Readings seem laggy and inaccurate
on December 17, 2023

The heartrate monitor, which should be the most simple metric to measure, is inconsistent, and clearly wrong my 30-40 beats on a regular basis. This gives me very low confidence in the other readings that the watch takes

Nice Upgrade
on December 12, 2023
Posted by: Julianna F
This watch has been a nice upgrade from my old Forerunner 735. The battery life is awesome and it charges really quickly. Do I love that I know have a 'training status' that sometimes tells me I am strained and/or detraining? Not necessarily, but I do like that it is giving me daily stats about how my training readiness and sleep has been. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a watch that does it all - I have tracked triathlon activities, strength training, and even golf on this thing. I am really happy with this watch.

This watch keeps chugging!

I've used the forerunner 955 for about 2 months now, and compared to other smartwatches and older garmins, the battery to feature correlation is insane! I hiked 100+ miles with this watch, and using "UltraTrac", I only had to charge the watch once in 2 weeks, easily done with the smallest of power banks. now that I am back to sea level and running, the powerful metrics and accurate multi-band gps help me optimize my training to be the best I can at running.

Traded up for the Garmin Forerunner 955 from a basic Apple Watch. From a performance perspective, this watch has far more potential than the Apple Watch. It's going to take some time to learn about all the features and which ones work for me. For example, preloading running workouts. The Garmin Forerunner 955's one major downside in comparison to my Apple Watch is it's not as user-friendly. As with most Apple products, I find my Apple Watch to be more simple, especially with its voice/Siri capabilities. However, the user-friendliness of the Apple Watch comes with performance limitations, thus my purchase of the Garmin Forerunner 955. The Garmin Forerunner 955 is a great option for anyone looking to transition from the Apple Watch series to gain more serious performance capabilities but maintain features such as a touchscreen and music downloading.

Triathlon / Mountaineering

I've been using this watch to track my activities which mostly consist of Triathlons and Mountaineering excursions. Overall, I've been extremely happy with the Forerunner 955 as my first "smart watch". The resolution of the screen is great and UX is intuitive. I love that it connects with Strava and have seen improvements in my fitness by being able to see my paces live for biking and running. Would recommend to anyone who does a lot of hiking, swimming, biking, or running. It tracks golf too which is cool!
