Impressed and grateful for such amazing tech.

(1) It's my first watch with music. The initial set up wasn't difficult, and it's easy to add music from Spotify. I don't have to carry my phone anymore. (2) It was easy to pair with my earbuds. (4) I linked my Garmin to a Trainning Peaks account, in which my coah uploads my workouts. When I start my running, I could hear the instructions on my earbuds. Astounding technology.

Great features, poor battery life
on August 15, 2022
Posted by: CarlS
I have been using the Fenix 6 Sapphire having gone to that from the Forerunner 935. While I really like the display on the 955 I have to say I’m really disappointed in the battery life. If things go well I can get almost two days before dropping below 10% or going dead altogether. My Fenix easily goes 7+ days as did my Forerunner 935.
If not for the really bad battery life the 955 would be the best Forerunner to date.

Great watch
on August 16, 2022

Previously I had only used a watch with stopwatch and GPS features, so the 955 was a considerable upgrade for me. I’ve been really pleased with all of the features — including some things I didn’t really expect to use, like suggested workouts. Everything synchs well with my iPhone and PowerBeats headphones. I was hesitant about spending so much money on a running watch, but it’s turned out to be a great purchase.

Upgraded from a 935. So much more information and data if your a data person this is it. And a bigger brighter screen for my aging eyes!

Amazing Watch with Awesome Features!
on August 25, 2022

I bought this watch about a month ago and it is my favorite garmin watch yet! I’ve had a Fenix 5s as a hand-me-down from my sister, a Venu 2 Plus and now a Forerunner 955. I loved all the features that the Fenix has but didn’t need that many features so I upgraded to the Venu 2. The amoled screen on the Venu 2 was stunning! However, the Venu 2 lacked the features I loved in my Fenix. Then, I thought about getting a Whoop band to compliment the Venu but didn’t want two watch bands and two devices to charge. Also, the monthly payment of the Whoop deterred me away. I found the Forerunner and with extensive research, realized the Forerunner 955 was the way to go. The forerunner 955 has all of the health stats and training stats that I could get from the Whoop and some! I love the ability to track my HRV, training readiness and training effect. The battery life for the Forerunner is amazing! I charged it once in about my month of having it. It’s lightweight but holds up so good during running and CrossFit. I love the touchscreen and the ability to turn the touchscreen off during workouts. The only negative about the Forerunner is the lack of amoled screen. Other than that, the price of the forerunner is really good compared to the new Fenix’s and Epix. Overall, I highly recommend the Forerunner 955!

Great improvement from the 935
on August 27, 2022

I skipped the 945 upgrade and went from the 935 to the 955. More data points, training readiness, body battery, better screen, music integration. Some of those features were already in the 945, but it was a great improvement overall.
