A lightweight alternative to my Fenix
on July 3, 2025
Posted by: Boyd
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.

Got it on sale a couple weeks ago and have been using the activity setting a ton. And the wide variety of informational settings it has are super useful. Great watch for the price absolutely love it.

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!

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.

It is a good watch. My only complaint is that it is a little complicated to get used to
