"Garmin kept its Black Friday pricing active on several models including this Forerunner 165 that's still sitting at its all-time low of $199 instead of the usual $249. This watch targets occasional and regular athletes who want serious training features without dropping a grand on the latest Fenix flagship model. The compromise here hits perfectly for people who run a few times a week or mix various activities but don't need ultra-endurance battery life or sapphire crystal displays."
"Instead of sticking to a strict schedule that doesn't take into account how your body feels, the daily suggested workouts change based on how well you did and how quickly you recover. The watch looks at your training load, sleep quality, and heart rate variability to suggest workouts that will help you improve without overtraining. This is very helpful if you want to get better without hiring a personal trainer because the watch basically sets up your training based on sports"
The Forerunner 165 is available at an all-time low price of $199, down from $249, positioning it as an affordable alternative to flagship devices. The watch uses a bright AMOLED touchscreen plus physical buttons to combine touch convenience with reliable tactile control. It targets occasional and regular athletes who need serious training features without ultra-endurance battery life or premium materials. Daily suggested workouts adapt based on performance, recovery, training load, sleep quality, and heart rate variability. Garmin Coach integration provides structured race training plans. Training effect labels and recovery time calculations guide workout impact and rest needs. A morning report summarizes sleep quality, HRV status, and training readiness.
