Wonderful experience at the store. The salesperson was very helpful.

I purchased the Forerunner 165 Music because my previous Forerunner was showing its age. I wanted to be sure I had a functioning Garmin before the old one shut down for the last time. I am pleased overall with the Forerunner 165 Music and particularly like the much brighter screen which is now more readable in sunlight. Set up was fairly easy and straightforward if you have experience with Garmin. A few minor annoyances like at the end of a run when saving the data needing to tell respond I don't want to answer the question about level of effort and how did I feel every time. I clicked on the arrows saying to skip these questions and it held for a few times but now is back. Minor annoyance but still wish it would "go away". The silicone band is the same as previous and I could not wait to get rid of it as I have with previous watches. Wish Garmin would provide more alternative band options as silicone and leather do not work for me.

Having trouble with playing music on watch, first person I spoke on the phone with nice and helpful. I had to reset watch to factory settings and had other issues with connecting watch to phone. Calling the second time I spoke to an arrogant person who was condescending. He did help me with my issue but was not pleasent to speak with. Watch has been great other than this issue and wish I could view maps in watch, but that could be a function of the more expensive ones.

I needed a watch with accurate GPS while I power walk. I am in my sixties and I was concerned that I wouldn't understand how to use it, but there are easy to understand videos out there that helped me with everything I needed. I love the music feature, I put my music library from my computer onto it. It is easy to see the stats I need while walking. I'm so happy I bought it!!!

Bought this a couple weeks ago for my first 1/2 marathon. Easy to use and has everything I need to track my fitness.

I got this watch a few weeks ago. Still discovering more options every day! I am so very pleased it has Jeff Galloway as a coach to guide me along with my run walk run method of exercising.

Still figuring it out; has a lot of great features. Having a problem trying to figure out how to play the music I downloaded to the watch from my computer.

I've been using my Forerunner 245 Music for a few years and it has served me well - but the Forerunner 165 Music solves every issue I had with the 245 - specifically the screen being hard to read especially in direct sunlight. The larger, clearer, AMOLED touchscreen is amazing - I can read it easily even without any glasses. The battery life blows the 245 away as well. To be fair I didn't notice the issues with my 245 until I started using the 165.

I had this watch for about a month and it's perfect for my use case which is running and working out. I highly recommend for anyone who wants something for running and strength training.

I am new to Garmin but had been curious about them and the additional features (eg Garmin Coach) as I've wanted to push myself further with running (I am an ex lifter whose new to running and unsure how to train "properly"). This watch is excellent and has more than I need - I was torn between this and the 265s, and I am so happy with my choice of the 165M. Best investment and loving it. Can't imagine life and training without it.

I bought this watch for the battery life, the improvement of data in my training (in particular my running), but also appreciate the added training features for other activities. It's a good looking watch as does what it says. I'd recommend to anyone.

The 165 has helped my pace and distances. I can just go run

Made the jump from my Apple watch and glad I did. Frustrating to get it up and running initially, (I am a bit technologically impaired), but finally watched a YouTube video by a third party and was able to put it all together. Love all the features, it's perfect for me.

I bought my Forerunner 165 the day after I began a half marathon training class. I couldn't love it more! The display is so bright and easy to read. My favorite features are the audio prompts. I programmed it to remind me of my running pace every two minutes, which has been so helpful for my training. And the fact that it is purple makes it the absolute perfect watch!

I've had this watch over a month now and it's been a great running watch, the issues I've had is that it just will not stay connected to my phone; I don't get notifications for calls or texts even though it's on, weather app is two days delayed but I think it's because it can never connect to my phone, the battery last tops 5 days. Just had higher expectations for this watch.

I bought this product about a month ago, I was training for a half marathon, but have strained my hamstring. I was loving the features and still use it daily. I like how it will show you which muscles you are training when you record a strength training workout.

I have been using this watch for over a month now and love it. The interface is the perfect size and the navigation through the watch is easy once learned. It has been helping me improve my running and learn more about my running each time used. The music feature is great because i love not having to have my phone. Headphones, Garmin watch, shoes, shorts and im off and running with no worries. Highly recommended and i havent even scratched the surface on its many other features and tracking

A much needed upgrade after 5 years with my other Forerunner. I love this watch!

just getting back into shape and this has been a fun tool to help track things along the way. Haven't really used the music feature yet. build quality and software are top notch. tracking all seems accurate. Only thing I'd change is battery life and maybe a dedicated hiking mode instead of just walking (seems fair for a running watch)

I have a few weeks running with this watch now and have to say that for the money, it is near impossible to beat. The run features are excellent and the ability to sync to a music provider is fantastic. Battery life is a little lacking and I really wish it had a larger screen, but otherwise I love it.

Upgraded from the Forerunner 55 and the 165 Music has these same things, but improved on, and additional features. Love it!
