This seems like a good deal. I spent twice as much on my Gen 2 Epix Genesis, and this one seems to have the functionality I use most of the time.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank redmark12345

Had mine since it came out and I'm still 100% happy with it. It's a couple years old and still gets the full 11 days battery life as advertised. It's light and low profile, and doesn't constantly get caught on my sleeves like my instinct 2.

The only strange thing is that the Bluetooth range seems fairly short. My instinct 2 will stay connected even if I go out to my detached garage without my phone, but the forerunner will lose connection even in the next room. For fitness related stuff, I only use step tracking and broadcasting heart rate to my Garmin cycling computer, so I can't speak to any of the other stuff it's capable of, like GPS.

Sam's Club has the Vivoactive 5 for $179.00 right now. I believe it's a touch better than this one.

That one supports music directly on the watch, which is $50 more for the Forerunner, so if that's something you need the Vivoactive is definitely a better choice.

I've had this watch before - it's fairly decent if you're willing to tolerate the dim screen. Otherwise they have OLED versions
The 165 is OLED.

I just got the older forerunner 255 which is very similar to the forerunner 165, super good watch and does everything I need it to do!

It kinda had to do with LLC bean or something like that. This info came up when I google'd it and the results were from posts about who donated to the trump campaign

Both companies gave money to both Trump and Harris, and both gave much more to Harris than Trump in 2024. Almost all companies do this.
