Not thrilled
on June 8, 2023
Posted by: Tonys
Not happy. The 955 does a lot of things much more than I actually need. But it's not user friendly. My 235 was much more user friendly. The 955 is difficult to retrieve data from an activity. When I run I want to know the lap pace and heart rate when done. It was easy to see that data right away. With the 955 it is not readily available and difficult to wade thru the maze of data to try and find it. Setting up data screens was much easier in the 235 but is a challenge with the 955. Sorry I bought it.

Should have done more research before buyin.

Not sure why I bought this watch. Not a runner. As a walker, golfer and a person who uses the gym, i thought it would provide good information about my exercise and sleep routines. This is a good watch but didn’t meet my expectation. Sleep algorithms are way off. A round of golf isn’t considered exercise.

Has everything I need and more
on August 26, 2023

Absolutely love all of the activities and data this watch gives me. Battery life is incredible compared to the vivoactive which is what I used to have.
I wanted a watch that would be good for triathlon, golf and open water swimming. This has it all including a ton of running metrics that have helped me improve my run form. No regrets

Better than apple watch
on August 26, 2023
Posted by: Ashy222
Have had the Apple Watch Series 5 for about 3 years and run every day with it. Decided to make the switch to the 955 when I wanted sleep data and a battery that lasted longer than 12 hours. 955 tracks workouts perfectly with button controls. The interface is super simple but so detailed with great health data. Not to mention the incredible battery life and fast charging. Only complaint is the gps takes a little bit to load and have had it once not load at all, but this is so infrequent.

Reliable and consistent tracking
on September 3, 2023
Posted by: MM..
Bought after a certain square watch died 3 times in the lap pool. Swim coach and triathlon friends had a Garmin so I got one. I’m not at their level but enjoy the tracking and coaching features. Ties into my Garmin gear on bike. Still looks good a year after swim bike run. Garmin support via chat has been very helpful too.

Excellent update to 945
on September 6, 2023
Posted by: Joe.Astro
After a few weeks, I’m loving the much better battery life and excellent GPS accuracy born from the multiband functionality compared to my previous 945LTE.
