Garmin Forerunner 165 Charger & Data Cable Replacement

Yes. This charging and data cable is made specifically for the Garmin Forerunner 165 and the Garmin Forerunner 165 Music. It clips onto the charging contacts on the back of the watch to both charge and sync — no adapters or extra parts needed. If you own a different Garmin model, browse the full range on our Garmin Chargers & Cables page to find the right match.

The watch end is identical on both — the only difference is the plug that goes into your power source. Pick USB-A if you charge from older wall adapters, computers or power banks, and USB-C if your laptop, wall charger or power bank uses the newer reversible port. Both charge at similar speeds, because the Forerunner 165 regulates its own charging rate. Choose whichever matches the chargers you already own.

The cable is 1 metre long and does both jobs: it charges your Forerunner 165 and syncs data to Garmin Connect or your computer. It's an ideal reliable backup to keep at your desk, in your gym bag or in your travel kit so you're never caught with a flat battery. Prefer to stock a few spots at once? Choose the 3-Pack option above.

Your exact model is engraved on the back of the watch case, and you can also confirm it in the Garmin Connect app under Garmin Devices. Both the Forerunner 165 and Forerunner 165 Music use this same cable. If the back of your watch shows a different model number, head to our Garmin Chargers & Cables collection and pick the cable listed for your device so you get the correct fit first time.

Absolutely. Runners love keeping a spare on the office desk or in the gym bag for a quick top-up before a session, and travellers keep one in their carry-on so the watch is ready for race day. The 3-Pack is popular for exactly this — one at home, one at work and one that lives in your bag. While you're setting up your 165, you can also refresh its look with a new strap from our Garmin Forerunner 165 bands range.
