The first fitness watch I bought was JUNK! The Garmin was about $**** more but I trust the brand. My son has a much more expensive one and he likes it.

This watch is amazing and it has everything I wanted, needed and more. The display is amazing and every get I get out of bed exited for another day of running.

My husband really likes this and feels it is perfect for workouts, step counting, heart rate, and other body vitals - all without the extras of a Smart watch and without the extra price. This Garmin does everything needed.

My teenage son upgraded his Garmin Forerunner 55 watch with one that has more triathlon features and asked me if I wanted his old 55. I told him I’m not a runner, but he said you can track more than running. So, I’ve been wearing it for almost four weeks and LOVE it! It tracks my time on the elliptical, walking, weights, etc, heart rate, steps, stress, etc. It even has routines for stretching, dumbbells, and yoga. This is not just for the young!

Decent watch. Definitely feels like a downgrade from my instinct solar 2. I hope this one lasts longer. I had to replace my instinct solar 2 and couldn’t justify paying the price every two years. I miss my old watch but this does a lot of basic functions. It has a solid battery life and tracks workouts pretty solid. It feels well made and hasn’t broken on me yet. I don’t think I’d buy it again but that’s mostly a garmin issue.

I actually prefer my old Forerunner, which seemed much ssimpler. Perhaps if Garmin supplied initial instructions that were written in non-geek speak, I'd have caught on to this one more quickly. Eventually I did find the controls for the only 2 things I need -- the time, and how many steps I have in the bank. But this watch (and for all I know, all of them)has so many combinations and permutations: if you start pressing the buttons you can get hopelessly lost and there doesn't seem to be any one button that will take you back to "home" or the like, where you can start over.Mywatch came with an odd version of the time, but I managed to customize the face to a more ordinary digital print.

Very disappointed. This was given to me as Christmas present. It counts steps when it wants to - no where close to reality. Instructions are poorly written. No information regarding what to do if you have a problem. It does keep time and that is about it.

This is a great watch for someone that is new to running and like to keep things simple. One of the main reasons I pick this one is how simple it is with out a ton of apps I don’t want this watch allowed me to focus on my goals that’s most important to me. And with the app it works so well together. Also love that I can go over a week without having to charge it makes things so much easier. If you are one that cares a ton about health and performance and doesn’t want a ton of unnecessary apps like other watches give you this is the one for you.
