Better than expected

I'm telling everyone how much I like this watch, I bought it for fall detection but I'm enjoying the other features - it's definitely not just to tell time.

Great entry level garmin watch

Lot to offer for beginner friendly watch that will do heart rate (wrist) and pace/distance/calories/time and notifications. The battery life might be a issue for some but I can get through a couple training days before having to charge.

Provides thorough information

I have had this for about a month. The features and information that it captures is everything that I need. When connected to the free app, you get more information. This is a great tool to beeter gage fitness and health.

Better than the Apple Watch

I received this watch as a birthday present and I love it. It is light weight and it does everything I need as a runner… especially the interval feature is my favorite.

Went back to Fitbit

I wanted it to check my pace and ordered it for Mother’s Day. It’s so hard to use. Not at all intuitive. I’m a doctor so smart enough and I can’t figure out how to use it. It shouldn’t be this hard. I should be able to slap it on and go.

Tried out a few different options: Fitbit charge 5, Garmin venu square 2, and then this. This is by far the best out of those options for running, cycling, and swimming. It's super light and small enough to still be comfortable

I love this watch! I thought it was going to be too big but it's just the right size! I use it for Mountain Biking mostly and have really enjoyed the different types of maps that are shown post work out.

Not the best tracker for my paddling workouts

Not as useful to me while paddling. Cannot take time to fiddle with buttons to find the information needed most: speed (mph), distance paddled, as were available instantaneously with my previous GARMIN FORERUNNERS 350 series.

Awful.

Instruction booklet in tiny grey print impossible to read. Downloaded & printed manual. Impossible to understand. Watch constantly beeps & vibrates whenever any notification arrives & can’t be prevented.

Good watch - issue with SWIM Workout

I bought this watch considering I like to do RUN, BIKE and SWIM, but then I realised that this watch don`t allow to send a Swim Workout to the device! so I'm surprised because old FR245 allows to do that but this new FR55 don't!
