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.

Enjoying my watch so far

I wish the watch was easier to read when running…. Especially in low light hours. I also wish I didn’t have to punch a button to make the face light up to check the time.

We are happy to hear that you are enjoying the device. Is it possible to change the backlight setting so that the light comes on when you raise your arm.

Excellent overall watch

This is my second Garmin and am really learning to love the 55. I watched a video on line for features and “how to” and that made it super easy to use!

Great features!

I had it for a few weeks; replaced my Forerunner 35. Still getting use to it. Difficult to read since font is so small. Watch band seems to be an improvement from the 35 version — time will tell.

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

Terrible Instrcutions

I want to use the most basic functions everyday, but the instructions go off on tangents. The watch works great but what about simple lets get started instructions. I don't want to link to my iphone, I want speed, distance and time

Works better than my last Forerunner 55

I have experienced less problems by not linking it to my phone. It still takes time to start but it is less than my last Forerunner 55 which was impossible.
