Overall Excellent

I have been using this for almost 3 weeks. I enjoy almost every aspect of the watch. I really like the sleep tracking feature. It's so cool to know how REM or deep sleeve or light sweep or how many times I woke up. I think everything's pretty accurate, The more I use it the better it becomes.

Great product

This was a Christmas gift to me from my parents, and I love the watch. This is also due to the fact that my old one did not work well. I really like how easy it is to start an activity, but for some reasons it’s having trouble uploading my activities to my running app. Great product

Great to start with but didn’t last….

Great GPS/heart rate monitor, worked fine for approx two years but now battery doesn’t hold a charge. Battery will be sat at anything between 65-75% charged and within mintuee and flat and turns itself off. Unusable. Expected a longer life span to be honest. Won’t buy Garmin again

Clunky and awkward navigation

I bought the forerunner 55 to replace my Fitbit versa to get compatibility with a phone app. I found another similar app that works with my versa2. My short time using the forerunner 55 convinced me to avoid watches with button navigation. In the future I’ll only use watches with touchscreen navigation.

A glorified Casio watch

I received this when my Forerunner 935 broke. I was very disappointed as the pixelation was terrible, it had significantly fewer "bells and whistles", the buttons were hard to press, and I was just really underwhelmed. My forerunner 935 was WAY better.

issues

had my 55 for over a month now and it was a upgrade from the 45. I replaced the 45 because the strap connection point broke and the 55 had a normal strap point. Now unlike the 45, my 55 at times will lock up when it receives a email alert. This has happened three times and when it does, the 55 is unusable. Not sure why this happens, but I drop back to my 45 (super glue is great) and wait for the 55 to unlock itself. Very disappointing.

Great Running Watch

I've had the watch for about three weeks now and I am loving it. I was looking for a basic running watch and this is perfect for my needs. Having used smart watches in the past this lacks in features and screen quality but that wasn't what i was focused on. Great battery life, good bright display while running, customizable screen layouts and access to suggested runs and coaching plans. Good value for money.

Back to Garmin world

After years of using Garmin (I go back to the Forerunner 205) I switched to a Coros from my Fenix 3 two years ago. I appreciated that units great battery life and small and light form. It was nice to be able to button the left cuff of my dress shirts something that was impossible with the bulk of the Fenix! I chose to return to Garmin because it's software plays better with the reporting I need. I chose to F55 because it was most like my Coros in terms of footprint. The F55 has all the features I need and the battery life is good enough now that I am retired from ultras.

This watch does everything I want it to do and nothing I don't. I wanted a running watch that I could use for cycling, intervals, agility workouts, and of course, daily steps. It takes a little time and a bit of experimenting to configure the screens to your preferred data, but the watch is really very easy to use once you've got those set.

Perfect watch for my activities!

I bought one of the Forerunner 55 watches for me and one for my girlfriend. It's great for keeping up for our activities as we work on burning more calories. I also love that she and I can keep up with each other through the Garmin Connect App and challenge each other in different competitions for the most steps and other activities. I don't like that she's way ahead of me in steps for the month. The only feature not available on this watch that we wish it had is tracking how many flights of stairs we walk in a day, a feature found on other Garmin watches.
