Only real downside is the battery life
Bought this to complement a Garmin Edge Explore 2 head unit on my bike. On the whole, it seems more accurate than my original SmartWatch (an Amazfit) Battery life is poor (2-3 days),compared to my Amazfit which lasts double that.. but I can live with that, as you can do a lot more from the Garmin Smartwatch. One thing that bugs me though - is that you have to explicitly "Save" an activity rather than having it saved by default. Same goes for the head unit - I guess it's just a "Garmin thing"...

Great swim watch
It's a little confusing what the buttons perform but once you watch a video it's like where have you been all my life. I love the ability to count laps when swimming and analyzing my sleep. Great price too.
Grezza, 45 - 54
Very good value for money.
I bought the Garmin forerunner 165 as a replacement to my previous Garmin forerunner which was six years old and was beginning to have issues. This updated forerunner is very good. It's easy to set up, use and navigate. I have had the phone for 2 weeks and so far I am very pleased with it. The battery lasts a long time without charging. Glad I bought it.

Great smart watch, š does exactly what I expected
exercise watch, 55 - 64
Just what I wanted!
I did a bit of research when I bought this, its a lot of money to pay out, I wanted something simple, generally am interested in heart rate, steps, sleep quality, will use for running when back into it but focussing on strength training for now. So far, I am really pleased, has only been a week but it feels comfortable to wear and is really easy to use. I have been going back to Argos quite a lot of the best 2 years and been really pleased with my purchases. The reviews seem to be genuine and helpful, also really easy to pick up items or return to our local Sainsbury's. Please keep up the good service.
