Is the Garmin Forerunner 165 worth the money? 

Adan, I just stumbled upon our video as a RU-vid recommendation, and I loved it. Your energy and honesty are superpowers. I'm definitely subscribing and looking forward to seeing more videos from your journey. Keep pushing!

Great job. You are amazing. Love listening to your videos. You will get there. ❤

Nice and straight. Cool video man. Loved how you spoke openly

What am inspiration! I'm crawling back up from a steep burn out. I do different things as only running would be boring, but I just found out that for the first time in my life my cholesterol is high (I'm only 32) and that is largely due to a healthy lifestyle having fallen apart over the last year. So I now have a 5K and 10K in May and half marathon in September in the Garmin calendar. Not sure if I'll partake, but I'd really love to be a faster runner again and at least I'm training for them now.

Keep On like this, Adam Tinkoff!

I have Been using Garmin 265 for 4 months and let me tell you . I Love everything about Garmin . I also Have Apple Watch 8 Gps , I dont wear it since the time I got garmin . what ever garmin You have , it is still better than any apple watch.

All the best in your training! I was really relating to this. I started wearing a Garmin Instinct 2 in December to pay attention to my body, after “training” by feel for 28 years. At 46, I need to be smarter about my heart health finally. Not just redline it all the time. The data and coaching on Training Readiness, Body Battery, HRV etc. is interesting and helpful, coaching me to a more effective, injury free approach to running and biking.

Nice. I just started running last June at 31. almost a year in and can't believe the difference it has made. So far I have lost about 30 pounds and my mile time went from 15 or 16 min mile in the beginning to now 7:56. I have done many 5ks, A single 10k race, and a single 1/2 marathon. I plan to do the half marathon again this year and cut about 1.5 hours off of my time. keep teetering with the idea of a full marathon but scared lol. I use the apple watch Ultra and honestly you probably made the right choice the apple watch makes me angry with many different things for running use. I plan to get a Garmin just haven't yet. Keep up the videos.

I’m here for the question answer. But stay because of your energy.

Im about to buy this watch and i watched a lot of content on yt about it and let me tell you...youre the first channel i subscribed to

dang, now I’m hungry 🍕Great work!

Great video

It's the absolute best entry level Garmin since years. Feature packed, yet doesn't cost a fortune.

Moving is the most important thing. And yeah, I often tell Garmin that I'm doing a "run" workout just for fun. I have yet to try the Forerunner 165, but I did enjoy the Forerunner 955. I prefer the EPIX 2.0 on my left wrist right now. Nice thoughts about this entry-level smartwatch. Best of luck with your race training...

The best honest, simple 165 review I've heard so far. The highly produced ones are often annoying. Question - does the HR band connect to the watch or your phone?

I bought a 165 and setup the watch face, which included an elevation data field so you could access that information as needed. After the first update, that feature was removed and you can no longer access the elevation data outside of an activity. After reaching out to Garmin, they told me they removed the feature to "differentiate" the lower end device as such. To remove a feature that was previously there as soon as you release the product, which contains the hardware for the feature is a really bad look. I opened up a case with Garmin and they verified the presence before, the the lack of the feature after the update and told me they would reach out via email to update me on whether this will be aded back. So far, I've not heard back form them ...sad.

Best of luck 👍

all the best

The 265 has it all

Garmin 165 has SINGLE GPS BAND. Just so you know. I love your video though!!

In u train mostly in gym would u recommend this or vivoactive 5?

Hi, thanks for your honest opinion. Im trying to figure out if training status/ load data, is shown on the garmin app. This data is not visible from the watch itself. Can you tell me if this is shown on the garmin phone app. Thanks in advance.

Here in my country the price of that watch is a whooping 365 Euro .........
