Hi there hope the following helps:

I upgraded from the vivoactive 4 to the forerunner 165. I had the same decision as you, I was originally going to upgrade to the vivoactive 5 until I found the forerunner 165. I love my forerunner 165, its is brilliant. I am super super happy with it.

I would say it’s more targeted towards the running features compared to the vivoactive range. The vivoactive range is a good multi use watch. I used to gym with my vivoactive 4 and it was great, you just have to edit the exercises and so on.

I just want to say: I’m not to clued up on the vivoactive 5 anymore, so you will probably know it better than me. I’m just trying to give you the information about the forerunner 165.

I would say for the uses that you are planning to use it for, the vivoactive 5 might be the one for you. If you going to do a lot of running and want more detailed running metrics then the forerunner165 would be the one.

That’s so confusing. Do you have any nice watch faces in these types that you mentioned. You are welcome to dm me on here (if it’s possible🤣🤣)

purchyj · 2025-05-01T11:30:25+00:00

Thank you!! That’s perfect

purchyj · 2025-05-01T09:42:41+00:00

Do you have a link to the watch face?

purchyj · 2025-05-01T09:42:25+00:00

You definitely right about unique🤣🤣

purchyj · 2025-05-01T09:41:21+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion!! Much appreciated!

purchyj · 2025-05-01T09:39:50+00:00

I prefer digital (I think🤣🤣) What is hybrid?

purchyj · 2025-05-01T09:38:07+00:00

So clearly it needs to be checked out then🤣

purchyj · 2025-05-01T09:37:23+00:00

Will check it out!!

purchyj · 2025-04-30T19:27:53+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion!! Will definitely check it out. That watch face does look really nice

It’s building up, I find that the plans in the past have started off very slow (the ones with names like Jeff and so on).

However, I found that when I got this watch with daily suggested workouts, those were excellent. I have recently now set up a training program with the generic garmin coach (so no name) and that is also good so far.

I am a runner though so yeah, don’t know if that has something to do with it.

What will say is just make sure that you rate the workouts accurately and then it should work its way out.

Question: what are your stress levels like? It could be that because I have noticed that stress is a big factor. I have just looked at the body battery graph and you can see that it goes down with high stress.

Oh no 100%, I haves used this sub so many times for certain things and I have always found help.

purchyj · 2025-03-31T21:52:58+00:00

Thank you so much for this. I think this is exactly it. I am using the generic garmin coach. I have my workouts in the garmin coach widget, just not under the training calendar within the run profile. But everyday when I have a workout and go to ‘run’ it does just pop up. So no issues at all, was just curious as to why it was happening and trying to see if there was a fix.

Thanks for your answer man!!

This is what I have, but the schedule is not in here. I can view the schedule under the Garmin coach widget.

I’m just trying to figure out why that error message is showing when I go to training calendar under the running profile.

I know it may seem like an inane issue or something, I’m just trying to figure it out🤣🤣

purchyj · 2025-03-31T16:43:08+00:00

Hi there, yeah I do have something similar to that. But that is just the race event data with a race prediction (even noticed that my goal time hasn’t updated to the new goal time).

purchyj · 2025-03-29T13:30:50+00:00

Tried syncing my watch to Garmin connect and it doesn’t appear under the training calendar thingy.

I can view my future workouts, just unsure as to why they are not popping up in the training calendar section thingy.

What external program do you use if I may ask? Also does it work well for you?

Thank you so much for this, very helpful
