The Garmin Forerunner 165 deal is the perfect Prime Day upgrade for your new running hobby
Running is booming and the Garmin Forerunner 165 is a brilliant way to start tracking detailed stats
Embrace the great outdoors this summer with a deep discount on one of Garmin’s best value running watches – the Forerunner 165 – for Amazon Prime Day.
Amazon is knocking $50 off the Forerunner 165, which takes the US price of the excellent GPS running down to $199 from the asking price of $249. In the UK, the price is down to £173 from £249, which is an even grander saving.
The Forerunner 165 delivers all of the features the majority of recreational to intermediate runners will need from their watch – in a much more affordable package than some of Garmin’s top end models.
There’s pace, distance, wrist-based running power and dynamics, training effect insights, adaptive training plans, and a host of activity profiles, from paddle boarding to pickleball. Plus, there’s sleep monitoring and nap detectionthat’ll give you your training readiness when you wake up early for long run Sunday.
There’s an AMOLED display, that remains visible even in bright sunshine and ideal for those blazing summer runs, plus there’s 11 days of battery life that’ll you through a few sessions of beating the tarmac.
Naturally, there’s powerful and rapid GPS, five physical buttons to make control easy on the go when prodding a touchscreen isn’t desired. It even offers Garmin Pay to enable you to easily grab some refreshments when you’ve just crushed the parkrun 5K.
At this price it’s a great option for runners looking to start delving a little deeper into their stats in search of that Strava kudos.
