Community Reviews
Garmin Forerunner 165 stands out as a lightweight running watch with accurate heart rate and GPS, strong battery life, and Garmin Connect's clear data presentation. It also feels comfortable, works well for training programs and weightlifting, and the non sapphire screen is described as surprisingly tough. The main gaps are no maps and less depth than higher end Garmin models, so it is better for everyday training than mountain navigation. At $129, it lands as a strong value for a Garmin with solid basics.
The Connect app data presentation can be preferred over other smartwatch software experiences.
The Forerunner 165 can deliver accurate heart-rate and GPS tracking for everyday running.
The non-sapphire screen can feel surprisingly tough for regular use.
Battery life can last around 11 days of use, which helps reduce charging frequency.
The Forerunner 165 lacks maps, so mountain navigation may require phone maps and backup planning.
Sleep tracking can feel less accurate than Fitbit for matching perceived sleep.
The Forerunner 165 may miss advanced features found on higher-end Garmin models like the 265 and 965.
Using Huawei phones in the US can be a frustrating experience for Garmin connectivity.
