Why We Like The Garmin Forerunner 165 Watch

Preparing for race day has never been as easy as it is when we're rocking the Garmin Forerunner 165 Watch to track our every move. The GNSS tracking system accurately captures every mile we run, swim, hike, or bike, and wrist-based running power displays how much power we’re applying to the trail or road, so we can manage effort and fine-tune training. Other features, such as sleep scores, energy tracking, heart-rate monitoring, recovery time suggestions, training tips, and even women's health tracking, make this watch a must-have for anyone seriously interested in getting the most out of their daily physical activities.

The hype was way higher then it should be

I bought this in hopes that I could replace my apple watch - that was not the case. I did not like it at all. I gave it the benefit of the doubt and took time, but I do not like it. I will say the battery life is fantastic, but other than that, it is mediocre.

Excellent Features

It had been at least 25 years since my last HR monitor/watch. I wanted something that would replace my old watch for running and swimming activities. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that this watch did so much more. Text and email notifications and it even monitors my sleep activity. With so many features, it does take some time to learn all of the nuances. I also like that I have a mobile app on my phone and a desktop app on my PC.

Mixed Feelings

Records sleep great & steps fine along with fitness age but does not recognize other activities such as indoor cycling on a spinning / Peleton bike. Not sure if it's recording the cycling as steps or just not recognizing the activity at all. I do plenty of other activities besides running but "steps" seems to be the most common motion recognized. I don't want to have to manually add biking each time I ride. I want it to be automatically recognized. Way too much effort on. my part to manually record my exercise or motions.

Love the features but having problems

I switched from Apple to Garmin due to its features, but I am consistently experiencing connection issues that I did not encounter with Apple. Despite following all recommended troubleshooting steps, the problem persists. I previously used a Garmin device with limited features, which I enjoyed, but it was not a watch.
