I like it but, I think the perfect tracker would have and ankle strap to go with it, so when you are carrying something it will continue to calculate.

So far I love it!

My forerunner 35 broke at the band so I had to upgrade. I love that I can adjust the face to show everything I used to have to toggle to…steps, heart rate, miles, and I still get texts and weather updates.

Super Long-Lasting Battery
on October 3, 2025
Posted by: Philly-boy
I bought this to replace my 45 forerunner. I run up to 30 miles a week, and these base models provide everything I could need or want. I’m not a competitive runner, but an athlete as a lifestyle. What sets this 55 forerunner apart is its long-lasting battery: two whole weeks, as opposed to its predecessor’s mere few days. If you don’t need all the fancy bells and whistles of the significantly more expensive models, most of whose own batteries won’t last this long, then I highly recommend this model. Get the acqua color!

Time to be a great runner?
on October 4, 2025

I didn't buy this to be a great runner. I don't run; haven't run since high school. I use it to count steps, my heart rate and my activity minutes. I buy Garmin because they can go in the water. I like to do water activities. How about adjusting your products for someone like me who isn't as active but would still like to track what they do?

Accurate Measurements
on October 4, 2025
Posted by: Wolfman1
I have only had this a couple weeks but the accuracy is so much better than the app I was using on my phone. The directions are hard to understand as the control buttons are very small and hard to read the labels but overall I am very happy.
