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.

Good size for women

Great watch but for men I would look at the 265 or the 965

Amazing features. Such a game changer!!

I am very happy with my Garmin Forerunner 165 purchase. It looks great and changed my running routine. I have upgraded it from my Fitbit Charge 5, and so happy I took the plunge. Now I use the running coach function and I have my customized training plan. I have zero regrets.

Great for running!

I switched to Garmin from Apple after too many glitches with my Apple Watch while running long distances. I do think the Apple Watch is better for everyday usability but as far as running goes Garmin is hands down better at pacing, stats and managing user data.

Good watch

I had recently bought this new Garmin since my last one was lost(stolen). I really enjoy it. I do wish the battery life was longer like the instinct 2 but it makes up for it with how quickly it charges. Other than that it’s a very good watch and great to wear

Love my Forerunner 165

I bought this a month ago when I was first getting into running and it has been amazing for tracking my runs. It makes it easier to keep my pace and plan out how I will be training.

Best Forerunner

Long time Garmin user. Started with 305 (brick on your wrist), Fenix 5s, Vivoactive (OG), Venue 2, FR 965, and finally FR 165. Although technically 965 has more features, 165 is the goldilock of Firerunners for me. Light, feature rich, and a joy to run with. Love it!

A whole new world for running

I have had and gone through many different types of “smart” watches: Apple, Fitbit, etc. and now a Garmin. This watch is a completely different playing field and experience when it comes to tracking, improving and breaking down your runs (including overall health). I was very caught off guard and the learning curve was a shock (hence the 4 stars, I’d be giving 4.5 if I could), I did have to utilize social media for applications/processes that I could not figure out on my own. I love the different features that are offered and the fact that I don’t have to pay a yearly fee to use all of them is astounding (*cough, cough* Fitbit). I was especially shocked to find out that I have the option of using a coach to help me reach my running goals. I have been doing my best to utilize every feature and the influence my Garmin has had on me maintains healthy habits has been the best outcome of all. I feel as though this watch will last me forever. Worth every penny and I will never look back.

Just what I was looking for!

After much research I decided to go with the Garmin. I had an Apple Watch and was very disgusted with the battery life. ( some days it wouldn’t last all day) I am very pleased with the battery life on the Garmin. The features are great. I am a novice runner but I still like to track what I do. The Garmin is perfect for what I do. I highly recommend the Garmin Forerunner 165 it’s reasonably priced and does what I like.

Better than expected

I owned a Garmin watch before this one, it had some timers and a compass. This watch is on another level. It can do everything the other watch did better, plus keep track of my body's stats. It's fast and relatively easy to use. In a way, it's making me a better person by encouraging me to stay fit. I use it to track indoor/outdoor walking, yoga, pool swimming, steps and stairs, etc. It suggests that I get more nightly sleep! I was looking for the best bang for the buck and this watch delivers.

Great watch overall

Love this watch and it has tons of features I appreciate. The battery life is great and I like how you can change the face display. It falls short of 5 stars for me for two reasons. The first being that it only comes with one band which barely fits my wrist on the 3rd hole while still being able to tuck the extra into the sliding retainer. The second reason being the I've already scratched the face within 2 weeks so it should come with a glass protector of the glass scratches this easily.
