The Swiss Army of GPS Fitness Watches
on March 14, 2023
Posted by: BikingJBolk
This watch does it all. A mindboggling, at times, myriad of activity/applications to choose from. Triathlete activities pre-loaded, but easily removed and/or customizeable, keep the ones you want remove those you do not. Add many others, Nordic, Class, Back Country, Cross-Country Skiing options (for me) Downhill, etc for those that like the lifts and the mountain. Golf, (not so much me) Hiking, Walking, Running, Cycling (road, gravel, mountain, wow!) All me, and Yoga (who is not interested in some flexibility?) Pickle Ball (everyone seems to be playing it) and on and on and on.
Those are just activities, how about music? 2,000 songs and or podcast space is available on your watch if you like to groove or catch up on your favorite podcasts while on the active move? Health insights galore. Struggle with sleep? Tons of sleep data, I can about guess my score before I receive my morning review, which also suggests activity level for that day, helps you be kind to your body when your proverbial 'battery' is less than recharged.
All that and it looks pretty cool and can be customized to your liking in terms of preloaded or downloadable watch faces.
Concerned about too much tech and not knowing where to start once it is your own? Check out dozens of you tube tutorials for added use insights and get out there and have fun in the post pandemic times, it is time to shake off that couch and the FR 955 will help you do so and not need to be tethered to the PC recharging, with a battery that can last up to ~ 14 days so you can get off your softer bits and firm them up for a healthier you!

Great watch
on March 14, 2023
Posted by: Wildtype53
I received this as a Christmas gift and have been extremely happy with it no for 3 months. I previously had a 935, which was a great watch, but the 955 is far superior. For sports, the HR and GPS is more accurate than my 935 (or other devices). I don't see weird spikes or drops in HR that occasionally experienced with the 935.
The general health and recovery sensors and algorithms are quite good. The watch somehow picked up that was getting sick and recommended I focus on rest before I even started to feel bad. The sleep tracking seems quite good in that it frequently correlates to how I feel.

Garmin User for 30+ years!

Over the last 30+ years I've had a Forerunner 310-610-620-725-735 & now a 955. The 955 is hands down the best Garmin device I've ever owned. If I'm honest, however, it's way more device than I need anymore. I'm 73 & long past my marathon/triathon days. I got the 955 to replace my worn out 725. It wasn't much more $$$ & I was frankly curious about whether or not there were really discernable differences. There are! The active interface & available apps are fantastic! I truly wish I'd had a device this powerful when I was an active runner & training seriously. I recommend it highly. The only gotcha' about my 955 is I've had to recycle the Touch Interface control twice in the month. For some unknown reason the touch control goes bad after a couple weeks. Recycling the Touch control ON/OFF button 'fixes' it - for another couple weeks. For any old guy reading this & no longer into serious training this is not the device for you. Unless like me you have more money than good sense.

FR 955, Great watch
on March 20, 2023

For a sport guy this is the companion watch because it has a lot of features for many sports.
I like it too because I can listen my favorite playlist music wearing my earphones.
Is the first time I’ve a Garmin and I’m happy with my buying.

Great running tool!

I bought this watch 30 days or so ago. What an awesome tool. Way more than I could ever use at this point in my running hobby, but, I appreciate all the available options. The music apps are great and work without any issues.

Good buying

I like this watch, FR 955, it has everything that a professional sport guy could need. I’m not in that category but I’ve founded what I’m used to do but in more detail. It’s very accurate with the distance and altitude. One more thing that I appreciate is I can play my favorite list of music.

Easy to use
on March 31, 2023
Posted by: Dee P.
I switched from my Apple Watch to the forerunner to train for a 70.3. I love it. It has everything I need for managing my life, is easy to use and doesn’t have a bunch of junk I never use. Should have bought this over an Apple Watch for sure.
