Garmin is set to launch the Forerunner 165, a new entry-level smartwatch designed to replace the Forerunner 55. This upcoming model has been leaked (via 91mobiles) ahead of its European release.

As per the report, the Forerunner 165 will be available in Black, White, and Turquoise, featuring a larger display and an updated design. Compared to its predecessor, the Forerunner 165 appears to feature slightly slimmer bezels and an overall less bulky design. The redesigned “Run” button is now more accessible, reflecting Garmin’s focus on user-friendly features. The watch is priced at €279 for the standard version, with a Music variant costing €329, offering built-in storage for media.

Key specifications of the Forerunner 165 include a 1.2-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 390×390 pixels.

However, it is noted that this model may have a shorter battery life of 11 days compared to its predecessor.

The smartwatch supports 20 mm quick-release bands, fitting between the sizes of the Forerunner 265 and 265S. This makes it a versatile option for different wrist sizes. Despite its entry-level positioning, the Forerunner 165 Music version comes with 4GB of storage.

It’s been almost 3 years since Garmin‘s Forerunner 55 hit the market, and it seems like an upgrade is finally on the horizon. Folks at Fitness Tracker Test have unearthed details about its successor, dubbed the Forerunner 165, on the official Garmin website.

While we don’t have any pictures yet, the leaks reveal almost everything about the upcoming watch. Let’s dive in!

Garmin Forerunner 165 Specs (Rumored)

Reportedly, the Forerunner 165 will feature a 1.2-inch AMOLED display with 390 x 390 pixels. While it’s a notable upgrade from the 1.04-inch LCD screen on its predecessor (the Forerunner 55), looks like it will have an impact on its battery.

While the Forerunner 55 can run for two weeks, the report suggests that 165 will only last for 11 days in smartwatch mode.

When GPS is activated, this drops to 19 hours, and with GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) enabled, it decreases further to 17 hours. Music playback alongside GNSS will further reduce the runtime to just 6.5 hours.

Additionally, the leak suggests that the Forerunner 165 might come in two models — the standard Forerunner 165 and the Forerunner 165 Music.

The latter includes built-in storage for music playback through Bluetooth headphones but will have a limited storage of 4GB. Moreover, only the Music model is said to support Wi-Fi connectivity.

As for health and wellness features, the watch reportedly includes the Elevate V4 PPG sensor for tracking heart rate variability and a barometric altimeter for measuring altitude. It can even track the number of floors you’ve climbed.

The smartwatch will offer other expected health features, such as an internal compass, sleep tracking with Nap Detection, and SpO2 monitoring.

Price

We’ve yet to get any details on the official price or release date of the Garmin Forerunner 165 smartwatch. But the leak suggests that the standard model could start at €280 (around $225) and the Music variant will be priced at €330 (around $355).
