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!

Disappointed

I bought this Garmin as a backup. Unfortunately, there are many issues with that one of them with their buttons in particular, I found them very difficult to hold down to program my runs, hikes and overall workouts. I’ve returned the watch. I’ve owned Garmin products in the past. Still think Garmin is the best product on the market when it comes to accuracy specifically with running and tracking long distance. This one did not own up to my expectations.

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.

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.

Replacing Fitbit, getting used to

I've always been a fan of Fitbit but after Google bought it and changed things, I swore I wouldn't buy another once my current one died. I tried a Garmin once and fought it every step of the way, preferring the Fitbit app and functionality. However, I bit the bullet and went Garmin again out of principal. Things have changed a lot since the last time I tried one and I like it much better this time around. I like the "Battery" charging instead of Sleep Score. This one is not a touch screen, it has buttons to click and I'm getting used to that after having a touch screen watch. The band is very feather light. Overall, I think I'm going to like this watch.

Forerunner 55 a win

I love the simplicity of this watch. It is a great price with everything you need for a great workout and tracking your performance. I pair it with my iPhone and I have the HRM 600. Not sure about the later, but the watch is well worth it. I would honestly say beginners and experts alike could drastically benefit from what this watch provides.

Love this watch!

I bought this watch as a beginner runner and I am so grateful that I did. I am currently training for my first 1/2 marathon and it has been so helpful. I just wanted a basic watch that could accurately track my running and lifting workouts. My favorite feature is that it can also track treadmill running accurately.

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.

Simple, but not perfectly accurate

I love the simplicity of the watch, i only needed a watch to track my bike rides. That was the only feature I really wanted. I have noticed that it does not accurately count my steps, and the mileage and elevation gain seem to be a little off as well.
