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.

My Fav watch

This is such a good watch for intermediate runners! I love all the features, especially sleep, and it helps me be the best I can be and feel relaxed.

Watch pretty good, Connect algorithm is a disaster

Moved from Samsung Galaxy to Garmin so I could use a heart strap and to have all my data in one place, Connect, where my cycling data is. Turns out I can't bring my previous running data to Connect because of Garmin's business lock in strategy. Absurd, so starting from scratch. As usual with Garmin software, glitches galore. Set up a Run Coach program, but the watch still constantly bugs me to finish set up by starting a Run Coach program. No matter how slow I go, Training Status always reads unproductive, went for the easiest ride I have in years the other day and Connect claimed main benefit was *aerobic* (despite 123 avg watts at 125 BPM heart rate). I could go on about all the false data Garmin is gushing at me. For a fitness focused company, you'd think they'd have a decent solution. Will probably return this as the benefit I hoped for is not playing out. Guess it's just better to have all my data in Strava?

Simple to use

I'm an older man who does lots of walking and swimming. I also ride a stationary bike. So the cardio, walking, and swimming apps get a lot of work. And the heart rate along with calories info are great.

TOO Much!

It has too much stuff on it. For a runner, I wish that I still had the Forerunner 210, but the construction on it fell apart.

Way smarter than I am!

I currently use an Apple watch. It has its drawbacks, the battery being one, but I was able to figure it out really easily. I bought the Garmin Forerunner 165 thinking it would be better because of the things I's heard about how it holds a battery charge for days. I have not been able to get familiar enough with it to feel comfortable with using it as an everyday watch. It's very difficult for me to use. I boxed it back up and that's where it'll stay. Should have stuck with Apple!

Works great!

All the features work great, love that it tracks my sleep I enjoy getting my score in the morning! Also didn't know it would have the weather in my watch so that's a nice bonus. All the sports features work great. Happy with the purchase.

First Garmin

I've seen hundreds of videos online talking about how great the FR165 is and I finally decided to bite the bullet and get it and I've loved every second of it. The battery life is amazing, it does everything a smartwatch should, it has a ton of amazing features, and it's very aesthetically pleasing.
