Disappointing
on November 28, 2023
Posted by: Runner321
Shortly after purchasing the 955 Garmin released the 965. Additionally Garmin did a software update post purchase changing their audio tones for power based runs where third part data screens or apps no longer work. Very disappointed.

Upgrade from 935
on December 12, 2023
Posted by: PatRo
My Forerunner 935 was showing its age, and wear and tear, but was still working. I purchased the Forerunner 955 and use it for running, walking, yoga, strength training, and more. I have been happy with the new watch, along with all of the new features and metrics. The GPS seems better than my old 935. I cannot speak to the battery life yet, as I have been playing with all of the new features, but I expect long battery life.

I broke my 935 so instead of replacing it with a refurbished one I upgraded and glad I did.

Good workout tracking

I sampled a friends Fenix 6x Pro before investing in any Garmin watch. The Forerunner 955 has basically the same features, at least enough that I haven’t noticed much difference in Fx. I love the detail it allows me to input during workouts- and can tweak in the Garmin connect app afterwards. Battery life is outstanding, I’ve used on a few multi day hikes and battery wasn’t near running low by the last day.

Good overall - could be improved for swimming
on January 22, 2024
Posted by: Swimmer to Triathlete
Overall I am happy with my watch. The battery life is excellent lasting well over a week with multiple tracked workouts. My primary sport is swimming and I got this as a triathlon watch. The band is not great in the water and the excess can get loose causing it to flop around. The swim tracking is as good as I have seen in a smart watch however I wish it could measure kick sets as well as those are a big part of swim training. Perhaps a toggle for swim vs. kick in the workout could allow this without harming distance accuracy.
I’m definitely happy with the purchase but would love to see some updates on the swim workout features!
