GarminForerunner 165, Running Smartwatch, Colorful AMOLED Display, Training Metrics and Recovery Insights, Whitestone

Tried the 965 and it was way too big. Thought about going with the 265S but ultimately decided on this one. Just right, and way cheaper. It's got a great battery and bright, crisp screen. I'm upgrading from a 245 for an AMOLED and this has all the features I need. I ran a marathon this year and clock about 10 to 15 miles on a typical week. Love it. Stop debating and buy it before the price goes back up.

This watch has all the features. It's comfortable. I love the sleep tracker and activities tracker. It reminds me to move, which is annoying, but useful. I haven't been through all of the features as yet; it has many! So far it's easy to use. Great quality. I started using it 8 days ago, and the battery is now on 27%. It has great battery life! Don't know if this may change in the coming months. I can see all the data I need from the watch itself or on the mobile app on my phone. Great watch.

Fantastic sports watch with smart watch features. Great battery life and the steps/ calorie estimates/ heart rate seem accurate based on online calculators and everyday experience. Definitely a fantastic value and worth getting if you are nervous about spending $500 on the 265 or above.

Great watch! Easy to use! I love that is touch, the app is useful to track your running pace and improvement.

I use it for tracking runs, tracking other workouts, tracking sleep, tracking cardiovascular fitness, checking the outdoor weather, and lots more. It even tells time! Totally revolutionized my training.This is the first GPS enabled fitness watch that I’ve owned, so I can’t compare it, but for what you get and the ease of use of the connect app, the pricetag was worth it for me.Battery life is incredible for what it does, with the Apollo ultra low power MCU that powers everything it does.This watch is pretty durable. I’ve had it now for over six months and the glass screen has only one or two scratches that are almost imperceptible. This is impressive given that I wear it camping, doing yard work, swimming in an open lake, and so on.The screen is actually a very reasonable size. They designed the UI for the watch very well once you understand the basic concepts of holding some buttons to open more menus. I was confused only for the first few weeks.The only serious detractor is the watch band which irritates my wrist if I wear it for too long. It doesn’t matter how loose it is. I need to switch wrists every few days or my skin starts to peel. Maybe I’m allergic to the material. But for what it tells me about my training, that is a pretty minor sacrifice of comfort. The only thing that would make this watch better is if it had come with a polyester watch band.

Still trying to figure some of the functions out. I’m not sure if it’s perfectly accurate on the treadmill and I’ve used it a couple times outdoors for running when I run on my treadmill. It seems like it’s saying I’m going faster than I really am and it’s saying my heart rate is high. I don’t know how accurate it is. Jury is still out.

Diez días de uso no es mucho para poder hacer una buena reseña, pero hasta ahora puedo decir que estoy muy conforme con mi compra, aunque todavía no lo usé en la piscina (no conseguí el vidrio templado aún) tiene bastante para ofrecer por su precio. Mucho para running si.La pantalla es grande, nítida, los pases de pantalla son bastante fluidos, así que casi ni uso los botones.Hay que bajarse 2 apps: Garmin Connect y Connect IQ.La app Garmin Connect es la que lleva registro de todas las mediciones, propone entrenamiento y desafíos y hasta otorga medallas al cumplirlos jajaY la app Connect IQ sirve para descargar pantallas (de pago y gratuitas) y también con Face It podemos crear las nuestras, hay muchos diseños de reloj para usar. También hay varias apps que se le pueden bajar.Me gustan las funciones de sueño, siesta y control cardíaco.En un uso normal la batería me duró una semana.La malla que trae es muy cómoda.

Training for a marathon and needed an upgrade from apple.
