Upgrading from a Garmin Forerunner 245 to a165 has been really nice. Love the newer screen. It works well and have always appreciated the long battery life.

I absolutely love this watch. I've already recommended Garmin to 3 people who have bought a watch since. The features are top of the line.

Watch says 11 days of battery life but I’m getting 5 days. I would have bought the next level if I had known but it’s still better than my old name brand watch. The watch takes some orientation if new user. Overall I like it but wishing I had upgraded to next 1-2 levels, I wanted to make sure I would like before spending the money. I ordered directly off the Garmin website, which was an easy, no pressure option.

It’s a decent watch but It’s too busy and complicated to navigate through the options. I feel like just putting it back to factory settings

Far exceeds my expectations. I also think its a value. Still learning all the bells and whistles. This is my second Garmin watch.

I bought this watch for running but I have really enjoyed using it as a smartwatch as well. The baseline heart rate zoning was way off on my first run but that adjusted itself over time. The battery is what I’m most impressed by though. I went on a 7 day work trip without my charger and when I got home I still had about 25% battery. It also charges in like an hour. My only complaint is you have to frequently sync it in the app to keep up to date weather information.

This is much different from my last Garmin watch. I still have things to learn about it. I've had it for a month. I am very pleased with it.
