Victor, a seasoned mobile technology expert, has spent over a decade at PhoneArena, exploring the depths of mobile photography and reviewing hundreds of smartphones across Android and iOS ecosystems.

Let me say it right away: the Garmin Forerunner 165 is the Garmin watch most people should buy in 2024.

The unboxing experience is very bare-bones, and Garmin could definitely do a much better job with presentation. The Forerunner 165 comes in one 43mm size, which is a very universal size that would look great on most wrist sizes, except probably the very big ones. This does not mean I am perfectly happy with this interface. You can use either the touchscreen to navigate or the buttons, which is good, but it still feels Garmin has not fully optimized the UI for touch. For example, a swipe left or right does absolutely nothing on GarminOS!

Heart rate measurements are also mostly accurate with very few moments when the watch would deviate from the reading of a dedicated chest heart rate monitor. Garmin has a number of cool metrics, but the all-encompassing one is Body Battery Basically, you recharge your Body Battery when you sleep, and then it slowly drains through the day, faster if you work out.
