Sleep tracking is very bad

I bought this a few weeks back, Still testing. The watch fails to identify different stages of sleep. ofcourse the accuracy is bad in most of the watches, but Forerunner 55 does a pretty bad job for its price range.

Training is so much better

I had a fitbit which I loved but wanted to upgrade. I decided to get the forerunner and I'm so happy I did! I love the garmin training that I can access right on the watch, it's easy to use and I'm excited to improve my running following the plan.

Great watch for the money

Been using this for cross country and it's perfect. Even being one of the cheapest Garmin watches, it still is great. I like how you can download extra apps from garmin iq.

Forerunner 55

I purchased the Garmin Forerunner 55 last month and am pleased with the results thus far. This is the third Garmin I have purchased for running and I am happy that I upgraded to this model.

Went back to Fitbit

I wanted it to check my pace and ordered it for Mother’s Day. It’s so hard to use. Not at all intuitive. I’m a doctor so smart enough and I can’t figure out how to use it. It shouldn’t be this hard. I should be able to slap it on and go.

not the best choice

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.

Horrible visibility

Got as Christmas gift. Favorite gift became least favorite after more than an hour of adjusting visibility. Even on 100 percent bright this watch has a blurry and pixelated hard to view screen.

Overly Complex

It has all the features, but it seems that the various buttons and choices make using it for simple things more difficult and therefore less attractive.

light weight, quick GPS, quick sync

the 55 is very light an low profile which is very nice. It gains the GPS signal very fast and syncs almost instantly when it connects to my phone. Too many extra features for me.
