Love this!
I was wearing a Whoop strap, but missed wearing a watch; the Garmin Forerunner is Both! I love the data it tracks, it's easy to use for running, walks and more. Reviewing my run stats on the Garmin app is easy; very happy I switched.
This is great for a beginner or intermediate athlete. I would recommend the larger models if you want to track your hikes on a map.

Upgrade from Vivo HR
I had the Garmnin VivoHR and it was tine of an upgrade after 5 years (the battery was almost dead). I got the Forerunner 55 and I like it since is controlled by buttons and I was looking for that. It also has improved connectivity and the battery last a lot 7 days so far using it with GPS 1 to 1 half hour everyday. Also lined the timer feature and the stress app

Booklet print is tooooooi small!
I have not discovered all the features as I need the Hubble telescope to read the instructions booklet. So far I figured out how to time my runs. I will have to watch a YouTube video at some point to learn more. How hard is it to have bigger print! Don’t worry! You’re not the only people who do this! I couldn’t read the booklet even wearing reading glasses! Ugh!

Like getting lost in a Persian bazaar
I had my Forerunner 35 for over 8 years. When it showed signs of fatigue, I bought a 55. I naturally figured all the limitations (technical and physical) of the 35 would have been vastly improved. WRONG!!! The display font is smaller, the buttons more resistant, the logic of command order and association with buttons nonsensical, and the ability to track data accurately when there's overhead cover (leaves, eaves, branches, etc.) just as poor. But boy, a gazillion new bells and whistles which I have yet to learn the purpose of and map the location of in my memory (which button accesses which attribute/datum) make it seemingly a very well-endowed watch. I also don't like how erratically it records my pace (jumping from 6:53 to 10:35 to 7:50 in each reading) and that it includes in its calculation of overall pace values of standing still (aka, 0:00) even though I've already started running before I press the START button.

Wish I got this months ago
I was advised to get a fitness tracker for taking walks 2x per day that kept my heartrate between 110 and 120bpm. I tried several cheaper watches that all seemed to have issues of one kind or another.
Out of the box, this watch has a learning curve, but I was able to program it to suit me and it is the most reliable watch I've tried. I had to play around with face displays to find what was readable. Once I found that, everything else has been great.
I'm dealing with contrast problems for reading so I'm sure most people can find a face display they are happy with easier than me.
If I take my phone with me when using the app, it gives me audible updates so I don't have to keep looking at the watch. This is helpful when walking outside in temperatures that require bundling up.
Overall, this is the perfect watch for what I do.
There are lots of exercise modes available so you're not stuck with only an outdoor walking mode.

Just what I needed
I upgraded from a simple G-Shock to time my workouts, so anything interactive is an improvement. I appreciate the ease of choosing workout options and of course the recording to my phone. I didn't want anything too elaborate and the Forerunner 55 hits the mark: easy to use and not too many options I'd never use. And it's not bulky and heavy like some watches.

Absence of resume later
About 1 month with forerunner, replacing a Fenix 5 with charging failure. Battery life is excellent. Biking and walking are regular activities. Only complaint is the 'resume later' option is absent on forerunner. I would consider this a deficiency; absence of a required feature in any modern wearable, since no recreational user doesn't pause on some workouts.

Just NOPE!
Screen is SO DARK that it is unreadable, unusable. The layout of the info on the screen is in a SQUARE format and the corners are cut off because the face is ROUND. Hmmm... Checking internet reviews, information - looks like this is just how this device is. SUPPOSEDLY it may be readable in EXTREMELY BRIGHT SUNLIGHT OUTSIDE. Impossible to even set it up.

Too complicated
I purchased this Garmin because my previous one would show total pace as well as current pace. I wanted to be able to glance at my watch and see these stats and not have to flip through buttons on a run. I had trouble synching this also to the Bluetooth. Watch was flimsy and relatively delicate. Directions were poor and needed to be more comprehensive.

I love this watch. The features it has are amazing. Perfect for running-workouts, daily runs, etc.. The battery life is amazing. I had an Apple Watch previously and there is a vast difference. My only complaint is that messages or phone calls are not answerable on the watch. I am so happy I got 2 as well because I an alternate them and distribute the wear.

Best watch I’ve ever had!
I recently got this watch after running with an Apple Watch for almost a year. The Apple Watch was quite annoying because it would frequently die in the middle of the day And many of the stats were clearly inaccurate. I love how I can track my sleep with my Garmin. I only have to charge it about once a week. So many various things and is such good quality.

Has been super durable so far. I've smacked it on some rocks by mistake and the screen doesn't have any scratches yet. The GPS was a little off for the first few runs, but it seems to have self corrected. My longest outing with GPS on was 19 hours and the battery barely hung on. May want to opt for a higher end model if you expect to be out much longer.

Easy to use
I bought this watch to track my weekly runs and didn't realize the other features it had. I've also been using the watch to track my sleep cycles. Overall it has allowed me to better analyze my runs and motivates me to improve my speed. Both the watch and app are user friendly. I use the Apple Health app to combine both data from Apple watch and Garmin.

