Best friend

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!

Garmin four Runner 55

I bought this watch a while ago and it is perfect for me. It has a big enough screen and it has a pacing feature built into it so I can know my pace. This watch is perfect for runners for looking for a large screen watch that is compatible with their needs.

Liked it for the first week

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.

Best begginer watch on the market

Look no further as this is the only watch you need to get started for any activity. The new amoled screen is amazing and the battery life is great. It gets all of the basic needs done with activity tracking and heart rate monitoring it works great. I would definetley recommend this for any begginer looking for a watch to get started with.

My first watch that I picked up for running! Would recommend this to anyone looking to get their first Garmin. I think that it's the perfect starter watch and I had the teal color -- so pretty! I have since upgraded to a different Garmin as I wanted some more tracking features and access to more activity recording, but I remember the 55 having battery life around a week or so which was great for me!

Garmin lover

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.

Excellent!

I use this for tracking runs, walks, and bike rides. I like this watch because it is relatively small and makes it easy to track activities without the bulk of the larger, "more advanced" watches. The display is super clear and I love it's integration with my phone. If you're looking for advanced metrics like HRV or detailed sleep tracking - this isn't the device for you. But as a lightweight option when those features aren't important or as a "starter watch" to get you into the world of activity and metric tracking this is a fantastic route.

Sleep tracking innacuracy

I have found that my sleep logs inaccurately it will say I’m asleep hours before I am if I’m laying in bed on my phone and will extend my sleep until I physically get out of bed it does not realize I am awake. Throughout the day it will add random sleep time as well from minutes to hours that is not “updating to be accurate” but instead adding random time on either end of my sleep cycle. The watch will all me also that I get little to no deep sleep and nearly half and half light and rem which feels wrong but maybe is just how I sleep? I can imagine that’s right especially along with the other sleep inaccuracies. I’ve only had my watch a couple weeks and am hoping it will adjust/calibrate in time to me? The garmin watch is great for a new runner to track everything else but not sleep which I was looking forward to.

Excellent Product

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.

It’s a great watch for beginners

I love my watch as beginner/intermediate fitness enthusiast. I can track my running, walking, biking, HIIT on this. I have ditched Apple Watch since I start using this. It’s has good battery life 5-7 days. Looks amazing and is lighter than the other watches I have used before.
