, but I would STILL like to start/stop/pause/forward using my garmin as it is connected to my phone.

Fun watch! Love it!
My wife and I both got one of these for Christmas as we have started on our running & fitness adventure! It has been fun to play with. The ONLY negative is that is does not keep good time on the treadmill. It clocks my time much faster than I actually run which throws off my average pace.

Good watch
I got this watch recently and I think it is a very good watch although it does have some down sides, the safety features on the watch are not what I would have hoped for the watch can’t alert your emergency contacts if it is not connected to your phone. Also the battery life with daily use has only lasted up to 7-8 days. Despite the battery life and the safety features the watch is pretty good it has great running metrics with many activities like walk, hike, run and so much more the adjustable wallpaper is a really cool feature in the watch this watch has a great heart sensor and so much more it overall this is a very good watch but needs more safety features.
