Great features but too small

I returned the watch after 5 days. I wore it all the time and it collected all the data I wanted and it was great... however, the display was too small for me. I am purchasing another model with a larger screen.

I've had it for 3 weeks now and it's been a very useful addition to my workouts. I've really enjoyed the suggested workouts function, the fluid tracking that adjusts to my activity levels and the live tracking that can send my locations to my husband when I am out by myself.

Got this because I run and this is amazing watch that keeps battery for about a week and tracks everything great. Awesome watch loving it so far. Had an Apple Watch and decided it was time to switch. Also it’s weighs a lot less than the Apple Watch did. Buy this watch you’ll love it.

Very comfortable and I forget I'm wearing it, which is very important to me. Lots of great features, and although the software and device take a little getting used to, since I'm new to Garmin, it is pretty easy to understand.

It should be easier to use Start, Stop and Clear I would think that it would save the exercise for that day. I believe that it actually interfered with the Electronics in my car. Maybe not but seemed to. My phone connects to my car but at the same time is tied into my watch might start shutting the watch off while driving. I use it to keep my self from cheating when I walk and ride stationary bike. I Try to average 5 miles a day between walking and biking. It notifies me if I have an incoming call which can be really helpful if expecting a call.

Good watch

My wife and I bought the watches for our anniversary. I got the forerunner 165. It’s good. I enjoy keeping up with all the physical trends of my workouts, sleep, and vitals. Despite being a larger watch than I’ve aver worn before it is remarkably comfortable.
