I bought this watch ~6 months ago to track running workouts. The data it provides keeps me motivated and informed in ways I did not expect. Now I can't imagine NOT wearing a watch that monitors heart rate, stress levels, sleep, and tracks exercises. I plan on upgrading to a watch that has navigation features for wilderness hikes in the next 12 months. This was a great place to start.

Bought 2 weeks ago. Doesn’t automatically connect to Bluetooth. Have to manually reconnect at least twice a day like it’s brand new out of the box. The time is always wrong and has to be manually set. The charge lasts less than 24 hours. I reached out to Garmin support twice. First time was fine. Second time when I asked for a replacement or upgrade, they told me to take it back to the retailer. I’m doing that today and considering something other than a Garmin. I’ve been with Garmin for over 5 years.

I still haven’t mastered all the tricks to this device, but I do like the parts I use daily: total steps, GPS, distance, pace, HR and max VO2. I should download the booklet in PDF format- the print is too small for these old eyes. One small “complaint “ though; it sometimes takes a long while for the GPS to sync.

I got this watch a few weeks ago and it works for what I need it to do. The layout of the watch is easy to learn, I appreciate the battery life, and love having the buttons to navigate the screen. I got the watch to count steps, keep record of my walks and occasional runs. The watch has a GPS to track with accuracy. Highly recommend if your looking for a watch that doesn't break the budget.

I really like my Forerunner however,,,,, I really miss my fit bit one as even thought it was the first one to come out it would monitor my stairs climbed. I cannot even find one on the wed site. seems strange that other models have this feature but the forerunner 55 does not. Also just got the new update for my home page and I hate it before I knew just where to go to monitor the info I was looning for =, Hate the graphs.

I love this watch. The features it has are amazing. Perfect for running-workouts, daily runs, etc.. The battery life is amazing. I had an Apple Watch previously and there is a vast difference. My only complaint is that messages or phone calls are not answerable on the watch. I am so happy I got 2 as well because I an alternate them and distribute the wear.

The Forerunner 55 is as basic as is gets. You have to go through tons of watch faces via the app, with few free available, to find one to see anything in addition to the time. To get to any of the additional benefits of having a smartwatch, you have to press 1 of 5 buttons on the side of the watch several times to scroll a menu, select, and exit, etc. Not only it this taxing, for anyone with arthritis, tactile, or motor function issues, is this majorly painful, it’s also extremely uncomfortable to sleep with it on. Thus, I just wear it during the day, look at whatever few stats are constantly on the face, and don’t take advantage of any other feature. It’s a shame, because Garmin has some great programs and options available, however, there are so few ADA devices at an affordable price point.

I wanted to upgrade my Garmin 45s to a better running performance watch. I purchased the Garmin 55 and lets just say it was way to big for my tiny slim wrists. Not only was the watch band to big but the watch itself was to big. I couldn't make the band any tighter to keep the screen in place but it was to tight. I ended up returning the watch. I am still looking for a watch to upgrade my Garmin 45s. I want to take my running to the next level.

This watch is my motivation. I used Polar watches for some time. I like the app and the information the watch provides. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars is because the feature of the Body Battery never worked for this watch. Everything else is great

I bought this watch almost a month ago and I absolutely love it. The price point is great for all of the features it comes with and it works fantastic to keep track of my milage and long runs as a high school distance track runner. I absolutely love the fun teal color and I couldn't be happier with this product. The battery life is great as well!
