Screen is SO DARK that it is unreadable, unusable. The layout of the info on the screen is in a SQUARE format and the corners are cut off because the face is ROUND. Hmmm... Checking internet reviews, information - looks like this is just how this device is. SUPPOSEDLY it may be readable in EXTREMELY BRIGHT SUNLIGHT OUTSIDE. Impossible to even set it up.

I enjoyed the lightweight and comfort on the Forerunner. The display and buttons make it easy to navigate. The accuracy seems spot on and love how it links with my apps. Battery life great and never have to worry about a low charge. If you are serious about your fitness you can't go wrong with the Forerunner and the data it can provide you.

I had a Forerunner back in high school to track my runs for XC and track. The GPS took forever and the battery life was trash. This new Forerunner is phenomenal. The GPS is quick to start runs. It tracks your steps and heart rate. It even tells you how much stress you had throughout the day. Its a must have smart watch for runners!

Seems like a good watch but..... I need better instructions to be able to use it properly. The info supplied with the watch is not detailed enough for this 83 year old engineer. Perhaps the only way to proceed is keep learning but I would really appreciate any additional help.

I purchased this, used it for a month, an than purchased the Fenix 7s. This is a great product, but it seems that it somewhat arbitrarily limits itself to push users to purchases more expensive watches. The number one thing I wanted was to be able to create custom workouts, than listen to music on my phone and have the app (through the watch) tell me what to do. But, this watch for some reason cannot do that. Also, I wish i could distinguish between road biking and mountain biking. Again, this seems silly to me that the option isn't there, because it I'd think that is just a software question, the watch is clear capable. And lastly, when I used it for swimming, it was highly inaccurate. With all that said, I loved it's size. I loved its heart tracking, sleep tracking, simple running features, etc.

The Forerunner 55 is my first running watch. I purchased with the intentions of more accurate tracking of my training and to use during my first marathon. I am not too well versed with the bells and whistles on the more expensive watches, but if you are looking for something that can provide you with accurate data and analytics regarding your runs, I strongly recommend. Easy to use, straight to the point, excellent watch.

I received this as a gift and it works well but I was disappointed that there is no strength option. Even runners lift weights. This seems to be a common complaint about this watch which makes me wonder why this issue hasn’t been fixed. I also had to carry the user manual around with me for a week to figure out which of the 5 buttons did what…once I figured everything out it works fine but I wish it was simpler to navigate.

I received this when my Forerunner 935 broke. I was very disappointed as the pixelation was terrible, it had significantly fewer "bells and whistles", the buttons were hard to press, and I was just really underwhelmed. My forerunner 935 was WAY better.

Great GPS/heart rate monitor, worked fine for approx two years but now battery doesn’t hold a charge. Battery will be sat at anything between 65-75% charged and within mintuee and flat and turns itself off. Unusable. Expected a longer life span to be honest. Won’t buy Garmin again

I was hoping to replace my forerunner 35. But Garmin, like running shoe companies, discontinued my favorite model. This watch was over loaded w/ features for my needs. Didn’t need menstrual cycle, text messages, weather, music, health info, etc. All I want is my mileage, pace, pacing and time. TMI Some of us don’t want a kazillion features.
