Great watch, great feel!
on January 15, 2025
Posted by: Brad15
It was finally time for me to upgrade to a watch with better technology, tracking, functions, etc.
I had forever worn a tracker that starts with fit and ends with bit. I always liked that it was small and I didn’t really feel it on my wrist.
So when I started looking into the Forerunner 165 I just thought “it looks huge! I’m going to hate it!”
I could NOT have been more wrong!
Is it bigger- of course.
But it is SO light and SO comfortable.
I notice it less than my old fitness tracker. The screen size is just right for the information it needs to display.
Could not be happier I took the leap and purchased this watch!

This was my Christmas present and I love it! I wish there was a way to pick which notifications came across the watch and there might be but I can’t figure that out. Other than that it’s perfect!!

I love it, except there is no ski feature. I am an avid runner who likes to do other things too. Having skiing would be great!

Received as a replacement for a dying Forerunner 235. Faster satellite acquisition better graphics, better battery life.

Fabulous product

I got this watch for Christmas since I’ve started running serioisly and I love it. Not only has it helped me better plan my running training with the Garnin Coach feature (you plug in the date of your race and pick a program and it gives you daily suggestions) but its also helped me improve my sleep and forced me to schedule rest days for maximum recovery, as well. It’s easy to use, easy to program, and comfortable. I don’t even notice it when I sleep! Very happy with it. It’s a more stripped down model but there’s nothing extra I wish it had. Perfect for what I’m doing.

It was hard to pair to my android phone and i really have no use for it - it is mainly for people who exercise on the regular
