Easy to use! Great Features
I purchased this about 2 months ago, but just started using. So hard to stop using my previous Garmin. I am so happy with this watch. Easy to use and similar to my old watch with updated features! Love it! Happy Running ahead

Best I ever had!
Garmin is no joke. This is my 3rd smart watch and by far trumps all others I have used before. Makes the Google Fitbit seem like a joke. The data and insights are scary accurate; body battery feature is cool and gear life among many other features really sets this watch apart. Really pleased with my purchase and the battery life is 9-10 days on average and i am very active so that is great too.

good job once again garmin
i got this as a replacement for my apple watch and i highly recommend it. it is super efficient and way more accurate than an apple watch. i would say it’s a bit hard to sync workouts after to strava but its ok.

I Love It, I Am Never Going Back!
Twice my apple watch died while having a full battery. Both times I was PR'ing on a run. I immediately took it off, gave it away and went to the store and bought this Garmin. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. I charge it once a week, it tracks my sleep, my runs, my bike rides, and still have plenty of juice in it after I do all of those activities.
Highly Recommend.

Switched from the Apple Watch to Garmin.
Recently purchase the Forerunner 165 and have been thoroughly liking the simplicity of it. I know it's not the higher end Garmin and to be frank, I switched over from the Apple Watch and have been truly enjoying the switch. It's nice to go back to what a fitness watch is supposed to be, "Fitness." Yes getting notifications is handy, etc. But once you experience using the watch for the basics and to track your fitness, Garmin is the way to go.

Honestly one of the best watches I've ever worn. It's durable, tells me exactly what I need, and doesn't have too many fancy gadgets that may overwhelm some. I've worn Fitbit, Apple Watch, etc and this is a watch that I will get again once it stops working.

Very Happy With It
I've had it about a week now and it can feel overwhelming, due to all the features, but it's doing everything I needed and then some.

Won over a reluctant user!
Great watch! I bought for my husband to track his runs (after him fighting me for years) and he is very impressed with it and said he should have gotten one sooner!

Easy transition!
Switching from Apple Watch because it didn’t sync well with heart rate monitor and other sensors. My forerunner has made that so much easier. I’m so glad I made the change. The only thing I haven’t figured out yet is syncing with my Dexcom g7, but based on my research that seems to be a challenge for many. I am loving Harmon and my Tacx trainer!

Proud Apple Watch Convert!
I received the Forerunner 165 as an early Mother's Day gift, and I am loving it! I switched over to Garmin after battery issues with my Apple Watch -- so glad that I did. Great sleep and stress information, amazing battery life and so much more data!

2nd forerunner
This is my second forerunner. The first one lasted many years. Garmin has an excellent product.
I use it for running and also I am a teacher and it comes in very handy during my school day in timing my students and their running too.
I love the data on my sleep and heart rate.
Thank you Garmin!

Excellent tracking and display, a major step up
I bought my 165 as a replacement for my 55 Forerunner. The 165 improves upon the 55 not only in its tracking of running and fitness data, but also in its sleep tracking, which is more detailed and seems to be significantly more accurate. The display is also a step-up.

I upgraded from my Garmin 55 and am so happy I did! The 55 still works fine, just battery life was becoming unreliable after 6 years.

Love the Forerunner
I love that this watch is easy to use. I had my last Forerunner for 12 years, and everyone was recommending that I upgrade to some fancier Garmin, but I stuck with this one. It has all the features I need and more.

Great Features
I had to purchase a new Garmin about a month ago because my other Garmin broke. A piece of the watch face where the band attaches chipped off. The watch itself is still in working condition. I looked to see if there was a way to fix it but I did not have any luck. I love Garmin watches and would recommend them and have recommended them to my friends. I love that they are waterproof and have a great battery life. The Forerunner 165 that I have now is a touch screen which I really appreciate as well.

Love my Forerunner 165
Love it. I mainly bought it to do more swimming drills and love how it works. It doesn’t change screens or get affected by water touching the screen.

Very satified
I've been using it for 2 months and it is more user friendly than my previous Forerunner. It's a little more stylish also.
