Way more than I expected…

I went from a FR620 to a FR735XT several years ago to get the wrist heart rate and had been enjoying the watch and its features until I was in a bicycle accident and totally destroyed it. I called Garmin after reviewing the product line and, as I already have an Apple Watch (yes, I wear two watches), I decided to go with the less expensive Forerunner series over the Fenix. Wow! This watch has everything, and the technology seems to have advanced light years. The watch provides suggestions each day on an appropriate workout and keeps track of your "battery." Once you get accustomed to the watch, you realize how intuitive the software is and how much fun this watch is to wear.

Best running watch yet

I love the watch but had to return it, It arrived with a fracture in the lens that kept on Growing. I am waiting for my refund so I can purchase it again. Great improvement over my 735 XT which I had for over five years until it completely died.

Works well.

So, OWS tracking is top notch! Way better than my 935, the optical HRM works well in the water, big improvement here.
One issue, is when I get notifications. It shows an icon then the text, I do not like having to wait 5 seconds for the icon to go away and to see the text. Need an option to disable that.

Lots of helpful features - lightweight and comfort

This watch has some amazing features for training and tracking health and wellness. It's not nearly as big as I had feared, being a small-ish built woman, and it's lightweight and comfortable especially for the size. I like the option of a touch screen along with the buttons. Accurate GPS, great metrics to help me train smarter, and, while not super stylish, passable with work attire. I wish they used quickfit or quick release bands -the band it comes with has to be removed with a tool, but I substituted quick fit bands to make any changes easier. I bought it in white, and it looks nice and clean - easy to view the screen in a lot of lights too. I am a 20-30 mile/week runner, do yoga, hiking, trail running, track running, some weights, and occasionally swim and bike. I am definitely not using all of the myriad of features but all the features I want are there - including pickleball! The Stamina feature is very cool as is the training readiness - it works so much better than previous training load versions of Garmin. I am very pleased.

Very disappointed in 955

Bought the watch two weeks ago. Not much I like about it.
The glass face scratches easily, it's already damaged.
The data is no more usable than my old VivoSmart. On the athletic side, the algorithms are not training athletes, the rest/recovery cycles are comical. Training Readiness is not credible enough to change my program. And it's out of sync with the Body Battery metric.
The sleep data is no better than the limited data on the the VivoSmart.
This device really serves no useful purpose.
I like the white strap, that's about it.
