This is a big step up from my old Fitbit, which I loved, but the health and fitness insights of the garmin are just next level in comparison

Overall Excellent

This is my first watch like this. I bought a Garmin about five years ago for my son-in-law, but never did for myself.
I've had it for two weeks and I am enjoying it very much. The watch/band is comfortable. The display is clear and customizable. Once you get used to navigating, it is very intuitive. The app works very well with the watch, no problems syncing. I am probably only using 1/10 of the watch capabilities, but it suits me very well. I hope to slowly start to use the other features.
I am very happy with the Forerunner 165.

Forerunner 165

Great watch, great apps that are in it, perfect for running or walking. Only bad thing I can say about it is the Bands are tiny. I have a bigger wrist and I can not find a place that sells longer bands to fit my wrist.

I bought it this watch this month and let me tell you I love it’. Good features with all these gadgets. I also end up buying the HRM 600.

The Forerunner is well made, well programmed, and has tons of features especially when it comes to the sensors in the watch. I like the way it is all set up.

Great Watch

I transitioned from a Felix 5X to the Forerunner 165. Took a bit of time to adjust to how light this watch is compared to my Fenix. I walk/run every day, so I use the GPS a lot and I’m getting about 5-6 days of better life out of it. Great features and great display. Highly recommend

Pretty good

It works for just about everything I do but I would love it if you could add a stopwatch in an update because with workouts I’ve been doing it would be nice to have. Also just in school sometimes I need a stopwatch for things.
