The perfect beginner running watch is going for a song
Garmin prices the Forerunner 165 at $249. Amazon priced it below what no-name GPS watches cost on the same platform.
Many of Garmin's signature smartwatches are on sale for Prime Day, including Forerunner, Fenix, and Venu models.
The Forerunner 165 does everything most runners actually need.
Garmin's Forerunner 55 is pretty basic, but at least one record-breaking marathoner wore it to victory this year. It's now $129 new, $100 refurbished.
