Forerunner 165, 43mm GPS running smartwatch, lightweight, AMOLED touchscreen, advanced training, insights & features, safety & tracking features, up to 11 days battery life, Whitestone

I needed a watch for hiking & cycling. I am not a runner. This watch is great for all activities. Although aimed for runners it is excellent for walking, hiking & cycling. Not too bulky and light on the wrist. The menu is fully customisable so you can taylor it to your activities. The app is good. The sleep log is fantastic. Long battery time between charging. If use a walk activity so see how far you have gone etc is uses GPS that does use a little more battery but not excessively. It even has elevation reading. I would recommend looking at Garmin's own video to guide you through set up. Then you can taylor it nicely.

Had been using one of the better budget fitness bands for years and thought it was okay for tracking steps and recording hikes and squash. Followed a recommendation to switch up to a Garmin as I was completing couch-to-5k and planning to keep running. Had it a month now and can say it is worth every single penny. So much data, very clearly presented, with an excellent companion app. Unless you are (working towards being) an elite runner, the 165 model probably has all the features you will need. Apart from activity tracking and analysis, I have found the sleep data invaluable in helping understand when and why I sleep better/worse and the effect it has on me physically and mentally. Can’t recommend highly enough.

So far so good. I’m currently training for a half marathon so I got this predominantly for tracking runs/pace but this is also so much more. Detailed stats and breakdowns of all kinds of exercise, sleep analysis, Vo2 max, heart rate. Honestly I love it! Great price on Amazon aswell, it’s around £40 cheaper than the actual Garmin official website. The watch face is touch screen and very responsive. Easy to use.

Item is ok. It's too big for my wrist but working fine. The service by this seller was not great at all. The email said the purchase was failed and asked me to pay again. I checked my bank and it was pending. I contacted the seller and told me the purchase was not going through. I got confused and I cancelled the purchase. Then, the email told me you cannot cancel as the item was despatched. Luckily, I didn't pay twice. If you would like to purchase the garmin, you'd better pay more and choose the other company.

Top quality and good value.Fits well and very comfortable. Good battery life and very accurate

I was hesitant to come back to garmin, I have had electronics in the past from them and nothing has ever worked exactly the way it was advertised. In this case the watch generally does what it needs to do quite well. The battery is lasting better than I thought, I charged it 5 days ago and im on 64% without using any workout features. The sleep monitor has its pants on fire most of the time, I didnt go to bed until 1.30AM and I got up at 7AM and somehow got nearly 9 hours of awesome sleep, this is typical really. I use the watch for running and ive only been on the treadmill but it calibrated really well to within 0.1 or 0.2 miles of what the machine says. Its reasonably comfortable and Id recommend it to someone not wanting a super computer on their arm that lasts about a week.

Possibly the best watch I’ve ever owned , it has a 9 to 11 day battery life and gives me running dynamics and stats the Amoled screen is beautiful and is a absolute Win for the price.

Brilliant watch lots of useful bits on it used to check time on a marathon. Great price although there is a slightly cheaper model this does a bit more

I have been using a G-Shock GBX-100 for a couple of years now to track my runs but I also wanted to track my heart rate at the same time. This watch ticks all the boxes for me. - track steps - accurate distance (GPS) - track heart rate during runs bonus for me - running courses - coaching - resting recommendations - electronic wallet payment via Revolut (the only credit card supported in singapore) - basic navigation ie: direction/distance to a saved location - sync's with Strava and SG's Healthy 365 app - really bright visible day/night - uses standard quick release 20mm straps - charges very quickly via any USB C power source - lots more features as various apps can be downloaded into the watch, eg: compass, maps Charging is via a USB C cable that pokes into some exposed contacts at the back of the watch. The contacts being exposed to sweat/grime, I don't know how corrosion resistant those are. I had a "near" failure where it charged intermittently but fortunately it was resolved by cleaning the contacts.

Reloj súper completo, me gusta que detecta, aunque aún está acostumbrándose a mí, repeticiones y series en piso. Excelente complemento para dar seguimiento a tu salud y entrenamiento.

Sono davvero entusiasta del mio nuovo Garmin Forerunner 165! Venendo da un modello precedente con display MIP, il passaggio all'AMOLED è stato un vero salto di qualità: lo schermo è brillante, nitido e reattivo, rendendo la lettura dei dati durante la corsa e la navigazione nei menu un piacere. **Punti di forza:** * **Display AMOLED eccezionale:** Luminoso, colorato e facile da leggere in qualsiasi condizione di luce. * **Leggero e comodo da indossare:** Non si sente al polso durante la corsa o durante il sonno. * **GPS preciso e affidabile:** Traccia accuratamente distanza, ritmo e percorso. * **Ampia gamma di profili sportivi:** Non solo corsa, ma anche ciclismo, nuoto, HIIT e molto altro. * **Metriche di allenamento utili:** Offre dati su frequenza cardiaca, VO2 max, Body Battery, stress e monitoraggio del sonno (inclusi i nap). * **Daily Suggested Workouts:** Suggerimenti di allenamento personalizzati in base al recupero e alle prossime gare. * **Garmin Coach:** Piani di allenamento adattivi gratuiti per diverse distanze. * **Morning Report:** Utile riepilogo mattutino con informazioni su sonno, recupero e previsioni meteo. * **Buona autonomia della batteria:** Dura diversi giorni con un utilizzo normale e diverse ore con il GPS attivo. * **Garmin Pay:** Pagamenti contactless direttamente dal polso. * **Smart Notification:** Ricevi le notifiche del telefono direttamente sull'orologio. * **Interfaccia utente fluida e personalizzabile.** **Punti deboli (minori):** * **Mancano alcune metriche avanzate presenti su modelli più costosi (Training Status, Training Load, Training Readiness).** * **GPS a singola banda (non dual-band).** * **Non ha un profilo specifico per il triathlon (anche se si possono tracciare le singole attività).** **Conclusione:** Il Garmin Forerunner 165 è un eccellente smartwatch per la corsa che offre un ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo. Il display AMOLED è un vero punto di forza, e le numerose funzionalità dedicate al running e al benessere lo rendono un compagno ideale per l'allenamento quotidiano e per preparare le gare. Nonostante alcune piccole mancanze rispetto ai modelli di fascia superiore, lo consiglio vivamente a chi cerca un orologio da corsa affidabile, performante e con un display moderno. Cinque stelle meritatissime!

Erg blij mee. Had nog niet eerder een smartwatch dus even wennen, maar ik kan nu niet meer zonder denken. Je kunt eigen custom sporten instellen dus dat is fijn. Hij is volgens mij ook best accuraat.
