Keeps freezing
on December 11, 2025
Posted by: Timmy87
I loved this watch when I bought it and wore it all the time! Tracked my runs and workouts great! Then it started to freeze up on me. It was once a week then it became once a day. Very frustrating when it would happen on a run and I would lose my progress. Then it would just shut down. I had to just call it quits and put on the shelf. These devices are too expensive to just malfunction and sit on the shelf, so I’m nervous to purchase another one now.

The perfect all a rounder!

I’ve owned the solar 955 for about 3 years now. Love this thing. It tracks all my activities(hiking, running, snowboarding, etc.). It’s subtle and classic enough for work. Comfortable enough to sleep in.
Battery life is exceptional. I travel for work and can be on the road for as long as 10 days straight. As long as I remember to charge it before I leave, there’s plenty of juice to not have to worry about bringing a charging cable.

Can’t say enough good things!

I actually upgraded from my 955 to the 955 solar just this january 2026. I've beenusing Garmin for over 15years. The ease of use, connection to the app and other software to track my training as well as my athletes is why I use and recommend Garmin over any other brand.
