Great Out Companion
on October 31, 2022
Posted by: Red Snail Racing
I have a ViviActive and a VivoActive3 and now the Forerunner 955. The 955 is by far the best of the three. Not only does it supply a tremendous amount of information, the heart rate monitor is accurate enough that I don't feel the need to wear a strap all the time.
The only downside is that it has so much information is that it takes a while to sift through it and decide what is important to me. Also it does function differently than the Active3, so is a bit of a learning cure.
Over all it is a great workout companion. And it will become an even a better one as I spend more time with it.

The watch is amazing, the connect app; not so much
on November 7, 2022
Posted by: Shane F
I love the watch, built really well, the battery is incredible coming from an Apple Watch. But the connect app is not amazing. It’s a maze of sub menus and I cannot intuitively find specific things. Currently trying to find my weekly running mileage which is easy to find on all other fitness apps but while it probably is in Garmin connect, I just can’t find it

Needs update to turn off backlight during sleep
on November 7, 2022
Posted by: sleeplessnearseattle
My parter is woken up each night after being beamed by the backlight (lowest setting option is 10% brightness). Please fix this ASAP!

955 forerunner
on November 8, 2022
Posted by: Erikabee
I’m coming from the fenix 6s watch. I absolutely love the forerunner 955. It’s much lighter. The watch band that comes with the 955 is so much better than fenix. Battery life was about 9days on fenix
I’m getting between 11-15 days depending how much I use the gps.
The touch screen is very responsive. I wish I would’ve started with the forerunner watch series over the fenix. I’ll probably never go back to the fenix line up.
And I know I will never own another Apple Watch.
Garmin lifer!!!! I love the integration of the app and watch. Much easier to customize to your specific goals and needs.

GREAT SPORT WATCH
on November 11, 2022
Posted by: patas
I got this for add some trace to my sleeping , hiking and trail run, but amazed with the easy link to my Neo Tacx trainer and 530 as well. Fast link to the HR belt and power, cadence, speed sensor. Great info if you aren't riding your 530's on the bike.
Long battery performance, more than 15 days without charging it.
very good data from all training and rest, sleeping and OX insights.

So Far So Good
on November 16, 2022
Posted by: Brook Runs
I’ve had this watch for about a month now and am very happy with it overall. I was in need of a new smart watch to assist me with training for a half marathon and future marathons. It was between this watch and a new apple watch. I have no complaints about this watch at all. I’ve had Apple Watches for years and finally decided to go garmin. This watch has proven to be just as useful and stylish as any of my Apple Watches. This watch is super lightweight and easy to use once you figure how it works. I recommend!
