The Forerunner just keeps getting better

Having owned the Forerunner 35, 45 and now the 55, these watches just keep getting better and better. With the 55, widgets make finding the data that I want to see much easier and the battery life is much improved. keep up the god work Garmin.

Nice watch! Wish it were touchscreen :/

I bought this about a month ago, I was only disappointed in the fact that it was not a touchscreen. The watch and app were also a bit difficult to navigate. I ended up returning it and getting a watch that is touchscreen (COROS)

Battery life sucks!

This is my second one from them. I had them replace the first one because it would die after 2 days and it’s suppose to last 2 weeks and this 2nd watch I got from them dies after 2 days too.

Awesome!!!

My kids each won a garmin watch at a running expo event and were super stoked. Now having one, it has gotten them more active in running and biking. They love the sleep widget! Can’t go wrong with Garmin!!!

not the best choice

I bought the watch because my former smart watch caused irratation. I get the watch hooked it up to bluetooth three hours later it stopped working so I returned to where I bought.

There are many factors as to why the heart rate is not reading properly. Please go to support.garmin.com where you'll find many helpful FAQ's and video's on the functions of the device. If you still need assistance, you can reach out directly to a product support associate from that link.

Challenging to operate

Looks good but very difficult to operate. The buttons are not in logical locations and each has multiple functions that are challenging to operate. I liked my Forerunner 35 much better. Maybe in time I'll work out the kinks but for now, not a fan.

Watch impossible to use

I am going to have to return this. The instructions in the manual on line are terrible and I cannot get anything I want to see come up on the watch. It is way too complicated and the functions do not come up the way it says in the instructions.

Great entry level watch with incredible battery life. The body battery tracker is a great feature. Will most likely move to a higher level watch with a touch screen and additional features due to the positive experience with this one.

Awesome features

I.moved up from a forerunner 30 to a forerunner 55. I am very pleased with the numerous features of the 55, including the stress feature and updated sleep that includes respiration and breaths per minute
