Review: Better than battery draining Apple Watch! - Really happy with this, had an Apple Watch for years as part of the Apple ecosystem and tbh was sick of the notifications not just related to my phone. The battery life was a pain too having to charge up every day. The Garmin Forerunner 165 is an excellent smart fitness watch, focusing actually on the fitness, really like the sleep tracking and body battery features. Won’t be ever going back to Apple again!
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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for Walking & Cycling too
*by A***R on 1 May 2026*

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.
