Use training effect and training effect labels to see how your workouts impact your fitness and to understand the primary benefit achieved from your workout. Then, check recovery time to know how long to take it easy between runs. Let the beat push you further with built-in music storage for phone-free listening. Pair your watch to your smartphone, and your notifications will show up right on your wrist. Get a more complete picture of your health, not just a glimpse, from your Forerunner 165 Music smartwatch, with up to 11 days of battery life in smartwatch mode.

Review: Great for Walking & Cycling too - 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.
Review: Excellent - Had been using one of the better budget fitness bands for years and thought it was okay for tracking steps and recording hikes and squash. Followed a recommendation to switch up to a Garmin as I was completing couch-to-5k and planning to keep running. Had it a month now and can say it is worth every single penny. So much data, very clearly presented, with an excellent companion app. Unless you are (working towards being) an elite runner, the 165 model probably has all the features you will need. Apart from activity tracking and analysis, I have found the sleep data invaluable in helping understand when and why I sleep better/worse and the effect it has on me physically and mentally. Can’t recommend highly enough.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing watch!
*by F***N on 2 May 2026*

So far so good. I’m currently training for a half marathon so I got this predominantly for tracking runs/pace but this is also so much more. Detailed stats and breakdowns of all kinds of exercise, sleep analysis, Vo2 max, heart rate. Honestly I love it! Great price on Amazon aswell, it’s around £40 cheaper than the actual Garmin official website. The watch face is touch screen and very responsive. Easy to use.
