I’m sure it’ll be much better!

The jury is still out. Making some progress, but for some reason, it’s not tracking steps or my sleep among other other things. The fact that there is no support on the weekends is pathetic. I will it was quite easy to get a live human of the line for a previous Support incident hunt. He is quite helpful, spoke with without a heavy accent, high-pitched voice and fully understood English but I felt he was under pressure to keep the call to a specified amount of time.

Loved Garmin, not the model for me

I bought this and ended up wearing it in conjunction with my Apple watch for about a week. I ended up falling in love with Garmin, but the watch itself did not feature enough “smart” features for me to want to sacrifice my Apple Watch. I ended up returning and ordering the Venu which has been the best of both worlds! I’m a Garmin convert but this wasn’t the model for me

Just what I needed

I have been a Fitbit customer for over 10 years but needed a replacement and decided on this watch. I am not a runner but enjoy tracking my walks and other activities. This watch is easy to use, has a great battery life and is comfortable to wear. Who knows I may even take up running! Great features and excellent quality!

My first GPS watch!

Have run and biked my whole life, but fought jumping into the 21st-century technology until now. This one is very simple to Lodge runs and rides as well as other activities. Love being able to look back on all the stats it gives. And I’m excited to streamline my training for improved performances!

Amazing watch. Would pick over anything.

Hello, I would just like to say that you wanna watch is one of the best watches I’ve ever tried out and I have tried several different brands and it helps me keep track of all the stats that I keep track of for my running channel on TikTok. I would just like to thank you for a simple and elegant watch that does everything I needed to do.

Perfect for what I need

Garmin is awesome. I Had forerunner 55 for running that had software and battery issues after a few years and Garmin support was helpful in recognizing that so I was sent a refurbished replacement which had more features than my original one! Love the run workout suggestions so far.

Nice watch, but...

I bought the Garmin Forerunner 55 about 7 months ago. Overall, I like this watch, as it is my third Garmin watch. But, one problem had been charging it. At about 5 months I had a few problems getting it to charge, as well as to sync with Garmin Express. At 7 months it has become very hard to charge and sync. My previous watch, the 45, took 2.5 years to have this problem.

New data horizons!

This is my first Garmin watch ever and I am 38 years old. I love to run distance and will test it out for the first time at the Twin Cites Marathon next week. I do like how simple it is, yet I do not have a smart phone and wish it would pair with my laptop like it would with a phone. I also wish that it would be more independent from having to sync. All in all, it is a great watch and helps with training.

Simple & Easy to use!

I bought this for my cross country & track team a couple months ago and oh boy I am glad I did! Very easy to use and very simple! The reason I took away a star is because on the track doing my running a workout. It would come out to 810 meters or 1620 meters even though I only ran 800m and 1600m. Not exactly accurate on the track but other than that it is 100% amazing

Love the battery life

Just stepped up from Forerunner 45 and I like the battery life on the 55 much better w/o the extra features the watch has being too complicated for my lack of patience. After first charge I went 13 days wearing it 24/7 and using it to track my runs, and it still had 18% battery life. Love this watch
