Awful

After an extremely tedious setup, I realized this product is for runners. ONLY. Not the fitness watch I thought I'd bought. There is no reversing options, once it thought I was "running" there was no way to reverse it. Definitely not. Going back.

Enjoyable with an awesome battery life!

This is my second one due to my band breaking in an unrepairable spot. Love both of them continue to be impressed by the great battery life they have. Highly recommend them!

Forerunner 55

Perfect size and style smart watch. Use it for tracking workouts, steps, sleep, and many other features. Great to be able to see notifications and messages even when phone isn’t around. For the price and technology it’s a great Garmin starter watch.

Not worth money

I bought this about a month ago. It doesn’t Bluetooth to my apple 16 iPhone. Have had apple try att try nothing works. Wasted money. Love garmin when it works but this was a big mistake.

Forerunner 55

I bought this a few weeks ago to replace my Forerunner 45S. I was a bit apprehensive because technology and I don't always play well together! But it is easy to navigate and it is fun to wear.

Great features but watchface needs imprv

So far I like my new garmin watch. Only 4 stars because the watch face colors and crispness are not as good as the amazafit.

SO disappointed

Sadly I had lots of issues with everything: logging my miles, clearing the data, watch faces, turning it off.-so I returned it.

Just what I needed

I bought this model a month ago. I previously owned a Garmin 735XT, which lasted about 3 years. I like the bold face, coaching suggestions, east of connecting the heartrate function to my Peloton bike, and options to change the look/feel.

Accurate Measurements

I have only had this a couple weeks but the accuracy is so much better than the app I was using on my phone. The directions are hard to understand as the control buttons are very small and hard to read the labels but overall I am very happy.

5/5

It works great and does everything that I need it to do which is time my runs and give me a pace. I would recommend. However, when I clear a notification, it glitches. But overall I love it and would buy again if needed.
