This. Is. Awesome!

I finally upgraded my forerunner 230 so it took me a fair amount of time to get used to 21st century options and data. Still a lot to learn but what I am using is incredible.

I'm a convert!

I've been using Fitbit for the past three years, but lack of features and low quality control was becoming an issue. I was hesitant to switch, but the ant+ compatibility of Garmin's watches ended up winning me over. All I can say is Wow, I wish I'd switched three years ago!

Love It!!!

I've worn a forerunner 235, 645, 745, and most recently the Fenix 6x pro. I'll have to admit I love the look of the Fenix 6x pro but for running it feel heavy on the wrist. The 955 is a perfect blend of the Fenix and Forerunner models without the weight which is very important to me when training. I also like the touchscreen feature to move through the screen. This is my favorite watch I've ever worn.

Accurate watch that really knows me
on September 13, 2022
Posted by: eday524
I've had nearly every model of Forerunner and the 955 is very impressive by how well it automatically knows my health and fitness status. It's helpful and motivating to have confirmation of my own perception, along with smart recommendations for my training. The GPS and pace accuracy seems spot on and noticeably improved over the 945 - as does the battery performance. The only issues I've had is that the timing of alerts during workouts (run and swim) seem a bit off. In swim workouts it sometimes starts or credits a lap when I didn't swim. I trust Garmin will work out these few bugs. It works OK in the quick-release mount for wrist and bike from my 945, but not perfectly. Too bad Garmin didn't just nail that and claim official support.

Happy but battery life is not as advertised
on September 14, 2022
Posted by: Xmen
While cycling with Garmin 955 + HR Pro, Garmin Radar, Garmin Speed/Cadence sensor, I noticed that it would consume around 35-45% of batter life every 2-3 hours of ride. Having said that, I need to charge the watch every 3-4 days. Besides the battery life, everything else is great!

Music/Bluetooth signal is intermittent
on September 14, 2022
Posted by: Thanh Vo
This watch is packed with features - one big gripe though Music signal is intermittent and is always cutting in/out when using outdoors/bike.
My iPhone does not have this issue when driving the music.
