This hardware supports continuous monitoring of sleep stages, stress levels, and altitude changes.

Beyond fitness tracking, the Forerunner 165 Music integrates several smart features to support daily use. It delivers smart notifications and call alerts from a connected smartphone and enables contactless transactions with Garmin Pay.
