The Garmin Forerunner 165 Watch is an excellent sports watch, especially when combined with the Garmin 200 Heart Rate Monitor Chest Strap. I recently had Open-Heart Surgery. I used to monitor my HR while exercising—great results, which promote self-confidence.

I bought this about 1 month ago and really like it. I am not a runner, I am a walker but it still work great. Only think that I am struggling with is chaging the face so that it shows walking not running. But that doe sot stop me from waring it as there are other ways to get to the steps walked. I love it and woudl recommend it.

Still Learning

CJR14 . 20 days ago
I got this watch about a month ago and I’m still trying to learn features.
Wish the features were more explanatory and simpler to figure out. But overall a nice watch. I had the XT 735 before and this is a close replacement.

Garmin Forerunner 165 does everything that I need to keep track of my fitness metrics. It is easy to navigate the watch menu and customize the watch face according to your needs.

Ending a Lap Swim Training Session
2 out of 5 rating
Aqua Warrior . 23 days ago
I bought this watch 3 weeks ago to use in place of my Venu3 (although heavier, it was simple to stop and save session - works perfectly). My older Swim 2 (which stop and saved the session as venue 3). On the 165 I have to press the start/stop button numerous times to save the session. It makes me go answer several screens (how I felt, stress levels, etc. - instead of just saving the session. A real pain - As a result, I do not like this watch in comparison to Swim 2 and Venu 3.

I had the vivo active 3 and loved it. Did everything I needed it to, but the forerunner 165 is the next level. If you take running and fitness seriously, then you need this watch. The features it has with HRV, recovery, sleep coach, body battery are game changers. They really give a more complete understanding of your body which then leads to a healthier life and better training.

You can't beat this watch for the price. Great watch for anyone that wants the basics or just wants to see what all Garmin has to offer.
