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.

I’ve been wearing this watch everyday and night for a few months now. I use it for daily walks and for running 3 times a week. Just completed my first 10k following the Garmin coaching program and it was super helpful! I only have to charge the battery once a week and it doesn’t take very long to reach 100%. I also love the sleep tracking and how it breaks down all the cycles!

My running buddy! So far so good. My Garmin Forerunner 165 takes most of the more useful tools and features you find on Garmin's premium watches and distils them into a more compact, more basic, somewhat cheaper model with that killer bright display 😍. I have everything I might need here to conquer a marathon or a half-marathon. You can train with the Garmin couches as well. The training is amazing building your base first following your calendar workouts. I was looking for a good size, comfortable wearing, bright, big touchscreen display for me to see while running. The battery last for 11 days, so helpful.You can use the GPS navigation features on your device. Waterproof too! I'm very happy with my purchase.

I have had many Garmin watches and this is a great choice with lots of features at a reasonable price.

Have only had about 2 weeks but so far I really like this watch.The battery life is for real..I took it out of the box and wore it until it was @2% until I charged it. Was at 86% out of the box and made it 9 days before I had to charge it. Waterproofness is good, I was my hands, shower, work out in the rain and seems to work fine. I did buy a screen protector and charger port protector when I got the watch. Have hit it on a few things by accident and no scratches at all. Fits nice but for someone with a bigger wrist would recommend a large or different band that is larger. Only knock i have only it so far and reason I didn't give a 5 star is the steps/distance counter is off. I do lawncare, even though i calibrated my stride it picks up steps when I'm a mower or moving slowly in my golf cart. Great watch so far though, I would 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.
