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

Great bit of kit, plays my spotify list, tracks my activities and does everything i want. Would recommend. Worth the money and feels very light compared to my last one.

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.

Absolutely love my Garmin - beats an Apple Watch every time. The battery life, the accuracy, the insights, and just the simplicity of it. The app isn’t amazing but I don’t care too much about that tbh. So long as it’s usable and helps keep me on track that’s the main thing. The battery life really is a game changer, I only have to charge it once every 10-14 days.

I love my Garmin watch. I have been using over a year now. I charge it every 5-6 days. It’s sturdy and ergonomic. I used to have Apple Watch and l will not go back Apple Watch. I am quite energetic doing lots of activities. It records everything l need. Easy to integrate. Big enough display. I like it over all. I recommended my cousin who also bought and she liked it.

Very nice watch Easy to use Battery Life doesn’t last as long as I thought it would which is disappointing

Absolutely incredible! Does everything I need it to do, especially tracking my running, hiking and other fitness activities. Amazingly light, bombproof, and syncs perfectly every time to my phone. Could have easily spent another £200-300 on a more fancy Garmin, though I get everything I need from this watch. This replaced my Apple Watch Ultra 2, which was a great idea in principle, though I found it to be bulky, cumbersome, and the notifications drove me crazy (even after customising them to the absolute minimum). Probably just my preference though I prefer a sports watch to be for, er, sports, and to tell the time!

I’m a Garmin convert from Fitbit and never regretted it after what Google did to trash Fitbit when they took over. This Garmin is backed by a great app with sleep insights, HRV monitoring, resting heart rate monitoring and sleep quality to name a few. The step count is pretty accurate and the way it picks up elevated heart rate in exercise and stress is impressive. Primarily designed for runners, it gives hints and tips to improve performance and there’s a sleep coach too. I also like the interface and the fact I can choose my watch face (using my own photos - via an add on app). I’ve been using this for 6 months and having had Fitbits and 1 other Garmin (Vivosmart), this is the best I’ve used. It does all the other things like display texts and WhatsApp messages and its speciality is music control so it links to music and other similar apps on the phone. It has an emergency contact feature and things like sunrise & sunset times, walk tracking using its own GPS and elevation stats. I tend to charge this daily, so it’s always above 75%, and the only time it dips below that is if I have taken a five or six hour walk using the internal GPS tracking, which is higher battery use. Overall the battery use is pretty good. The reports after exercise are very helpful, pictured are the stats after a 7 mile walk. Not shoe (but always given) is the hours to recovery from an exercise which helps track when next to exercise and how hard. Finally I like its size - not to bulky on my smaller wrist and the colour is perfect for me.

I like this it is cool

Delighted with the garmin watch,love dealing with Amazon You are totally kept up with shipping and delivered schedule. Top marks

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.

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!

The package did not come in good condition, but fortunately the watch was not affected. It's a great product, perfect for both the gym and running, which was exactly what I was looking for. Good balance between price and quality
