Our take on the Garmin Forerunner 165 Music GPS Running SmartWatch

The Forerunner 165 Music is Garmin's entry-level GPS running watch with music storage and a bright 1.2-inch AMOLED display. It covers the essentials well: built-in GPS, wrist heart rate, adaptive training plans, and up to 11 days in smartwatch mode. It suits newer runners and anyone who wants guided training and offline music without stepping up to the pricier Forerunner 265, which adds a larger screen, multi-band GPS and more advanced recovery metrics.
