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.

Outclasses my old FR 735XT by miles

I have enjoyed the many, many features of my Fr165 that replaced my old watch, which was a 2016 model. I have had it for two weeks now and it tracks my HR while running far better than the old 735XT ever did. The body battery feature is cool and I enjoy getting my morning report when I first wake up. I am nervous, though, as the watch became nonresponsive when I attempted to get my morning report yesterday, thus the four stars. Hopefully that was just a one-off!

New to Me.

I have been learning the different screens to better understand the all the all the features. Since I am an older person, I am slowly figuring it out. Mainly I use it for running and biking. After completing each event/outing, I found out that there were a few more things I needed to do before it was saving the results.

Simplistic and accurate

Bought my Garmin FR165 around 2 months ago and have loved it ever since. To costumize the face to show the data I look for (steps, run, weather)... and so many other options is so helpful. The accuracy is on point. It feels durable and looks great, even on a night out. As a beginner (runner), this is all I need to keep me honest and on schedule with my runs.

Ok but was looking for health readings.

Nice band. Charges fast and holds it for days. Still trying to figure out some features. Was expecting more health readings, like pulse ox. Instructions are minimal.

One size doesn't fit all

After doing research on which smart watch to purchase I was excited about my decision to purchase a Forerunner 165, but in taking it out of the box and discovering that the watch band was so small, it fit on the last notch. I'm not sure if this is intentional so you buy additional accessories, but I'm rethinking my decision and it might be a return. It's unfortunate because I use a Garmin cycling computer and appreciate the data available after my rides and was hoping to enhance it with a Garmin watch.
