I bought this with running in mind and it did not disappoint. I appreciate the long battery life to make charging less of a hassle. I also like that I only need to press a couple buttons to start and finish run. The heartbeat, VO2 max information, and GPS mapping is useful for me.

I love it for the step count and tracking my workouts! I have noticed the heart rate can be a little erratic at times. For example when I'm walking it will be reading really low. I also have noticed for sleep it records almost no REM sleep. Overall though it is great! It helps me stay motivated and push myself more to stay healthy.

I have been running for 45 years. I couldn't imagine I would ever be more dedicated and motivated, but I was wrong. Since wearing my Garmin my running has been gone through the roof. I have 715 running activities for 7811.1 miles. Now I can't imagine running without it.

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.

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.

I got the 45 several years ago and when that one gave out I switched right over to the equivalent 55. It integrates seamlessly into my life with easy notifications, music controls, and of course, tracking diverse activities, all for a very reasonable price. They should start calling it the forerunner 67.

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.

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.

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.

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
