Lots of functions!
I purchased my Garmin Forerunner 165 Music to help with my training. I chose it because of reviews as well as the battery life. I do like it. My only mild complaint is that it’s been difficult to navigate and understand how to use it. Also, a lot of apps that you have to download. I wish it was more simplified to use… user friendly. But I may just have to get used to it.

Best I’ve had!
I’ve had mine for about 3 weeks and love it. Very practical use and easy to operate!

Difficult for me
I bought this a month ago and am still learning the fundamentals and functionality behind its operation. Difficult for an old guy that is self taught with watches and computers to teach one’s self,,

Terrible
Not user friendly at all! I had to watch a TON of YouTube videos and I still don’t know how to get 1/4 of the benefits of this watch.

Customer review from Garmin
Does everything I want and nothing I don't! mostly just using the more basic functions provided by a smart watch, and this thing handles that purpose flawlessly.

Bluetooth issues
I bought this so I could have music stored on the watch and not take my watch with me. The Bluetooth is not good. I am on my second (based on a return to Garmin), have updated software and tried different headphones and still it comes in and out. Pretty disappointed due to that.

Great for data
Works well for runs; music connection is not great. Inconsistent connection. I probably would not have bought forerunner with music if I knew it would not be more consistent.
