EVERYTHING YOU NEED

I just started triathlon training and I can't imagine a better tool to start this journey. everything I need for all disciplines - I love it in white it's very feminine looking and fits well. If you're on the fence about it - jump on over and get it! I love it!

Comfortable and light

I got this about a week ago to to upgrade from my Fitbit that kept dying on me. I like the Fitbit app better but I like the look of this watch more. It's very light. Not sure how accurate the sleep is though. The clock faces are extremely average. I did get one that was pretty good from connect IQ. I would say this is an average sports watch. Kind of expensive for what you're getting. Maybe if I upgraded to the more expensive watch it would be a better product but I just didn't want to spend that kind of money. So I'm keeping it but I have to say I'm not thrilled with it. However that being said I do love that it's lighter I like that it's a round watch and it does keep track of the time of my activities well.

Amazing for high school track!

I bought this watch almost a month ago and I absolutely love it. The price point is great for all of the features it comes with and it works fantastic to keep track of my milage and long runs as a high school distance track runner. I absolutely love the fun teal color and I couldn't be happier with this product. The battery life is great as well!

LOVE IT!

After doing a lot of research on a high-quality watch that would meet my needs both now and for years to come, I purchased the Garmin Forerunner 55. I previously used the Xiaomi Mi Fit 5, which worked fine but was nothing in comparison to this. I don't think I've ever been happier with a purchase in my life! I love that the watch uses all buttons instead of a touch screen, as the touchscreen on my old watch would never recognize or obey my sweaty runner fingers! The watch is super intuitive and can do pretty much anything you can imagine. I downloaded the Garmin IQ app so I could get additional applications and watch faces. The layout of the watch is pretty simple and straightforward. I did read some reviews before purchasing it complaining that the watch seemed much too big and gets caught on things, but I have not noticed any of these issues and often forget I'm wearing it! Important to note is the fact that this watch is geared towards running/cardio/biking type things. I do lift about twice a week and the workout settings for strength training are not as nice as the ones for running. Also, this watch does have a LiveTrack feature, so you can set it up that certain contacts in you phone can track you. However, you MUST have your phone with you for LiveTrack to work. This watch is equipped with incident detection, as well as a GPS. I love looking back after my runs and viewing the exact route I ran. Overall, this is a fabulous watch that I would most certainly buy again!

Walk features

I upgraded from the Forerunner 45 which I liked very much. I would to have more introduction on the walking features since I am not a runner. I am more of a speed walker and find the watch useful for my three plus miles, six days a week. I am trying to upload the Speed Walker activity to my options.

First Fitness Watch

I bought this watch ~6 months ago to track running workouts. The data it provides keeps me motivated and informed in ways I did not expect. Now I can't imagine NOT wearing a watch that monitors heart rate, stress levels, sleep, and tracks exercises. I plan on upgrading to a watch that has navigation features for wilderness hikes in the next 12 months. This was a great place to start.

Love the advanced features

My favorite new feature is the deep breathing meditation and the ability to see more notifications on my watch screen at once. I also really enjoy the longer battery life. And I love that the watch can tell when I am overly stressed and will tell me to sit and breath for a few minutes.

The 55
5 out of 5 stars review

Simple and accurate

I bought the 55 last month to replace another smart watch that had a very short battery life and have been really happy with the forerunner. I was looking for a watch that tracked workouts accurately, lasts for over a week between charges, and has metrics. This checked all the boxes for me and was better for me than a more advanced smart watch.

Wish I got this months ago

I was advised to get a fitness tracker for taking walks 2x per day that kept my heartrate between 110 and 120bpm. I tried several cheaper watches that all seemed to have issues of one kind or another. Out of the box, this watch has a learning curve, but I was able to program it to suit me and it is the most reliable watch I've tried. I had to play around with face displays to find what was readable. Once I found that, everything else has been great. I'm dealing with contrast problems for reading so I'm sure most people can find a face display they are happy with easier than me. If I take my phone with me when using the app, it gives me audible updates so I don't have to keep looking at the watch. This is helpful when walking outside in temperatures that require bundling up. Overall, this is the perfect watch for what I do. There are lots of exercise modes available so you're not stuck with only an outdoor walking mode.
