Focused Features
on June 17, 2022

As a runner, GPS accuracy is a must not sacrifice feature. While my Garmin Fenix 6s was no slouch it wasn't as fine tuned as the Forerunner 955 is for running. The lighter weight, always outstanding battery life, combined with the pixel perfect GPS accuracy on the map makes the watch my Pick-of-the-year for running gadgets.

Absolutely love this watch. Loved the 945 but needed the bigger screen, the touch ability makes it so easy to use. 10/10

Worthy successor to the 945

Love it, if you’re one the fence do it. Prefer the light weight of the forerunner line. Added quick straps = A++

Great for endurance athletes

Had it for a little over 2 weeks and it replaced my apple watch. Wish I had done it sooner. Great battery life, better heart rate and GPS accuracy, and loads more valuable data insights into training readiness, recovery, training results. Absolutely love it and probably don’t use all the features yet.

Purchased because of the new HRV metrics
on June 20, 2022
Posted by: ALNC
I haven't clocked the minimum three weeks to take full advantage of all the metrics that are available to be read accurately by the GFR955, but so far, I am loving it! I wish the clock face was slightly brighter by default, and the emails and notifications can be timed to remain at a certain duration, but on the whole, I'm good with this. The sleep app clocks in the total with high accuracy, as do the oxygen levels, and my subjective stress levels, which the GFR955 measures objectively. Comfortable to wear, quick to charge, slow to drain battery, and easily readable font. Highly versatile smartwatch. Garmin's best yet!

Great watch, new Multi mode GPS is amazing

Love this new 955. I have it over 2 weeks, GPS picks up satellites very fast, and so far accuracy is great. Battery lasts over a week, including more than 10 hours of activities.

Brilliant running and sports watch
on June 20, 2022

I owned a Garmin Forerunner 110 around a decade ago and have since purchased a Fenix 3 and Fenix 5X. I purchased the Forerunner 955 when it was released and is my favorite. The 955 has great features and it is half the weight of my 5X. Looks great to wear as an everyday watch too.

Great updates but some major disappointments
on June 20, 2022
Posted by: jd44
I upgraded from a 735xt to the 955 and have been enjoying it overall. Most of the workouts have improved but pool swimming on the 955 is definitely worse. There is no way to restart an interval, and the images and text for equipment no longer come through so I was forced to edit every workout that I had previously made. Also, the screen order (even after changing it in the app) makes the rest screen pop up first, so you have to scroll through every screen after each interval to see the swim workout text.
