I have 3 weeks with the watch and has been handy to me, I started my running journey and I absolutely love the watch. I only take it off to charge it. The battery is very good. The watch is comfortable and light.

Garmin Forerunner 165

I bought this forerunner a month ago since i started taking running serious. I honestly love the feel of the watch light weight and small enough to where it doesn’t look like a women’s watch on a man but small enough to where i forget it’s there sometimes first watch i could sleep with on. 10/10

They have so many foreign languages in there. I can't figure it out every once in a while. You see a English word.

First Garmin
on September 27, 2025

I've seen hundreds of videos online talking about how great the FR165 is and I finally decided to bite the bullet and get it and I've loved every second of it. The battery life is amazing, it does everything a smartwatch should, it has a ton of amazing features, and it's very aesthetically pleasing.

All the features work great, love that it tracks my sleep I enjoy getting my score in the morning! Also didn't know it would have the weather in my watch so that's a nice bonus. All the sports features work great. Happy with the purchase.
