I bought two weeks ago and I love the watch. However it is difficult for me how to control it. Would you send me instruction for the watch. Thanks.

Awesome watch
on April 6, 2024
Posted by: Henrya92
Keeping in mind it is entry level, it has cover all my needs. Even going beyond as a new runner.
Good battery life (about a week in gesture mode, with notifications active and following training plans of 4 days a week using gps), light and the amoled screen is mind blowing compare with other models.
Nap detection can be improve, not always recognizing when napping. Totally recommend buying it

Garmin Forerunner 165

For a person that actually has 4 Garmin watches a Garmin Navigator for my motorcycle and one for my police unit, I feel I am somewhat qualified to review my new Garmin watch. I love the Amoled screen on the new forerunner it is so much better than that on my 735XT or 945. The 165 hooks up to the satellite so quickly it amazes me. I love the color of the band, I think just the use of the functions makes it easier to use than my other brands that I have.

the product is easy to use and the screen is an awesome upgrade from previous products. The price is affordable for the watch's functions and after a month of usage for daily activity and running/workouts I have no complaints

Got tired of having to keep digging for and checking my phone during my runs, so glad I bought this. Even considering upgrading to the 965 at some point

Couldn't Ask for a Better Watch
on April 19, 2024

Initially received the Garmin Swim as a present but knowing that I don't exclusively swim, I contacted Garmin to ask their advice on the best watch. I ended up with the Forerunner 165. The (pool) swimming is totally accurate, and it also enables me to track eliptical, treadmill, stairmaster, walking, spin classes, HIIT, hiking, elevation, heart rate, sleep, etc. Battery life is pretty solid, and it's very quick to recharge.
