I bought this watch as a motivator to get back into running after many years of falling out of love with the sport/exercise, and it has changed everything for me. I am happily running again, more than ever, and it was changed around my dieting habits and exercise habits. My body is back to feeling better, stronger, and healthier. I couldn't recommend a product more. This watch was perfect for me, and if this one is not for you, there is Garmin product that probably would suite your needs better.

Where as the app was not as intuitive as my Fitbit was (I used Fitbit for roughly 10 years), now that I have had this tracker for a few months I would highly recommend it. I chose this one to mainly track walks, rucks, and workouts (maybe running if I get that far) and I would say that so far one of my favorite features is the stress detector and the body battery to help track energy and personal stressors. I also really like that it is NOT a touch screen! I actually appreciate the buttons to move through the options and data. Now that I'm used to how the app is set up, I would say that I like it a lot better than my previous Fitbit trackers and the Fitbit app.

I bought this a month ago as a replacement for my previous running watch. I run Cross Country, and I compared my watch with other higher-end watches. I was delighted to find that it was extremely accurate and easy to use. I would recommend this watch to anyone wanting a simple, easy to use running watch that doesn't bust the bank, and yet is still very accurate. I am super happy with my purchase!

Functional, easy to use, and has what I need! I use for workouts, to track my steps, check the weather throughout the day, my sleep, heart rate and compete with my husband. It could use a weightlifting/strength option, great for beginners to the fitness industry.

It worked really well for the first week I had it. Now I'm having heart rate and calorie burn ratio inaccurate for a couple weeks wasting chunks of time and leading to overexercise to get stats. Can't seem to fix it. Still having to wear a Fitbit on other wrist for back up. Missing the amoled display. I can barely see the screen on this unless I put bright ness on 100. Kinda mad at it cuz I was hoping it would solve the heart rate issues I've had with my other Garmin watches. They all seem to think that while jumping around like and idiot and despite the fact that I take medicine for ADHD my heart rate is 42. Um nooooo.

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. :)

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.

This watch was my best friend for 2 years!! It traveled to Disney World, the beach, and many other places. It was so supportive through all my journeys! Sadly, I had to upgrade . My garmin and I had an electric injury that compromised both our systems. My garmin is still on display, but now I have a new friend. The garmin 165! We begin our first adventure to Disney in November!

I am 78 years old. I have been using the Forerunner 55 for 4 years. When I get up each morning, I want to see my sleep metrics and my body battery first. This information helps me decide what I can reasonably accomplish that day. I love this thing. Ron

My Forerunner 35 broke and I was told this was similar watch. I don't need alot of features, but the first problem was no matter how bright I made the watch face to read it was not bright enough. The 5 buttons were to much for me. I am a huge Garmin fan and will try another watch in the future.
