Great watch, new features!

Great watch to replace my 945 which I hung onto as long as I could. This newer version has more features and runs smoother. Faster capture of GPS signal and I like that it calculates HRV overnight. Lots more configurability from audible alerts during workouts to different display options. As always, Garmin makes a great product and backs it up with their stellar customer support.

I really love the Garmin Forerunner 955. If only it would scream at me in the voice of a DI, maybe I would follow its advice better.

Purchase this watch after by son got one and raved about it. It does everything I need. Heart monitor, track workouts, sleep, etc. A little pricy, however it is worth every penny in my humble opinion.

Moved from AE. No regrets

I am a cyclist and had been using Apple Watch and a Whoop band for my data needs. When my whoop renewal came up I decided to move to Garmin to replace both. Still getting to know all the features but really enjoying it so far. The Garmin ecosystem for my daily wear and cycling (have a Garmin computer) is so much better now and I don’t know why I didn’t jump sooner. I never used my AW as a phone replacement and the 955 gives me all the features I needed.

I bought the forerunner 955 about a month ago and so far I'm loving it. I love the sleek look of it. I generally use it for hiking and walking. So far it is doing everything I need it to. I'm still learning new features all the time. I do wish the battery lasted a little bit longer. I play around on it a lot and I'm probably getting about 8 days out of the battery. I generally track at least two activities a day also.

Best Sport watches

The watch is great for sports lovers. a few disadvantages: the glass was cracked, without external influences. The battery lasts about a week, I want more.

good solid watch
on March 28, 2024

I have had the FR955 since Mach 7th. The watch is slightly bigger than the FR945 LTE that I had previously had but I don't notice it at all. The battery life is unbelievable. I run everyday, averaging from 5-16 miles and the battery life lasts for days. I also have at least 1-2 track speed sessions and the watch has performed flawless. This isn't any dig on the FR955 but I wish Garmin would have continued the LTE function with the 955 series like the FR945 had. I do not run with my watch so the Incident detection is useless to me. Something I would like to pass on involves the Livetrack. Because I do not run with my phone, I have to turn off my auto start live track because the watch will say connected but when I get far enough away from my phone, it will notify me that Livetrack was disconnected. If my running route brings me close to the location of my phone it will say Livetrack connected. You get the idea. It becomes annoying if you are doing loops near your phone. Garmin said I have to turn Livetrack off so the alert will not constantly pop up. Other than that there isn't any negative about the watch. The buttons are crisp, easily programmable, navigation through the functions is easy, and the background light is bright. The accuracy is spot on. I am very happy with the upgrade.
