Features all work as expected
on October 22, 2022

I upgraded from a Samsung fit 2 and I am so glad I did. All the features are working as expected. I am also using workout features that I didn't know were available until I bought it. I would recommend this watch to everyone.

Great features but underwhelming
on October 23, 2022
Posted by: TDSanchez
I am no stranger to tech wearables (Oura ring and Whoop) so I appreciate the breadth of stats that I need to assess my readiness to perform daily. I purchased the Garmin 955 as a complement to the superior Oura/Whoop devices. I ran a 10K Spartan Race and was satisfied with the stats especially with the map, distance traveled, moving time vs. time
Elapsed, pinpoint accurate elevation gain, etc. I have worn the watch for over 3 weeks to get baseline average HRV and I have to say it seems inaccurate compared to Whoop/Oura. Whoop and Oura are always within single digits of one another in terms of overnight HRV, while Garmin 955 has been off more than 20-30 points consistently. The watch has great use cases but I will take the markers and stats with a grain of salt.

Great battery life

I bought this tracker about a month ago because my VivoActive 3 stopped taking a charge. Loving the battery life. Still learning about all the updated data points and how they will help me. All in all very pleased with the tracker.

Amazing Battery Life

I bought this a few weeks ago and mainly use it as a smart watch. It will easily last a week or two between charges based on usage. Highly recommended for those who dislike charging their watch everyday.

Disappointing
on October 27, 2022
Posted by: gervasio76
I changed my 945 (great product!) for this new 955 because I wanted to have my music in the device.
The 955 has a serious connectivity issue with the GPS, I reset it several times, updated the software, etc. but the issue persists.
In addition, the battery life is much lower than the 945 (perhaps because of the touch screen).
I am thinking about going back to the 945.

Excellent value
on October 28, 2022
Posted by: Jamie7458342765
I'm an avid cyclist and actually don't run at all. This watch is a perfect blend of features and value. The battery life is incredible. I charge it while I shower and never worry about it ever getting below 80%. It's great for tracking my rides when I'm not using my bike computer; I get all the data I need in a really light package. In all, I can't think of a better value.
