    Good Watch

    Watch us nice but the wrist band is very fragile and small. The photo did it no just so be careful when making the purchase.

    It's a good smart watch but it could be improved: 1. why do I have to tell it what I'm going to do? (biking, tennis, etc.) ... it should just know 2. when I travel to different zones it takes a while to adjust the time

    I Love It, I Am Never Going Back!

    Twice my apple watch died while having a full battery. Both times I was PR'ing on a run. I immediately took it off, gave it away and went to the store and bought this Garmin. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. I charge it once a week, it tracks my sleep, my runs, my bike rides, and still have plenty of juice in it after I do all of those activities. Highly Recommend.

    Switched from the Apple Watch to Garmin.

    Recently purchase the Forerunner 165 and have been thoroughly liking the simplicity of it. I know it's not the higher end Garmin and to be frank, I switched over from the Apple Watch and have been truly enjoying the switch. It's nice to go back to what a fitness watch is supposed to be, "Fitness." Yes getting notifications is handy, etc. But once you experience using the watch for the basics and to track your fitness, Garmin is the way to go.

    Honestly one of the best watches I've ever worn. It's durable, tells me exactly what I need, and doesn't have too many fancy gadgets that may overwhelm some. I've worn Fitbit, Apple Watch, etc and this is a watch that I will get again once it stops working.

    Expected more

    I know this isn't the most expensive Forerunner, but it wasn't cheap. I expected more. It has frequently been incorrect on mileage. Not by much, but still enough to be annoying. If I go for an out and back run, I shouldn't have to run around my neighborhood to get my mileage on the return because the watch tracked incorrectly. Three miles out should be three miles back. Not with this watch. I also frequently have issues with the audio prompts and have to stop mid-run to fix it. Watch is still connected, audio prompts are on, but the watch just doesn't give them until I turn Bluetooth off and back on. I just expected more from a Garmin. I had a years old 935 that works better than this.

    Cool watch!

    First smart watch. Overall very happy with the watch and glad I purchased it! (For context I'm a serious cyclist that tracks "training" rides with my Edge 840 (also a great product!). Im on a Garmin Coach plan, I'm drinking the cool aid so to say...). Wanted the watch for health metrics, (I also do a lot of trail work and other active stuff) and most importantly simple tracking of mountain bike rides when I don't want to fuss with a heart rate strap and computer. Text notifications are bonus and more beneficial than I thought they wound be. Everything was easy to setup with Connect etc. I'm happy to track rides with it but the heart rate is not very accurate and lags pretty hard. (This is a function of the optical sensor and is simply the way they are is my understanding, I was curious to see how far off it would be, and yeah, its pretty far off sometimes....). I can also sync my HR strap to it so that's an option. This is one of the most affordable in the Garmin line, it does what I want it to (and is lower profile also!). Not sure why these aren't recommended more for cyclists? It also does not support power meters, I don't own one so irrelevant to me...

    Unmet Expectations

    I received this refurbished watch as a replacement after experiencing Live Track failures with two previous devices from the same brand. It arrived ahead of schedule and appeared to be in like-new condition, but it has significant battery performance issues. Although the battery indicator estimates up to 12 days on a full charge, the watch drops below 20% or shuts down completely by the following morning. As a result, it must remain on the charger overnight to be usable the next day. I completed all recommended troubleshooting steps, but the issue persists. Unfortunately, this watch did not resolve the Live Tracking issues, which leads me to believe the underlying problem may be software-related. I had been considering an upgrade, but after problems with a third watch, I no longer view this as a reliable option. I hope this feedback helps to resolve both issues.

    Forerunner 165 too complicated

    There are so many options available that it is very difficult to setup and navigate. I am replacing a 20+ year old Forerunner. I only need basics to manage time, pace and GPS miles. This is classic case of too much technology.

    Really like the easy to see display.

    I would have rated this watch 5 stars if instructions were included. Over the past years, I went through 4 VivoFit watches. I had no problem figuring out how to time my walks & runs. I really like my Forerunner 165 but, it came with no complete instructions, i have many issues. My sleep was tracked for the first 2 weeks. Now after having to charge it back up, it is not. It tells me, "No sleep detected". I don't know how to start & stop my walks, etc. If I could just get some clear instructions, I could rate it 5 stars in my next review. Thanks.

    Easy transition!

    Switching from Apple Watch because it didn’t sync well with heart rate monitor and other sensors. My forerunner has made that so much easier. I’m so glad I made the change. The only thing I haven’t figured out yet is syncing with my Dexcom g7, but based on my research that seems to be a challenge for many. I am loving Harmon and my Tacx trainer!
