I now have three sets of watch straps from previous models (some nice colors too) that I cannot use on the 955.. disappointing :(

Over a week between charges and the map on open water swims is much better than previous devices I have owned.

Great Functions & Battery, Face Scratches Easily
on October 5, 2022
Posted by: DaveOR
The functions on this watch are great! Having had a Garmin Vivoactive 3, I have experienced a learning curve on how to configure and operate the functions. The online manual is somewhat sketchy, so I have needed lots of YouTubes and experimenting. The battery life is fantastic, totally in line with what is claimed. I thought about the solar version, but this is not necessary for me. To take full advantage of the map functionality download/update all maps with Garmin Express and consider setting map detail to high (battery usage impact?). I still need to experience using the Forerunner 955 on a hike together with my Garmin inReach Mini2. The BAD NEWS: the watch face scratches very easily, having picked up a nasty scratch inside my house within a few days of purchase. Be sure to buy a screen protector and use it from the start (I now have one).

Debating if it’s worth it??! 100%!!
on October 6, 2022
Posted by: Moncho
I thought Garmin only made GPS for vehicles. Other than that I had no idea they made watches. I started to watch Nick Bare as I am training for my first half marathon and marathon and saw he was using Garmin products. At first I thought “yeah yeah whatever”. As soon as I saw that video it felt like everyone I was running into had Garmin watches lol. I went back and watched how he used his watch and was still debating if I should get a watch. 1 week before my half marathon I got the Forerunner 955 and WOW! This watch can do everything and more. I’m still learning all of the features but I feel this definitely helps you track your progress which will help know where you’re at and how to improve your workouts! I only wish they had like a salesman at stores to go over everything. Although I use a ton of features I know there is still a ton features more that I could use to help me improve and hit my goals!
100% Recommend to anyone!

Disappointed
on October 9, 2022
Posted by: Suzie88
I upgraded from a Fenix 5 to the Forerunner 955. It had the same things the new Fenix had that I wanted but the polymer case gave it a lower price tag. I was so excited I took it out of the box and went for a quick run to check out some newer features and it worked great! A few days later I looked at the body battery and training readiness and it was quite low. I figured it needed a week or so to figure out my patterns. I then realized it was not accurately tracking my sleep. It would either record no sleep data or show me waking up at 2am or only getting 3 hours of sleep. I tried adjusting the tightness, making sure my sleep window was updated under my info and have had no luck. Even when I go in and edit my sleep to the correct time my sleep score, body battery, and training readiness never update. A lot of the new features I was excited about don't display properly because my sleep is never read correctly. Now I'm over here about to have to spend even more money on a different new Garmin to purchase a model that works. After doing some searching I've seen this has been an issue for the 955 and there is no fix.
