My wife and I decided to start getting in shape and running. We knew we wanted to be able to track our journey and we’re looking at a watch for metrics. We didn’t want to break the bank at all so we went with the forunner 165. What an awesome investment in our health. It gives us a ton of metrics to gauge our progress and we have fun trying to best eachother in steps and earning badges. We couldn’t be happier.

This was a replacement for my older 235. The display is awesome. The gps seems to connect better and is more accurate. A lot of great features.

I bought this a month ago and have been obsessed! It has all the features I need for it to be a running/health watch. My favorite part of the watch is the daily morning update. Highly recommend!

First running watch
on June 25, 2025
Posted by: Savannah
I’m new to cross country and I am very pleased with this watch. I love that it’s waterproof and how durable it is (I’ve dropped it multiple times.) I like the white/grey colour. I love the sleep tracking + body energy levels+ stress levels+ recovery time thing. It’s fairly easy to operate, and I love the touchscreen. One thing I would say is it keeps declining my debit card.. and I can’t get it to accept on garmin pay but multiple other places accept my card (Apple Pay, Venmo, ect..) I also love that u can download apps on it.

Good Investment

I’ve had my watch for about a month and really like its features. It may even inspire me to run a half marathon! The training plans are super convenient if you don’t want to put a lot of work into planning. I do wish it would allow for multiple training plans at once. Additionally, I was hoping for additional triathlon features— it isn’t exactly quick switching from one workout to the next.

Everything you want from it

I got this Garmin to motivate myself to start running, and I love it. It tracks every run and gives you every detail you could possibly imagine regarded to health data. The battery is amazing as well. Would strongly recommend to anyone looking to track their fitness data.
