Amazing

I bought this to train and wear for my upcoming marathon. I have been extremely pleased with the quality and absolutely love the battery life. I can go an entire week without having to charge and would be able to go even longer if I wasn't running 12-20 ish miles every weekend. I had heard great things about these and I am very pleased with this purchase. 10/10 would definitely buy again.

I have had my watch for less than a month and have already recommended it to two young mothers for their adolescent children!

Watch has some good features but the readout is SO small I can barely read it without glasses and I don’t wear glasses during exercise. Wish I had not bought it

I'm SUPER happy

I bought this watch when my other fitness tracker had an issue with the app. I rage quit that tracker and I'm so glad I did. The forerunner is a MUCH more accurate and helpful device for my run training. I love the built in fitness programs and the amazing data available post-workout. Plus, it's comfortable.

I bought this about a year ago, and it has been working perfectly ever since. It is nice to only have to charge it every few weeks or so, and you don't have to take it off to swim or shower.

Great watch that is easy to love for all of its fitness tracking!! The only thing that I would note is it’s a bigger watch and is a little bit bulky. I love using it for running and tracking my sleep at night! This watch is probably better for a more experienced Garmin user as it has a lot more features like more advanced fitness tracking.

The watch is comfortable to wear. I wear it daily to track my steps and for running. I am a beginner runner and I really enjoy the metrics I get from my runs. I find the battery life is pretty good too. It's a good all around watch, but it does look pretty sporty. I'd prefer a different band option such as a nylon velcro situation.

Very useful

A Garmin Forerunner 55 is my first GPS watch that I use when I run. Strava has had problems losing signal even in the middle of Central Park, New York City, and became unreliable. I haven't had the same problem with my Garmin. I have not yet fully utilized all features but it has already proven very useful.
