The running smartwatch that actually earns its hype. The Garmin Forerunner 165 brings the bright 1.2 inch AMOLED display you expect from premium watches into a genuinely affordable package. It tracks GPS runs, heart rate, HRV, sleep, stress, recovery, training load, and even generates adaptive training plans based on your workouts. 11 days of battery in smartwatch mode, 19 hours with GPS on, and lightweight enough to forget you are wearing it. Serious enough for half and full marathon training, simple enough if you are just starting out. A huge upgrade from a basic fitness tracker.