Retorno solicitado
hello. good afternoon. Today I did my first run with the watch. It was on a street circuit sponsored by Banco Santander here in Recife, PE, Brazil. I thought all the information the app offered me was really cool. various information including route graph. great. Now it’s time to save money so that maybe I can give my wife one like it for her birthday.

Good battery
Good item, really good battery, i can go with it to places and the battery runs out after multiple days. Gives a lot of choice for types of sport. The only downside is the controls, you may need a few days to get accustomed to it. Buy it if you want a low price Garmin before going into the big thing. Dont forget to download a personnalised background.

Great New Features!
I needed to get a new running watch because my Garmin 45 was on its last legs, so I bought the Garmin 55. The Garmin 55 is a great base watch and has new features not present in the 45 like suggested runs and recovery time after runs. These have been very helpful for my running. There are also more activity types to load to the watch, which is super.

Amazing Fitness Tracker
Been using it for about a month and a half now, daily use and mainly cycling for excercise. It has a long battery life and accurate GPS, and you can customize pretty much every screen on the watch to show the stats and data that you want. Highly recommend this watch for anyone looking to get a basic but highly functional fitness tracker/smartwatch.

Simple and accurate
I bought the 55 last month to replace another smart watch that had a very short battery life and have been really happy with the forerunner. I was looking for a watch that tracked workouts accurately, lasts for over a week between charges, and has metrics.
This checked all the boxes for me and was better for me than a more advanced smart watch.

Made for Runners!
My first Garmin watch after having a Chinese branded running watch. Easy to setup, connects to Strava no issues and is definitely a great addition for running (my primary use). Battery seems to last for about 2 weeks, though depends on usage. I also do not use to monitor my sleep so that prolongs the battery life. Happy with my purchase and price.

Forerunner 55 to replace my old friend 4runnr 35
I had a Forerunner 35 for years. Simple but had a horrible system for the band. The 55 improves the band attachment to something like a regular watch. It does more than the old 35 and is not so complicated that I couldn't get it to tell me the time and date. I haven't used it to track an activity yet but that doesn't look too difficult either.

Amazing for high school track!
I bought this watch almost a month ago and I absolutely love it. The price point is great for all of the features it comes with and it works fantastic to keep track of my milage and long runs as a high school distance track runner. I absolutely love the fun teal color and I couldn't be happier with this product. The battery life is great as well!

Great Watch
I have an Apple Watch that I love, but I hate that it needs to be charged every day. I bought a Garmin to be my second smartwatch to use on trips. I love that it’s compatible with my iPhone and the battery lasts more than 2 weeks. This watch is useful, attractive, lightweight, and waterproof. It was perfect for my road-trip to Utah and Colorado.

Beginner gps watch
Great customisable display. For a beginner runner this is a fantastic watch. Not too expensive. Has a few bells and whistles that make it a nice add on. This watch is reliable and gets the job done. For the price, you can't go wrong with this watch. One nice feature is that you can create your own workouts in the app and send them to the watch.

Forerunner 55 a win
I love the simplicity of this watch. It is a great price with everything you need for a great workout and tracking your performance. I pair it with my iPhone and I have the HRM 600. Not sure about the later, but the watch is well worth it. I would honestly say beginners and experts alike could drastically benefit from what this watch provides.

Time to be a great runner?
I didn't buy this to be a great runner. I don't run; haven't run since high school. I use it to count steps, my heart rate and my activity minutes. I buy Garmin because they can go in the water. I like to do water activities. How about adjusting your products for someone like me who isn't as active but would still like to track what they do?

Great simple watch for any active person
I love my watch!! It does everything I need it to do and was a great price. I use the find my phone feature every week (Very helpful). When I don’t know what type of workout to do the Garmin coach normally gives a good suggestion. This is great for someone who is getting into running or the active watch “lifestyle” (simple and easy to use).

This watch does everything I want it to do and nothing I don't. I wanted a running watch that I could use for cycling, intervals, agility workouts, and of course, daily steps. It takes a little time and a bit of experimenting to configure the screens to your preferred data, but the watch is really very easy to use once you've got those set.

Great Features
I enjoyed the lightweight and comfort on the Forerunner. The display and buttons make it easy to navigate. The accuracy seems spot on and love how it links with my apps. Battery life great and never have to worry about a low charge. If you are serious about your fitness you can't go wrong with the Forerunner and the data it can provide you.

Didn’t like it. Returned it.
I was hoping to replace my forerunner 35. But Garmin, like running shoe companies, discontinued my favorite model. This watch was over loaded w/ features for my needs. Didn’t need menstrual cycle, text messages, weather, music, health info, etc. All I want is my mileage, pace, pacing and time. TMI Some of us don’t want a kazillion features.

Great watch that is easy to love for all of its fitness tracking!! The only thing that I would note is it’s a bigger watch and is a little bit bulky. I love using it for running and tracking my sleep at night! This watch is probably better for a more experienced Garmin user as it has a lot more features like more advanced fitness tracking.
