Forerunner 55, GPS Running Watch with Daily Suggested Workouts, Up to 2 Weeks of Battery Life, Black - 010-02562-00

I’ve always used garmin watches. Love the size, shape appearance of the watch face. The band is comfortable also. So far the battery life is quite good. Display is great and to read. It’s a bit different than my last one, but easy to figure out the options.

nothing fancy. Good solid watch with all the info your average runner needs. Distance, mileage, speed, steps, heart rate, altitude climbed/dropped, and other info. you can keep a log of each of your activities; running, walking, biking, trails etc. etc. As an added bonus my watch displays phone calls and texts. I'm sure the activity display can be customized but I've not felt the need to change what's there. The watch face display can be changed to meet your likes. I get about two weeks battery life while using the gps for an hour or so each morning and maybe another hour or two on the weekends,

My absolute favorite running watch (I upgraded from a different Garmin). The functions (button controls on the side of the watch) may take a little time to learn, but it's not difficult. The GPS is extremely accurate and all of the information from the watch syncs quickly to the Garmin App. I've worn it in all kinds of weather and different types of races and have never had a problem. Pretty strong battery life, too, but out of habit, I do charge it every night. Looks nice and the adjustable band ensures a perfect fit! Really great running watch, and I know I'm not even taking advantage of everything it offers yet.

Perfect watch for my daughter who is s competitive swimmer. Vibrant colors and great value for what we needed. He best friend also bought one after us. Long battery life with quick charging, and very durable

Good sports watch. Buttons work as expected. No touch screen means no unintended mistakes. Connects to my chest heart rate sensor via Ant+. Connects to Strava. Battery life is better than other watches (due to no touch screen, dimmer display), though as expected the marketing material is overzealous. I get maybe five days of battery life. I think the product details claim 14 days. I am giving a review at the four-month mark. Worked great so far but now the charging cable needs to be wiggled just right for the electrical contact to happen.

Great watch, I use this everyday and only need to charge like twice a month. The alarm vibrations don’t get me up as easily in the mornings as my Apple Watch, but that’s the ONLY complaint. It shows all notifications, but I only like seeing calls and texts on here, and tracks my runs and workouts great. Does NOT have strength training options like the 265 or Fenix series, but that’s alright, I use HIIT for weights and can change it in the app if I want to track more specifically what I did. It had about two weeks of this weird Bluetooth connection, it was connected to my phone but showed a code like it needed to connect to something, restarted it a couple times and it’s been gone for about a month or more now.

what a great investment! couldn't find it yesterday. threw in a load of laundry and forgot it. oops. ran thru an entire wash cycle. expected it to be kaputz! like it never happened. working great. love this watch. major step up from the generic brand I got off amazon. really in-depth data. this isn't a fancier garmin. very nuts and bolts. but its utilitarian. and gets the job done.

Very basic model, but does everything I need, and priced well below the fancier ones. I bought this specifically to track my times during training runs for an upcoming marathon. I don't need it to do a whole lot, but it still has a ton of features I'll probably never use. I personally like that it has buttons on the side for navigation instead of touch screen. I was able to sync it with my VDOT training calendar so it automatically has my scheduled workout loaded which makes it very easy to train with. I'm still figuring it all out, but considering the lower price, I'm pretty happy with it. My only slight complaint is that I wish the face was a little bigger, but I can still read it despite not having the greatest vision.

My first smart watch was Huawei. Then comes this. For the price I'm paying it doesn't have touch screen. Button toggling needs time to learn. Gave it up.

Perfect for monitoring my health

Good service

Bought for my brother over a year ago now and he says he has not had any problems.The battery is lasting just as long as it did when new. It does a lot of things he is not familiar with but uses the heart rate monitor and steps the most.

As expected from the Garmin, pretty good especially the battery backup, i haven't charged yet, it came out of the box with 90%, i have been walking and running and other activities like breath, HIIT(high-intensity interval training), past 4 days i have not take it off this watch from my wrist, still battery 49%. i do own apple watch series 6 Nike Edition but need to charge every day for sure and if i ran more than 6K or 7K in day, it will drain pretty soon, thats why i took this and heart rate also very good, which similar to polar heart strap. finally it's a Sport watch not completely smart watch but it has some of the smart watch features, like getting notifications but in one way you can't give reply from the watch, just you can see.
