If you’re looking for a simple no frills watch, this is it. I was looking at upgrading from my Apple Watch but didn’t want too many features just needed to map my runs. I recommend this watch for the simplicity and convenience.

구매한지 9개월정도 됫어요. 예전에45고장나서 이제 55를 쓰게 되네요. 가성비 있어서 좋아요. 하지만 고도에 대해서는 정확하진 않아요. 거리에 대해서는 정확해요. 45는 스트랩 파는곳이 별로 없어서 불편하고 중국산이 잘 부서지고 해서 싫엇어요. 55의 스트랩은 파는곳이 많아 좋아요. 튼튼해요. 하지만 예전 45보다는 기능이 축소화된거같아서 아쉽네요

I bought the Forerunner after my Vivosport 4 stopped working. I love the display on the Forerunner, easier to see as I'm working out. It also connects faster to my iPhone than the Vivosport. I've only had it for a month but so far I really like it.

I got this watch for christmas and everything is great that it has but i wish it had elivation and sleep tracking widgets. But besides that its a great watch.

The watch is comfortable to wear. I wear it daily to track my steps and for running. I am a beginner runner and I really enjoy the metrics I get from my runs. I find the battery life is pretty good too. It's a good all around watch, but it does look pretty sporty. I'd prefer a different band option such as a nylon velcro situation.

I had a week and found the screen to hard to read. I had to tilt my wrist at different angles and the display was too small for me. I bought the ForeRunner 165 and absolutely love it. The Amoled screen is great along with other features the 55 lacks.

I’ve had many Garmin watches. Got this for my special needs son to monitor his sleep, health, etc. The flashy marketing info describes sleep monitor. body battery, etc. Well that’s if you take the watch off and connect it to your computer and go to Garmin Express. Too much of a pain and hassle. So I returned this watch. Also didn’t like its not touch screen and has FIVE buttons you’ve got to learn what each does. My others have two. Overall not a fan of

I have had the Forerunner 55 for two weeks and it is finally doing everything I want it to, and has mostly stopped doing things I don't want it to. It may seem strange, but I actually like to use my running watch for running. So when I want to start running and the watch starts suggesting workouts, it really interferes with the intended function. Silly me did not realize that you actually have to SELECT the suggested workout so you can stop the suggestions. Meanwhile, I have not figured out how to stop the tips from popping up. Remind me of the old MS Windows paperclip that got in the way when you were trying to work. All of this is a critique of the software, not the watch. The watch itself is just fine. Easy to read. I was even able to get the clock face looking how I want (I chose analog). It picks up satellites quickly, easy to charge, and the battery life is very good. I have it paired with my phone and everything seems to be working how I want. I have loaded workouts onto the watch. The 55 seems to lack a few options (Cannot load a "custom" workout, and cannot opt out of final rest in an interval set - but these shortcomings are not a problem for me at all). I like the watch size and strap.

So far, the Forerunner 55 is an awesome watch to have. Pretty accurate heart rate, step counter, running, GPS, and cycling functions. I have yet to fully test the water resistance capabilities but I’d bet my bottom dollar on it. I’d recommend on buying a screen protector for it just in case; it comes in handy for people who are prone to bumping their wrist in small/tight places. Furthermore, I was cycling to a local lake to go fishing on Memorial Day and the Forerunner 55 automatically activated a cycling activity. Pretty good stuff. :)

Despite 30 minutes in open space, many soft and many hard resets, and deleting GPS.bin file and re-syncing 10 times... I GIVE UP. There is NO INDICATION of why my GPS position cannot be determined...There are NO error messages, so I cannot figure out why it will not work any more. It used to work ok.
