Forerunner 55

Was ok now after several years its a piece of crap!!! Goes Black during use, I have had Forerunners since original “Dick Tracy” GPS. Seems like a planned obsolesence!

Love my Garmin!

I was a Fitbit user forever. I got tired of how inaccurate it was. Didn't track miles or times correctly. Tried Garmin and I love it. I will never go back.

Awful

Needs to be recharged every night. Will not pair/sync with my iPhone. Just a watch. I can’t get messages, track, my running, count the steps. Figure out how fast I’m running… It’s basically just a watch.

I love this watch

It does give so many updated details about my day and I learn so much about myself. However some things it takes forever to load like my sleep, and my workouts.

Great for beginner

I bought this a little over a month ago and it is a great watch. I am a beginner and wanted it to compliment the new diet and exercise regime I have started. It would great on the program I am on.

Garmin

I like it but, I think the perfect tracker would have and ankle strap to go with it, so when you are carrying something it will continue to calculate.

Sturdy

It started poring down rain on me a week ago and it worked great in the rain. Usually when my fitbit would get wet it would stop working but the Garmin worked great and didn't have an issue at all.

So far I love it!

My forerunner 35 broke at the band so I had to upgrade. I love that I can adjust the face to show everything I used to have to toggle to…steps, heart rate, miles, and I still get texts and weather updates.

Awesome waech!

I received this from my sister to replace the Garmin 35 that I was using prior to this one, I love it and it's much easier to use. I would highly recommend this model to anyone.
