Great running watch!

This watch has everything I need to track my runs and bike rides. The sensors are really handy and easy to use. The GPS works great and syncs with my Strava. The incident detection is a handy tool but I have accidentally activated twice while riding my bike so I have to be more careful.

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.

Really simple user interface, and the metrics seem to be pretty consistent. I use it for running, biking, and hiking, and really have liked being able to keep track of distances and elevation with the UI during activities. The battery life is also a huge plus, with it going 1-2 weeks between a charge.

Beginner gps watch

Great customisable display. For a beginner runner this is a fantastic watch. Not too expensive. Has a few bells and whistles that make it a nice add on. This watch is reliable and gets the job done. For the price, you can't go wrong with this watch. One nice feature is that you can create your own workouts in the app and send them to the watch.

Excellent watch!

I bought this watch to track my runs & I have found that it works very well. I can see my progress on the watch as I'm running. The features it has tells me everything I would want to know about my run - pace,time,distance,heart rate, cadence. I'm sorry I didn't get this watch sooner.

Run with garmin 55

I bought the Garmin 55 to replace my Garmin 35. The 55 is a better watch except for the font size for the notifications. I could read the notifications on the 35 but they are too small on the 55. Come on Garmin, get on the ball and update to a larger font.

Auto scroll

It is hard for me to understand why and how a watch with so many options, Auto Scroll is excluded? It makes absolutely no sense to me, other than forcing customers to buy more expansive watch. I returned it back, as a deep dissatisfaction with such a cheap business approach. I've been a loyal customer for many years. Too bad.

Great New Features!

I needed to get a new running watch because my Garmin 45 was on its last legs, so I bought the Garmin 55. The Garmin 55 is a great base watch and has new features not present in the 45 like suggested runs and recovery time after runs. These have been very helpful for my running. There are also more activity types to load to the watch, which is super.

Comfortable and light

I got this about a week ago to to upgrade from my Fitbit that kept dying on me. I like the Fitbit app better but I like the look of this watch more. It's very light. Not sure how accurate the sleep is though. The clock faces are extremely average. I did get one that was pretty good from connect IQ. I would say this is an average sports watch. Kind of expensive for what you're getting. Maybe if I upgraded to the more expensive watch it would be a better product but I just didn't want to spend that kind of money. So I'm keeping it but I have to say I'm not thrilled with it. However that being said I do love that it's lighter I like that it's a round watch and it does keep track of the time of my activities well.

Walk features

I upgraded from the Forerunner 45 which I liked very much. I would to have more introduction on the walking features since I am not a runner. I am more of a speed walker and find the watch useful for my three plus miles, six days a week. I am trying to upload the Speed Walker activity to my options.
