GarminForerunner 165 Music, GPS Smartwatch for Run & Fitness

Good for running

This watch is really good for my son who is a star xc runner. He also does a lot of other sports. This watch is very durable and does not crack even though he has had it for years. Sometimes I have trouble with the watch and it will have a slight glitch.I would recommend this watch.

Disclaimer: this is my first smart watch purchase. The customization is great if anything, overwhelming. You can change anything. The step count, heart rate and sleep trackers are the standout winners for me. Workout tracking can be cumbersome at times. But screen, buttons and layout are all intuitive and well done.

I am really enjoying my garmin. The battery life is great and it lasts me days before I have to charge it. I like the customizability a lot. Having the music feature means I get to run without my phone. It does need to be “synced” to my phone pretty often in order to access all capabilities. I have noticed some inaccuracies with the sleep tracking.

Hard to figure it out.

Much more complicated than my Apple Watch. Instruction manual was microscopic. No way I could read the instructions. garmin connect and Garmin IQ are confusing. Utube videos helped a little but they tend to go really quickly. The 5 buttons on the watch are not well labeled. Almost sent it back.

Absolutely love

I absolutely love this. I bought this as a gift for myself and it’s amazing. Fits great, very comfortable. I work in the postal service so it’s handling the hard beatings very well. I get to customize the screen any way I like.

Great Watch

Great watch with a great battery life. Seems to be accurate with distance tracking. Good for hiking, running, hunting, or even tracking your sleep. Just a good all around. Have yet to dislike a Garmin product.

Solid Runner's watch

I bought this watch as an upgrade from a Vivioactive 3. I was a little intimidated by all of the features, but after a few days of working with it, I fell in love with it. I like the "good morning" feature which gives me notes about my sleep and other data. It's light and not huge like the Fenix watches, which is important to me. It gives me all of the data I could ever want or need. The display is bright and very readable. If you are an avid 5k, 10k Saturday jogger who likes to listen to music while they exercise, this watch is for you

For the price, this watch reliably does a ton and the connected Garmin app is super easy to use for tracking and training.
