Very good quality - Very easy to setup and use. Performs amazing very accurate stats on workouts and runs. Love my garmin would highly recommend.

It doesn’t pair - The Bluetooth stinks. After less than a month of use I can’t get it to pair with my iPhone. Waste of money

Garmin 165 - User friendly and love how long it stays charged! I charge about once a week.

HokuKOct 19, 2026 · Verified purchase ★★★★★

Perfect GPS watch for high school cross country! - I bought this watch for my daughter to use during her school cross country season, and she absolutely loves it. The built-in GPS locks on quickly and gives her dead-on pace, distance, and route tracking for both trail runs and track workouts. Beyond training, she wears it all day for the smart features—getting notifications, checking her recovery stats, and navigating the bright touchscreen display is effortless. It is lightweight, comfortable on a smaller wrist, and the battery easily lasts through a full week of practices and meets. Easily one of the best gear purchases we have made for her running!
