I can’t get the face I want to stay on. It keeps going back to one that I guess is hard program into it. Very annoying.

I bought this watch a few weeks back to track my runs and it does that great as well as is good for health stats and sleep tracking as well!

Best Watch I Have Ever Owned

I bought this watch about a month ago and it hasn't left ny wrist unless I charged it. Tracks my miles, my strength workouts, HR, calories burned, and it's improved my health by tracking all of it. I would recommend a Garmin over any other watch on the market!

I bought this to replace my Fitbit and I wish I would have done it sooner ! Great features and a lot more stuff and way more accurate!

Very runner friendly!

After going back and forth with staying in the apple ecosystem I decided that my history with Garmin was positive enough to slide back into. I couldn't be happier, the 165 does pretty much all I need it to do and a little more. Its packed with features for the price and I'm not sure a runner needs much more. I don't know what higher ends offer but this was enough for me. You'll never get that 11 days of battery but you will get 6, even recording activities and using as a smart watch daily.

Perfect watch

I am very pleased with my forerunner 165. I originally purchased the 55 and it just wasn’t enough tech for me. Very happy I upgraded. Screen is gorgeous, features are easy to use, and does a great job tracking my runs, and giving me insight on activity and sleep. Prefer it over the watch with the Apple logo I’ve worn for YEARS. I get about a week of battery life on mine
