Garmin Forerunner 165

Pros

• If you want a watch for running or sports in general, the Forerunner 165 is more than sufficient and super light as well, can't recommend it enough, especially because it's only around $200.
• The Forerunner 165 really does seem like the sweet spot for someone just getting into Garmin - AMOLED screen at that price point is pretty wild compared to what we had even a couple years ago
• the Garmin Forerunner® 165 is your best value, entry-level watch. It has a ton of features and an AMOLED screen, as well as solid single-band GPS and more data and analytics than you'll know what to do with. It does hiking, swimming, and...
• for a runner coming from the vivoactive 3, the garmin forerunner 165 is a really solid upgrade. it keeps things simple, has accurate gps, a much better screen, and long battery life without adding extra features that might feel overwhelm...
• The Forerunner 55 ($150) and 165 ($200) are great entry level running watches.

Cons

• 165 doesn't have multiband GPS.
• It's basically all current-gen devices except some lower-end models like the Forerunner 55 and 165
• Vivoactive and Forerunner (that's what Garmin told me) doesn't have pace alert while swimming.
• Sleep tracking I find can be a little off but generally quite good (I’ve gotten up out of bed, poured myself some water and gotten back into bed and it’s told me I was in REM, lol), but I think that’s the same with most fitness watches....
• I kept the screen off because Amoled annoys me like hell. I kept the FR165 for when I go running or on a biking vacation, but on day to day I'm with mechanical watches now and the Helio strap.
