The Garmin Forerunner 165 has a 1.2-inch OLED screen that looks as sharp as any Garmin watch.

It has a relatively high-end array of features and good stat-tracking hardware.

It's a great all-rounder at $ 249.99 , while the Music edition costs a little more at $ 299.99 ( 289.99 ).

The Garmin Forerunner 165 measures stress, sleep and blood oxygen.

The watch measures stress levels and sends alerts for unusual heart rate readings.

It also sends alerts when it senses unusually high-stress levels.

It has access to Garmin’s Connect IQ app store, which is home to a reasonable selection of (admittedly) simple) apps .

The Garmin Forerunner 165 is an excellent fitness watch that avoids the most off-putting aspect of Garmin trackers: their sky-high prices.

The Coros Pace 3 is an impressive watch, too: its battery lasts longer, and you can send routes to it for on-watch navigation.

The Forerunner 265 is the next step up: it adds multi-band GPS , has better battery life, supports turbo trainer control and has music support.
