Next time I will buy Suunto

I bought 2 forerunners 955 and one of them the first days of use was damage. I can’t turn it one and I can’t use it. This is the second time having this problem. The first time was with my forerunner 245 music.

Great Watch Upgrade!
on January 9, 2023
Posted by: Xander86
I had used an original Garmin Vivo Active since about 2016. It was a good watch and served me well but it had gotten a cracked screen and was starting to glitch a bit (hard to charge, distances not quite correct on some runs). Six years for a fitness watch was a good run so I requested the 955 as a Christmas present and was so happy to unwrap it on Christmas morning. The features and functionality are so much more advanced (obviously). I feel like I graduated from the kids table to the adult table. I have been using the Garmin Coach in Connect for a half marathon training plan and love it. I like to be able to get music from my watch and run free without the phone. I like the option to use the touch screen or the buttons to navigate. I love all the health data I am receiving and see both my training and health progressing. I highly recommend this watch.

Outstanding Watch!
on January 9, 2023

I’ve had the 955 for about a month now and I’m extremely pleased w/ the purchase. I’m primarily a trail/road runner. My everyday watch has been a 245 which I believed could not easily be improved upon until I began researching the 255 and 955. The added features found on both of the newer models (All Systems, Multi-Band, barometric altimeter, HRV, Morning Report, Garmin Pay, etc.) were big improvements on a great running watch. I struggled between the 955 and 255 and, in the end, believed the higher price of the 955 was justified given the mapping features, battery life and the touchscreen (originally, not on my wishlist but super handy when obsessing over the sleep data and run metrics on the watch). I didn’t necessarily want a larger sized watch but when I compared the 255 and 955 side by side the size difference was nominal. I’ve worn the 955 for the past month continually and, to me, it’s as comfortable as the 245 for everyday wear.

Finally an accurate GPS, HR and long battery. The software and screen are also super cute.

Not just for runners
on January 14, 2023
Posted by: Ohio-Tim
This is a great general sport watch too. The GPS accuracy is the best I've ever seen. I really like having the maps available on runs or hikes (maybe for other stuff too, but that's where I use them). And having running power is a bonus. The training readiness and other health metrics really help me adjust my plans and avoid over training. I would absolutely buy this again if I lost this one.

Amazing

I had an apple watch before and if you mainly use your watch for fitness, this is the watch for you. It blows the competition out of the water with its training recommendations, activity trackers and the overall intuitiveness of the device. And it looks good!

Overall Fantastic Watch
on January 16, 2023
Posted by: The Tab
Bought the watch last week as an upgrade from my 2018 Forerunner 35. Needless to say it is a MAJOR upgrade and I love it so far. One disappointment as compared to the 35 is that I cannot seem to have km and Celsius show on the watch, only the app.
