I bought this to replace my 45 forerunner. I run up to 30 miles a week, and these base models provide everything I could need or want. I'm not a competitive runner, but an athlete as a lifestyle. What sets this 55 forerunner apart is its long-lasting battery: two whole weeks, as opposed to its predecessor's mere few days. If you don't need all the fancy bells and whistles of the significantly more expensive models, most of whose own batteries won't last this long, then I highly recommend this model. Get the acqua color!

Program needs to complete rewrite. From my laptop or my phone, either one, not necessarily both, in an outline format, I should be able to see all the primary, secondary, tertiary screens ending with a series of screens for to record the activities/results. I should be easily able to select out and turn off both the primary and the second etc. facilities that I don't wanna see or use or have to deal with. Obviously, the buttons would have to be organized in such a man who has to deal with this approach. One I'm not interested in most of those things and two I don't want to take the time to learn how to use them. I want just the basics. Fitness doesn't have to be the complicated and like every other program 98% of the universe are smart use by 20% of the Software capability We just no reason why it has to be so difficult to use the device. This is about my fifth Garmin forerunner-device and my second in just the last month however, referring to the first one because it was just ridiculously complicated. I figured cheaper models would have lost confusion installed. The instruction that I saw that came with this device were essentially nonexistent I have used an Apple Watch an older model that has to be recharged every day which I simply won't tolerate which is the reason continue to use Garmin, for the time being.

Great watch and it keeps on getting better once you get used to the button control sequences. Make sure you get the App to go along with it.

So far so good. I bought this to replace my Apple Watch series 10 and so far like the Garmin much better!

To a degree I am okay with it. It has no touch screen like my old Garmin, but it does track my steps.

I bought this about a month ago. It doesn’t Bluetooth to my apple 16 iPhone. Have had apple try att try nothing works. Wasted money. Love garmin when it works but this was a big mistake.

Perfect size and style smart watch. Use it for tracking workouts, steps, sleep, and many other features. Great to be able to see notifications and messages even when phone isn’t around. For the price and technology it’s a great Garmin starter watch.

I own the newest Apple Watch, have had Fitbit and some other knock off fitness watches and they do not compare to this one. The battery life is INSANE… I charge it once every 14-16 days. For that it surpasses any other watch I have owned.

This is my second one due to my band breaking in an unrepairable spot. Love both of them continue to be impressed by the great battery life they have. Highly recommend them!

After an extremely tedious setup, I realized this product is for runners. ONLY. Not the fitness watch I thought I'd bought. There is no reversing options, once it thought I was "running" there was no way to reverse it. Definitely not. Going back.
