    Love the customization of activities as needed

    I'm pretty pleased with my Forerunner 165. The price point was great for my athletic purposes, which is mostly running, kayaking and sailing. I had wished for specific activities like kayak and sailing, but then I discovered that I can create my own activities with custom displays and gestures etc. for those two missing activities, so my problem was solved easily enough. I replaced an ancient Garmin Vivo 3 watch with a very short battery life. Now I have a watch that runs about a week with full sensors on all the time, which is a nice change. Oh, and I appreciate the sleep summaries, which although not entirely accurate (you need an ECC for that, I think), still provides me insights in my normal sleep cycle, based on pulse, movement and oxygen. So I don't know how to compare this watch with the other models in the Garmin line, but I can say that I'm pleased with this one. Garmin knows how to make good instruments in general. This one was affordable to me.

    Happy Upgrade

    I upgraded from my Forerunner 55, which I totally loved, and I’m liking the 165 even better. I wasn’t happy with the 55’s sleep tracking, but I’m feeling a big improvement with the 165, which seems to come closer to how I feel in the morning. Only problem is the waste I’ve generated and taking up space: my old 55.

    Basic And What I Want

    This watch is simple. lite and what I need as a daily wearable. The basics for what I wanted in a daily watch. It didn't need to be tactical or measure so many things I rarely use. Just right for me.

    Bomb

    I was going to get the FENIX 200000, but I started w the 165. I'm a beginner runner. 6 months in - really had never worked out before. For my level - the 165 IS PEEEERRRRFECT. I love it. I'm sure there are other things I could use on the better watches. But for my level. It's spot on.

    Touch screen could be improved, and add a blood pressure monitor.

    Former FitBit user

    I've been a FitBit user for over a decade. I didn't know what I was missing. First. The GPS accuracy is sensational. I've used strava in the past but Garmin is just levels above. Second. The sleep data and recovery recs are absolutely crucial now that I've gotten into running. And third. That I get so much data for FREE regarding my runs, pace and heart rate are what make me so pleased with making the switch. The UI took some time getting use to but wowzers am I pleased.

    A great upgrade or first watch

    I upgraded from the Garmin Forerunner 45 and this was a great choice for not a ton more money. The battery life is significantly better in addition to the interface, touchscreen, sleep statistics, and so much more. Also seems to be a more durable construction so I plan on this watch lasting me quite a while.

    First GPS in a decade and loving it!

    I am loving this watch, particularly the sleep data which is really helping me stay accountable with nutrition and recovery. I wish it provided rowing data and a platform for Orange Theory Fitness workouts, but the outdoor running data is exceptional. Glad to be back in the Garmin world!

    Upgrade

    Upgraded from a Forerunner 55. Overall a clear improvement. For me, major positives are more accurate GPS with faster initialization, and more detailed information about e.g. sleep and running mechanics. The clock face is colorful and displays more info, but is sometimes hard to read. Colors and graphs do nothing for me. HR might be more accurate.

    Best I ever had!

    Garmin is no joke. This is my 3rd smart watch and by far trumps all others I have used before. Makes the Google Fitbit seem like a joke. The data and insights are scary accurate; body battery feature is cool and gear life among many other features really sets this watch apart. Really pleased with my purchase and the battery life is 9-10 days on average and i am very active so that is great too.

    good job once again garmin

    i got this as a replacement for my apple watch and i highly recommend it. it is super efficient and way more accurate than an apple watch. i would say it’s a bit hard to sync workouts after to strava but its ok.
