Forerunner 165

Garmin Forerunner 165 is the perfect on-ramp to serious running. It packs a vivid 1.2-inch AMOLED touchscreen into a lightweight, easy-to-use design with up to 11 days of battery in smartwatch mode and 19 hours in GPS mode.

Personalized daily suggested workouts adapt after every run based on your fitness and recovery, and race adaptive training plans adjust in real time to keep you on track for race day.

During a run, wrist-based running power and dynamics — including cadence, stride length, and ground contact time — help you understand and improve your form. Training Effect shows how each session is affecting your aerobic and anaerobic fitness.

Off the watch, Body Battery energy monitoring, sleep score, and stress tracking keep an eye on your recovery. With smart notifications, Garmin Pay, and the full Garmin Connect ecosystem, Forerunner 165 delivers a lot of watch for the money.

"Switched from an Apple Watch to the Garmin Forerunner 165 and I'm never going back! It is everything I needed in a running watch — lightweight, accurate, and incredibly user-friendly. The AMOLED display is crisp and easy to read even in bright sunlight, and the battery life easily lasts several days with daily GPS workouts. I love how smooth the GPS tracking is, and the heart rate and sleep tracking feel super reliable. The daily suggested workouts and training feedback keep me motivated without being overwhelming."
