My First Garmin!
on September 5, 2025
Posted by: kayla23
I bought my Forerunner 55 about a month ago and love it so far! I was searching for a watch that wasn't too overwhelming with so many different features and could just track my workouts effectively. Works great and charges super fast.

i bought this watch a little less than a month ago, and im very happy with it. i just started cross country and it helps a lot with my pace and i can see my runs in the app afterwards and it has cool benefits. plus, it helps me get up in the morning by its alarm. the battery lasts SO long, ive only charged in once so far.

Impossible to use

This watch while having lots of nice features is the most complex to use. It is not as easy to use as an apple or Fitbit.

Best thing I’ve ever purchased

I never thought I’d love a running watch. I don’t take it off now. It’s changed my entire life. I actually know I’m making progress now. I’m a #GarminGuy

Lots of features
on September 12, 2025
Posted by: Robert Roadrunner
I’ve only had the watch for a couple
of weeks but I like it. I had the forerunner 35 previously and loved the simplicity of all. But this watch does have a ton more features. For example it gives me a planned workout when I want to run. It only takes a couple of buttons hit and it’s ready to do whatever. The battery lasts forever which nice. The alarm clock has a snooze. I’m sure there are lots more features but they are the ones that stand out in my head.
One more thing that’s a bit different. When I first got the watch the band kept backing out of the watch band holder. It didn’t seem to stay very long no matter how tight I made it. I ended up reversing the band. It is a bit harder to put it on myself but it doesn’t come out of the holder.
