Outstanding!

I've worn Garmin watches since the Fenix 3 (4, 5, and 5X). I switched to the Forerunner 945 because I preferred the lighter weight. The FR 955 is a fantastic upgrade and I'm extremely pleased with it.

Forerunner 955

So far a great watch, It is a more oversized watch than the 935 I used to have. I do not care for the music, and the Garmin pay is not what I got the watch for, so I wish I could remove those features to free up space for critical resources.

Good, but buggy

After 2 weeks of use the watch seems like an improvement over the 945, especially GNSS performance. However, a particularly annoying bug exists with backlight settings during an activity where the gesture feature is triggered by normal arms swings during a run - basically the light will stay on for the duration of the activity.

I’ve had it now for three weeks and I have already come to rely on it. From heart rate to spo2 to vo2 max and training battery I use it a lot.

955

my first multi sport watch. definitely enjoy the morning review and suggested workouts. this watch is jam packed with features most of which I haven't figured out yet or may never use but I think in this case more is better. wish it worked more seamlessly with bike computer during triathlons as I don't want both data files uploading to training peaks but I guess deleting one file is no big deal.

Still on the fence

I had to send my first 955 back to Garmin because it rebooted it’s self during 2 runs. Other than that I love it. The gps is more accurate and I love all the metrics it provides. Just hope I can depend on it during my marathon training cycles for Chicago and Boston.

Nice improvement over 945
on June 25, 2022

I bought the 955 as an upgrade to my 945. The new analytics are nice and overall the way the watch works (in terms of menus and information display) is as good or better than its predecessor. While the battery life is also improved, let’s be honest, the 945 was pretty outstanding on that front too. In particular the sleep analytics are improved and the HRV analysis seems to give allow the watch to better estimate preparedness. I definitely appreciate the Training Readiness feature in addition to the Body Battery function. My only gripe is with setting alarms on the watch. With the 945 alarms could be set using the Garmin Connect app on my iPhone. With the 955, this is no longer possible, and instead you need to set alarms on the watch itself, which is a pain in the tushy…

We are happy that you are enjoying the new device, however on the alarm settings it is possible to set the alarm on the Forerunner 955 from Garmin Connect. If you are still having issues with that setting we would encourage you to reach out to our team for assistance so that we can get the details from you and work on a solution. Thank you for your review we appreciate the feedback.
