I had been using a Fitbit and it had started giving me unreliable readings. When I saw the Garmin Forerunner 55 on sale I thought its time to get one. I'm very happy to be able to see my distance, time, and pace while I am running or walking.

FR55 is more than enough for my purpose as I usually do more running & the occasional bike ride . I previously used the 235 for 3-4 years before it gave up on me

I am 77 and continue to run and ride a bike. I have had this 3 weeks and am still learning the ins and outs. It has exceeded my expectations in categorizing my workouts and this device encourages me to improve as I age. Very nice.

I bought the watch because my former smart watch caused irratation. I get the watch hooked it up to bluetooth three hours later it stopped working so I returned to where I bought.

Easy to use, has everything I want without anything super complicated. Excellent battery life and a great price. Happy with my purchase and can see myself using this watch for a long time.

Good thing is, my workouts are also synced to the Health app, so I don't need to manually input the workout statistics from the watch to the Health app.

I traded in my old Forerunner 210 for the 55. What a difference. I ended up turning off all of the notification features as I go out running to forget about all that stuff for a moment. Easy setup. Great features. Quick GPS connection.

It’s alright. I was told in the store I could download music to this one, you can not. It’s not very good at tracking sleep but it does good tracking runs. You just have to carry your phone if you wanna listen to music or a podcast.

I love that the watch has all the features that I need and at a great price point. The battery life is great. I also love that I get my phone notifications on the watch. I purchased the aqua blue band, I love that it's a pop of color.

I tested forerunner 55 while half marathon 3 weeks ago. It was a great experience and watch gave me a perfect basic information what I need. Great battery life is also another feature which convinced me.
