Great Features but very difficult to read

I bought this to replace my Fitbit and I am very happy with this watch except for one thing. It is very hard to see the watch face in dim situations or in a car. The light is poor quality.

Lightweight and easy to operate

Got the Forerunner 55 as a Xmas gift. Apart from all the cool sport settings, I really enjoy the fact that it is so lightweight, I do not feel it. Awesome. I took it skin diving last week and bought to play Squash. Highly recommended.

Amazing Watch

I Got this watch as a Christmas gift from some family and I'm glad I did! It was a little confusing to work in the beginning but I's amazing now! I have dropped so much time off of my PR.

late to connect to satellite

Sometimes it takes a long time to connect to the satellite when I am in the forest in an open area (about 5 minutes) and when I go to walk or run in my trademll it is worse, that is why I give it three stars but overall it is fine

We are sorry to hear that you are having issues with the GPS reception, usually this is caused by the satellite data needing to be updated on the device. That can be done by syncing the device with your smart phone and the Garmin Connect app or with Garmin Express on your computer. If you need further assistance you can also reach out to our team for further assistance as well.

Great running watch

I traded in my old Forerunner 210 for the 55. What a difference. I ended up turning off all of the notification features as I go out running to forget about all that stuff for a moment. Easy setup. Great features. Quick GPS connection.

The 55 serves my needs

FR55 is more than enough for my purpose as I usually do more running & the occasional bike ride . I previously used the 235 for 3-4 years before it gave up on me

Much better than my apple watch

I’ve had it for a few weeks and I really like how it suggests a workout for you. I also like that it will let you know if you are ahead or behind in making your time.

Difficult to read

I miss my Forerunner 35! It’s difficult to change the watch settings and see my heart rate and intensity minutes. This is not a device for the visually impaired!

Go for the Burn

The Forerunner is helping me to measure and mange the burn for optimum impact at age 80. I swim laps, walk, do strength workouts and yoga. I get great metrics to work with and adjust my programs. It also pairs with my Polar heart monitor.
