So far I really like this Forerunner. Although I don’t have it completely figured out. The only thing I don’t like is the band… it’s too big and the tail catches on everything. I wish you’d make a smaller band.
For some reason the watch came in a different language and there's no way to change there's no way to I have no idea what language it's in. It's definitely not an English
I have had this watch for a little over a month and it has been excellent. It motivates me to run and their coach plans have been helping me to reach my goal of a sub 25 minute 5k as an 8th grader. I love that it is 90% fitness but still has a lot of smartwatch features.
For about 3 years I have relied on the Apple Watch. The last straw was half way into my 1/2 marathon it stopped. Needless to say I was upset. I had contemplated spending the money for it but am presently training for my first marathon. I absolutely love it. It breaks every split down and tells me what area I was slow, fast and marks my previous 5k and 10k times. Can’t wait till I start using the music feature. Thank you
This is my 4th Garmin since the OG Forerunner 205 in 2009. Each Garmin has lasted me 4-5 years averaging 60 miles a month. This one though is fancier than the rest, still gets the job done. I don’t need one with bells and whistles (smart watch). This watch has all the basics of a running watch down. The music connectivity is quick. Easy to use watch too.
I contemplated this for months and finally pulled the trigger. I’ve had the 165 Music for about a month now and I’m still psyched about it. Garmin has a much better interface for fitness data and the race time predictions is a really cool feature. The ONLY draw back is it isn’t as seem less to your phone (using talk to text or taking calls), but as someone who prefers minimal phone usage throughout the day it’s not a problem.
I bought this not too long ago and i like it for the most part. It’s a bit janky and i think Garmin can still do better. I have both an Apple Watch and a Garmin and i still think the Apple Watch is a little bit better made. So happy with the colors but you guys should sell more expensive looking bands as well.
