Garmin Forerunner 165 Charger Dock Cable

Yes. This dock is made specifically for the Garmin Forerunner 165 and the Forerunner 165 Music. Both watches share the exact same charging contacts on the back of the case, so a single charger covers either model. The connector clips onto the watch's charging port and holds it securely while it tops up.

Instead of a flat clip that lays your watch on its side, this charger has a weighted, rounded dock base that holds your Forerunner 165 upright while it charges, so you can still glance at the time and notifications. Grip pads on the underside keep it from sliding around your desk or bedside table. The 1m cable also supports full data sync, and you can choose a USB-A or USB-C connector in a 1-pack or 3-pack.

Both charge your Forerunner 165 at similar speeds, because the watch regulates its own charging voltage, so it comes down to the ports you already use. Choose USB-C if you plug into a newer laptop, wall adapter or power bank with USB-C ports. Choose USB-A if your charger, car port or plug uses the older, wider USB rectangle. The 3-pack is handy if you want one at home, one at work and one in your travel bag.

The quickest way is to check the watch itself: go to Settings > System > About, or read the model name printed on the back of the case. The Forerunner 165 comes in a single 43mm size with an AMOLED touchscreen. The only variation is the Forerunner 165 Music, which adds onboard music storage but uses the identical case and charging port, so this charger suits both. If your watch shows a different number (for example 55, 245, 255 or 965), it takes a different charger.

This dock is shaped for the Forerunner 165 range, so we recommend not using it with other models. Garmin uses different charging ports across its line-up, and matching the right one keeps charging reliable.
