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.

Bluetooth issues

I bought this so I could have music stored on the watch and not take my watch with me. The Bluetooth is not good. I am on my second (based on a return to Garmin), have updated software and tried different headphones and still it comes in and out. Pretty disappointed due to that.

Great for data

Works well for runs; music connection is not great. Inconsistent connection. I probably would not have bought forerunner with music if I knew it would not be more consistent.

Everyday watch

I haven’t stopped using this watch since I got it. It’s lightweight, versatile, and the battery is long lasting. I love the music feature, customizing my display and activities, and the GPS tracking. I’ve worn it in the pool and shower and it functions as normal, and put a screen protector on so as to not damage the screen. Definitely consider this watch if you’re looking for a smaller, lightweight watch that does it all

Very easy to navigate and easy to clean!

I bought this watch about a month ago and compared to the other Garmin watches I’ve had I love this one the most! It is so easy to start a run and to sync my training plan. Really helps me stay accountable and on track!

Perfect entry level watch!

First sports watch for me. I was looking for something that could track my running and give me basic metrics along with listening to music without my phone. This watch does all that perfectly. Battery is pretty good as well, I charge it every 4/5 days depending on usage. It really is a great watch. The AMOLED and touch screen are nice as well.

I love it!

I am absolutely obsessed with my Garmin Forerunner 165 Music! The purple color is so cute, and it's a breeze to use. Downloading my running playlists is super easy, and it connects perfectly with everything. It's just a fantastic, customizable watch that I can't recommend enough.
