I've used a Garmin Vivomove 3S for many, many years, and was quite happy with it. But I got back into running last fall and have reached the point where I want some more data and heartrate guidance. I love the large display and metrics available. The physical buttons are so much nicer to manipulate while running (though some of the controls aren't super intuitive- takes some practice). And I really enjoy leaving my phone at home and being able to listen to music.
Keeps me motivated

I have a Fenix 7X (which I love) but decided to try this as it had all the features I use daily for running at about half the weight. I love that I don't need to carry my phone; everything I need is in the watch. The battery life is decent, and visibility in sunlight is good... great daily driver. The only think I miss is not having a flashlight. I'll save the Fenix for the hard work; hiking and navigating.
Great watch

i’ve had the watch for a little over a month and it has been so beneficial for my running progress. i started using the garmin coach and i went from running max 3-4 miles 3 days a week to now 6 miles 3 days a week. I really love the body battery feature and the sleep score/coach feature. not to mention the battery i charge this watch once a week and it fully charges within like 30 min!
Lots of features!

Just love how it looks and feels. Works great and is motivating me to move more on a daily basis. Just ran Spartan races over the weekend and watch got dunked and sweaty and muddy and held up great.
Such an upgrade!

I bought this watch a few weeks back, because my old garmin was 7 years old lol. The Garmin forerunner 165 is outstanding with vibrant colors and a lot more features than my previous Garmin forerunner 245. I’ve notice the gps signal is quicker and specs are a lot nicer and easy to read in direct sunlight which is a plus.
Good watch

I bought this watch after a long 10 year break from running. I wanted to see my heart rate zones, know my pace, and have a stopwatch to track my progress. I didn’t know about hrv before purchasing this watch, but I like the hrv feature to gauge over training and sometimes too much life stress to know when to scale back workouts to not risk injury. I also like the sleep feature, not only realizing time asleep…but also that I don’t have adequate deep sleep unless I do some type of vigorous activity is an interesting insight. My one qualm is with the music, I wish you could skip tracks while in running mode, but you can only play the downloaded songs straight through while the watch is engaged in an activity. I do really appreciate the insight the watch affords, so much so I bought two more for my teenagers so they could reflect on their sports training, and a kids Garmin bc our primary school child did not want to be left out of the watch fun.

New Garmin owner here. I really like this watch! I’ve had Apple Watch for years. This new watch was pretty easy to set up & adjust settings. However, I still can’t download music from Spotify! That’s been very frustrating!! Otherwise, it’s been very user friendly for a non tech person.
Love it!

It took a bit for me to get used to moving over to a Garmin from an Apple Watch, but I love it! It lasts so much longer and the routes are way more accurate.
So far so good

I just made the switch from an Apple Watch (I broke the screen 3x before realizing the Apple Watch wasn’t for me) to the Garmin Forerunner 165. Like all new tech, it took me about 3 days to start enjoying my new watch. Watching YouTube videos really sped up that process. Now I love it. I love the garmin app on my phone, especially the workouts that they suggest for me. The battery life is great, and customizing the face of the watch was my favorite part. Getting all the information that I want right away has been enjoyable. I was also worried about it being waterproof, but I’ve been in the pool 3x and haven’t had any issues. So far I’m a happy customer. Thank you!

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.
