Why We Like The Garmin Forerunner 165 Watch

Preparing for race day has never been as easy as it is when we're rocking the Garmin Forerunner 165 Watch to track our every move. The GNSS tracking system accurately captures every mile we run, swim, hike, or bike, and wrist-based running power displays how much power we’re applying to the trail or road, so we can manage effort and fine-tune training. Other features, such as sleep scores, energy tracking, heart-rate monitoring, recovery time suggestions, training tips, and even women's health tracking, make this watch a must-have for anyone seriously interested in getting the most out of their daily physical activities.

Garmin Forerunner 165

It was hard to pair to my android phone and i really have no use for it - it is mainly for people who exercise on the regular

Fabulous product

I got this watch for Christmas since I’ve started running serioisly and I love it. Not only has it helped me better plan my running training with the Garnin Coach feature (you plug in the date of your race and pick a program and it gives you daily suggestions) but its also helped me improve my sleep and forced me to schedule rest days for maximum recovery, as well. It’s easy to use, easy to program, and comfortable. I don’t even notice it when I sleep! Very happy with it. It’s a more stripped down model but there’s nothing extra I wish it had. Perfect for what I’m doing.

Great value and performance

Received as a replacement for a dying Forerunner 235. Faster satellite acquisition better graphics, better battery life.

great watch!

I love it, except there is no ski feature. I am an avid runner who likes to do other things too. Having skiing would be great!

Great watch!

This was my Christmas present and I love it! I wish there was a way to pick which notifications came across the watch and there might be but I can’t figure that out. Other than that it’s perfect!!

Great watch, great feel!

It was finally time for me to upgrade to a watch with better technology, tracking, functions, etc. I had forever worn a tracker that starts with fit and ends with bit. I always liked that it was small and I didn’t really feel it on my wrist. So when I started looking into the Forerunner 165 I just thought “it looks huge! I’m going to hate it!” I could NOT have been more wrong! Is it bigger- of course. But it is SO light and SO comfortable. I notice it less than my old fitness tracker. The screen size is just right for the information it needs to display. Could not be happier I took the leap and purchased this watch!

Love F165

I run early in the morning before sunup. The display on the watch is easy to read and has exactly the information I want.

Like this watch a lot! But could use some updates

This is my first Garmin watch. I am enjoying all the data, though I haven't used some of the features yet. My regular activities are running, walking, hiking, downhill skiing, exercise bike, and weights. The GPS works well. I do wish it had better settings for the last three activities. I know these are available in the more expensive models but it seems to me that these should be easy enough to include in this model. For example, for skiing I've tried to set it on running, but then it gets confused when I'm waiting in lift lines and spending time not moving much on the lift. But at least it tracks where I've been and the altitude changes. Haven't yet found a good setting for the exercise bike.
