This budget Garmin smartwatch just got even cheaper, making it harder to resist

The Garmin Forerunner 165 is an affordable smartwatch that was introduced at the top of this year, offering great features and excellent battery life. While we love the affordable $250 price tag, it becomes a no-brainer once it goes on sale.

Right now, you can grab this model for one of its best prices, coming in at $200. Sure, the discount isn't steep, but the price shouldn't be ignored because this is the lowest price we've seen since the beginning of the year.

What's great about the Garmin Forerunner 165?

Despite being one of the more affordable Garmin models, the Forerunner 165 still packs quite a bit in terms of features. This model comes in a 43mm size and has a bright and vibrant 1.2-inch AMOLED screen. You also get up to 11 days of battery life, along with a variety of sensors for accurate health and fitness tracking.

Since this is part of the Forerunner line, it's meant to be used by runners. However, it has no issues handling other types of workout activities. The watch comes with plenty of tools to help you train and keep you on track to reach your goals. And since it's a smartwatch, it can also help you stay connected.

Garmin Pay will also allow you to pay for things at supported terminals, just in case you ever forget to bring your wallet. It's a good way to go if you're looking for something different. While Wear OS smartwatches get the most attention, Garmin has become a solid option for those focused on health and fitness.
