Title: Great product, slow shipping
Review: The Forerunner 165 itself is a great product so far. Super lightweight (coming from someone who has never worn a watch) and user interface is easy. Great tool for running and getting to know your overall fitness!The reason I only rated 4 stars was for the shipping. In my experience, it appears Amazon is only used as a third-party selling platform and has nothing to do with the actual shipping/delivery process. Upon ordering, I was told I would receive the product in 2 days (without a Prime membership) and it took 3x that long. Shipping was done through USPS ground instead of Amazon which just doesn't have the same infrastructure to ship in the advertised time. I think this would be helpful to know if you're ordering for a gift/want the product ASAP. Wish the shipping would have been more clear, but otherwise I'm satisfied with the product!

Title: my first Garmin
Review: I'm super happy with my first Garmin watch for my running and cycling activiâ ies. it was so many features like being able to broadcast heartrate to my Wahoo Element Bolt for my outdoor cycling; or to Zwift for my indoor cycling trainings. Hence, no need for a separaâ e HRMs.Plus the fact that it is reasonably priced makes iâ  a great buy for me.
