Why We Like The Garmin Forerunner 165 Music Watch
For a complete view of our training status as we prepare for race day, we track our every move with the Garmin Forerunner 165 Music Watch. The GNSS tracking system accurately captures every mile we run, swim, hike, or bike, and audio prompts keep us on pace, while our downloaded playlists let us pump our curated tunes through our wireless earbuds and leave our phone at home for undisrupted miles. Plus, with sleep scores, energy tracking, heart-rate monitoring, recovery time suggestions, training tips, and more, this watch is like our own personal, wearable coach that gets us over the finish line in record time.

I’ve been using the Garmin Forerunner 165 Music for a few weeks now, and I’m genuinely impressed. It’s the perfect blend of functionality, comfort, and value—especially for anyone who wants a watch that supports both fitness and everyday life. The Forerunner 165 Music feels like the sweet spot between beginner-friendly and performance-driven. It’s a great choice if you want a smartwatch that supports serious fitness goals but still fits seamlessly into daily life. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, music-capable fitness watch without the premium price tag.

Phone-free running is AMAZING
I bought this watch so I could have music but didn't want to carry my phone during runs. The music interface is simple to use and syncing up my Spotify playlists was easy if you follow the instructions. I carry another Apple Watch with LTE on me that I use as my cell/emergency contact device. Running without a phone is an amazing feeling! Love this watch!

Lots of functions!
I purchased my Garmin Forerunner 165 Music to help with my training. I chose it because of reviews as well as the battery life. I do like it. My only mild complaint is that it’s been difficult to navigate and understand how to use it. Also, a lot of apps that you have to download. I wish it was more simplified to use… user friendly. But I may just have to get used to it.

Difficult for me
I bought this a month ago and am still learning the fundamentals and functionality behind its operation. Difficult for an old guy that is self taught with watches and computers to teach one’s self,,

Terrible
Not user friendly at all! I had to watch a TON of YouTube videos and I still don’t know how to get 1/4 of the benefits of this watch.

Does everything I want and nothing I don't! mostly just using the more basic functions provided by a smart watch, and this thing handles that purpose flawlessly.
