Solid no thrills

This watch is great for those wanting to track their fitness without all the bells and whistles that are on other models. I love the battery life compared to my Apple Watch that wouldn't last a day by itself and even less when using the gps tracking.

Love this watch!

This watch has everything I need and is easy to use! I love that it gives me so much data and pairs with garmin connect. It would be nice to have a few more activity options, but it does have an other option so it's usually not a problem. Nice, light, easy to use, and at a good price point!

Worth 200

Works like a chum cant feel it while running easy to see time while running pace pro strats works good suggested workouts are low key dog (if that’s a feature you don’t care about buy the 45) tracks like a beast mileage on point no miscalculation shows pace splits easy takes a like 5% battery after using gps for 90min buy it if fw pacepro stats or else get 45 it’s just as good no music on this one tho

Forerunner 55

I bought this product a few months ago to use for marathon running and interval training. I am happy with the product, but I will tell you it takes awhile to get used to. The interval option takes a few steps to get to for programming. It frequently continues the "discarding" circuit until the watch is actually shut off and restarted. The charge easily lasts for 72 hours. Overall, well worth it.

Amazing Watch for a reasonable price

Still getting to know all of it's features. Love all of the data I get for my runs. GPS is very accurate. It under estimates distances, but by an insignificant amount. It more than meets my needs for tracking running, biking and walking. I highly recommend this watch.

Allergic to watch face

Unfortunately I got a nasty blister to the back of the watch face & cannot wear the watch. I wish that companies would use hypoallergenic materials so that everyone can wear them. I’m also allergic to the Apple Watch too, and for both it isn’t the strap it’s the back of the face is where I get a giant red circular skin rash. And it isn’t from sweat because I clean with soap & water every day

Lots of Function … Too much?

I bought the Forerunner 55 to replace my 15 which finally wore out. The 15 was Start, Stop , Save with time and distance. That’s all I wanted. I still haven’t figured out how to accomplish that simple task with the 55. I stood out in the freezing cold the other day trying to get it to start. There were lots of confusing screens that got in the way. Finally, I just said oh well and started running without tracking. I suspect this is more my problem than the watch’s problem. I own several Garmin products from run, bike, and marine and all are top notch.

Great for marathon training

I bought this about a month ago. I've been using it for all my training runs for the Chicago Marathon. It allows me to track everything and posts immediately to Strava once I linked it. Overall would recommend especially as an inexpensive entry level running watch.

Female coaches needed

Women are over 51% of US population and fastest growing running segment. Time for Garmin to offer 2 female virtual coaches along with the 2 outstanding male coaches. You are halfway there in representation. This is an achievable goal. The women are watching!!

Perfect, basic gps running watch

This is my second Garmin running watch and, so far, I love it! The battery seems to last a for several runs and it has the features I need to track my runs. I only use it for running because it does not have a basic workout tracker and I don't want to keep messing with a watch in the middle of a strength training workout to record reps and other data. I would recommend this watch for runners who need a basic gps watch. This one does not have the crazy battery and update issues my Vivoactive 3 had. I never knew when I turned it one whether it would be at 0% or 99%, or if it would spend 10 minutes updating and running the battery down. I hope this one keeps working as great as it has so far!
