Great Fitness Watch!

I love my Garmin Forerunner! I use it mostly to track bike rides, hikes, and walks, and it is always very accurate. The battery life cannot be beat and I only have to charge it about once a week. I have not used the music storage yet but I like that it is an option. This watch is definitely good for a beginner. You can add different workouts to your watch and change the face, it is very customizable. I also like that you can connect it to your phone so you can see your notifications on it. I love this watch!

Very Nice Watch/tracker!

I've been using this watch for about 2 weeks now. It has so many features and I am just figuring out how to use it. I highly recommend this model for active people!

I’ve been using the Garmin Forerunner 165 Music for a few weeks now, and I’m genuinely impressed. It’s the perfect blend of functionality, comfort, and value—especially for anyone who wants a watch that supports both fitness and everyday life. The Forerunner 165 Music feels like the sweet spot between beginner-friendly and performance-driven. It’s a great choice if you want a smartwatch that supports serious fitness goals but still fits seamlessly into daily life. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, music-capable fitness watch without the premium price tag.

Amazing Watch
