The Garmin Forerunner 165 is a step up from the more entry-level Forerunner 55, offering a brighter AMOLED screen, more advanced health metrics, including heart rate variability (HRV) status, better GPS, and a deeper level of training/recovery insights.

The Garmin Venu X1 is the best Garmin smartwatch and the brand's closest model to an Apple Watch Series 11.
