Review: Perfect fitness watch - I’m a Garmin convert from Fitbit and never regretted it after what Google did to trash Fitbit when they took over. This Garmin is backed by a great app with sleep insights, HRV monitoring, resting heart rate monitoring and sleep quality to name a few. The step count is pretty accurate and the way it picks up elevated heart rate in exercise and stress is impressive. Primarily designed for runners, it gives hints and tips to improve performance and there’s a sleep coach too. I also like the interface and the fact I can choose my watch face (using my own photos - via an add on app). I’ve been using this for 6 months and having had Fitbits and 1 other Garmin (Vivosmart), this is the best I’ve used. It does all the other things like display texts and WhatsApp messages and its speciality is music control so it links to music and other similar apps on the phone. It has an emergency contact feature and things like sunrise & sunset times, walk tracking using its own GPS and elevation stats. I tend to charge this daily, so it’s always above 75%, and the only time it dips below that is if I have taken a five or six hour walk using the internal GPS tracking, which is higher battery use. Overall the battery use is pretty good. The reports after exercise are very helpful, pictured are the stats after a 7 mile walk. Not shoe (but always given) is the hours to recovery from an exercise which helps track when next to exercise and how hard. Finally I like its size - not to bulky on my smaller wrist and the colour is perfect for me.
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.
