The Garmin Forerunner 165 smartwatch is turning heads with its new discounted price at Amazon in the US, now available for just $199. Originally priced at $249.99, this appealing $50 markdown makes it an attractive deal for fitness enthusiasts and tech lovers alike. The watch’s sibling, the Forerunner 165 Music, also sees a price drop from $299.99 to $249.99. These sleek devices, perfect for runners, feature a vibrant 1.2-inch AMOLED display and were launched earlier this year.
Available in four stylish colorways—Black/Slate, Mist Gray/Whitestone, Turquoise/Aqua (exclusively for the Music version), and Berry/Lilac (also exclusive to the Music line)—these watches are ideal for those who covet both functionality and flair. Residents in the UK can also enjoy savings, with the Black/Slate model priced at £194.72, down from its usual £229.99.
These Garmin watches boast an impressive array of features. With GPS tracking, users can accurately track their pace and distance, while the Garmin Run Coach offers bespoke training plans to elevate your fitness journey. Medically inclined users will appreciate the wrist-based heart rate monitor, capturing health data that feeds into the convenient Morning Report, summarizing sleep, recovery stats, and even giving weather forecasts to kick start your day. Power efficient, the Forerunner 165 can last up to an impressive 11 days on smartwatch mode and 19 hours with GPS mode activated.
For music lovers, the Music variant provides the added convenience of downloading tracks and playlists from major platforms like Spotify and Amazon Music. This means you can enjoy your favorite tunes on the run, free from the hassle of carrying your smartphone, thanks to Bluetooth audio compatibility that works seamlessly with wireless headphones.
The duration of these impressive deals remains uncertain, which means now is an opportune time to invest in a premium smartwatch that complements your active lifestyle. Whether you’re hitting the trails or simply enjoying city runs, the Garmin Forerunner 165 and its Music counterpart aim to be your perfect training companion.
