Like it so far
on January 16, 2023
Posted by: Old Age
I am still trying to learn how to use all the features. The only problem so far is that the wrist based HR seems to be high, like really high vs a chest strap. While I would expect the chest strap to be more accurate, because the wrist based HR is so much higher I am not sure how useful it is if I go out without my chest strap. Other than that I am liking it so far, particularly how long the battery lasts vs my 935.

good watch for tracking your body's info...

I am glad I bought this watch vs. one of the other "main" brands. It keeps a charge for a good while, a major point to me. The watch continues to add value the longer I wear it.

Great running features, poor quality
on January 30, 2023

For running purposes this is a great watch. Otherwise, difficult to justify. I’ve had pixel issues, syncing issues and just overall inaccurate data

Great watch with so many features
on January 31, 2023
Posted by: WaveRider67
I’ve had this watch for about a month and it’s not just a watch, it’s a tool with so many features and possibilities.
The training through the Garmin Coach feature is super cool. Just enter your race distance, race date, and the number of days you can train per week in the Connect app and it will create a customized training plan and send it to your watch. Wish I had this 15 years ago when I was just guessing at how to train for marathons.
Plus all the other features that can be used to determine your readiness (HRV, body battery) and then if your training is impacting your performance (VO2max), just to name a few.
So far, the watch has given me far greater insights into my fitness than I could have imagined.

Making me a better athlete...
on February 2, 2023
Posted by: jat31
I bought this 4 weeks ago. I am still learning what all of the metrics mean and how to be responsive to its recommendations for optimization. I am consistently surprised at how intuitive the software is and the navigation.
Struggling to identify why I have such gaps in my low intensity loads. I do wish it was more accepting of weight training as something that progresses your overall fitness. The only way to really move metrics seems to be cardio and consistent heart rate activities rather than intervals (weight training). But hopefully that will be adjusted as this watch becomes a favorite of more cross training athletes.

So much packed into a watch
on February 3, 2023
Posted by: CraigW
I bought this watch to give me better data, and was worried that it might just duplicate what my Apple Watch does. I couldn't have been more wrong. I love that the Forerunner 955 can receive programmed workouts, and not only track them but alert me to changes in intervals with all the details. I like being able to leave my phone behind as the watch stores music when I choose to listen on a run, and it gives me voice cues over the music as well. There is a learning curve with this watch, but it gathers so much valuable data that it is to be expected. I couldn;t be happier with the choice of the Forerunner955.
