      5.0 out of 5 stars All-Around Fitness Powerhouse
      Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2025
      Style: StandardColor: BlackVerified Purchase
      I've been using the Garmin Forerunner 165 for several months now, and it has become an essential part of my active lifestyle.

      The first thing that stands out about this watch is the vibrant AMOLED display. The colors are crisp and bright, making it easy to read metrics during outdoor activities, even in direct sunlight. The screen responsiveness is excellent, with smooth transitions between different data screens during workouts.

      For running, which is my primary activity, the Forerunner 165 provides comprehensive metrics that have genuinely helped improve my performance. The GPS accuracy is impressive - much more reliable than my previous fitness tracker, with minimal distance discrepancies when comparing to known routes. The training insights have been particularly valuable, suggesting recovery times and training load adjustments that have helped prevent overtraining.
      The versatility of this watch is where it truly shines. I've used it for hiking, with the altimeter providing useful elevation data. For walking, it accurately tracks steps and distance. The swim tracking functionality works exceptionally well for lap swimming, counting strokes and identifying stroke types with surprising accuracy.

      Sleep tracking has been eye-opening, providing detailed breakdowns of sleep stages that correlate well with how rested I feel each morning. The step goal feature adjusts based on your activity levels, which I find more motivating than static goals. The calories burned estimations seem reasonably accurate when compared to other methods I've used.

      Battery life deserves special mention - I typically get 5-6 days between charges with regular GPS usage, which is excellent for a watch with this bright a display.

      The only consistent issue I've encountered is with the weather feature. It sometimes fails to update properly. This is a minor inconvenience since I typically check the weather on my phone anyway, but worth noting as it's the one feature that doesn't quite meet the high standard set by everything else.

      The companion app ties everything together nicely, presenting the data in an intuitive format that makes it easy to spot trends and improvements over time.

      For anyone serious about fitness tracking across multiple activities with recovery insights to help optimize training, the Garmin Forerunner 165 is an excellent investment.

      5.0 out of 5 stars My Favorite Garmin So Far!
      Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2025
      Style: StandardColor: BlackVerified Purchase
      I upgraded from the Garmin Forerunner 55 to the Garmin Instinct 2. I love the Instinct 2, but was having trouble seeing the watch calculations during walks (pace, heart rate, etc.). I decided I needed to upgrade to a sport watch with color. The Garmin 165 fit the bill. I love the variation in watch faces, including one with up to 6 spaces where you can decided what data you want to see along side and around the time. Even though the data spaces (battery, steps, sunrise/sunset, etc.) are the same size as what they were on the Instinct 2, due to the color I can see them much easier. This watch has excellent battery life and charges extremely fast (less than an hour at 50% battery). I recommend watching Youtube videos to understand how to use the watch, as well as to see all the different data collecting, training, and race planning the watch can do. WHEN YOU RECEIVE THE WATCH, MAKE SURE TO UPGRADE THE SOFTWARE USING GARMIN EXPRESS ON YOUR COMPUTER. I had to do this before my watch would properly pair with my iPhone SE.

      5.0 out of 5 stars Better than an Apple Watch!
      Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2025
      Style: StandardColor: BlackVerified Purchase
      My husband says: I’m not a runner or a busy exercise person but I like to keep track of my heart rate, blood oxygen levels and walk. I’m 74 years old hearing impaired and really love this Garmin Watch. It vibrates for all my notifications, there’s a lot of free analog watch faces (I’m not a digital watch face fan) and others you can buy using Garmin’s second companion app. It provides me with a morning report summary, tracks my heart rate on all six of the analog watch faces I use and measures my stress levels daily. A lot of capabilities that I’ll never use but so what, it does precisely what I want it to do. I use an Apple iPhone so I have to keep Garmin’s app up and running for those notifications but doing so hasn’t affected the battery life on my iPhone. I’ve already performed a factory reset on my Apple Series 9 Watch, put it back in the box and back on a shelf. Yes it’ll take a little time to learn how to use it, but if you like what you just read in this review, buy this Garmin Forerunner 165 smartwatch and it’ll make you smile every time you get a notification and every time you look at it.

      This watch is a great value. It has just the right amount of tracking data for my workouts, and the basic smartwatch features that I need. It's comfortable and looks pretty good.

      This is a great watch, does a lot for a fair amount of money. The screen is bright and responsive to touch, the gps signal catches quickly (I live 30 min outside Boston) and there are way more metrics than I have use for.
      I did end up returning it only because I found the 20mm strap too small. Coming from an Instinct solar, with a 22mm strap, it did make a big difference for me. I got a forerunner 255 instead, but I do miss the AMOLED screen of the 165.

      I'm in my 60s and all I really do is run for exercise. I run 4-5 times a week, with some being done on a treadmill and some outside. I might run 1-2 races a year.
      This watch is perfect for me. It has all I need.
      I have a 6.25" wrist so this fits and looks perfect. It's not too big.
      The Polar I had was from 2012. It finally died. How things have changed in 13 years!
