Love this Watch

At 1st I wasn't to sure because I was like it's to much of regular watch, but I fell in love with it because of all the stats it gives and all the watch face options.

Still learning

Comparing to my Fitbit. Garmin says I sleep more and step less. Still developing a feel for Stress and respiration. Seems my best days are stressful. No clue how to use respiration data.

Not sure if I made the right choice.

I ordered the 55 and should have stayed with the 35. I am still struggling to use the 55 properly. The 35 was so easy to use. This has been an up hill battle for me.

OK product, but a bit disappointed

This product has worked well for most of my runs, bike rides and pool swims, but I'm a bit disappointed that it can't seem to track my open water swims and has difficulty (likely inability) to connect with my smart bike trainer.

Horrible visibility

Got as Christmas gift. Favorite gift became least favorite after more than an hour of adjusting visibility. Even on 100 percent bright this watch has a blurry and pixelated hard to view screen.

Best running watch at this price point

I bought it about a month ago, high quality watch great feeling buttons. Pretty much every feature you could ask for. GPS is waaaaay more accurate then my phones.

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

Great inexpensive GPS watch

This does everything I want it to at a great price. I basically wanted it for walking and bicycling and this works to perfection. I also like that it is very light.

Ok.

It’s alright. I was told in the store I could download music to this one, you can not. It’s not very good at tracking sleep but it does good tracking runs. You just have to carry your phone if you wanna listen to music or a podcast.
