Forerunner 55

I like it, but really need the font size bigger. Any way to help with that? I can't read it some of the screens unless I put my glasses on. When I'm out I don't always have my readers to help me see!
Response from GarminBy Cecil with Garmin, Fitness, March 11, 2022
We are happy to see that you are using the device, however we are sorry to hear that you were having issues with the font sizing. Unfortunately there is not a way to adjust font sizing on the device other than adjusting the number of data fields. What you can try doing is change the number of data fields down to a single one instead of having multiple data fields on a single screen. If you need further assistance please reach out to our team and we can assist you. Thank you for the review.

Good upgrade from FR220
on March 30, 2022
Posted by: Garminlifetimeuser
I bought this once my FR 220 battery went bad after several years and glad I chose this model. It is a great basic running watch with a lot of great features, some of which I’ll probably never use. My only suggestion is that Garmin shouldn’t have discontinued the foot pod because even when you calibrate it on a treadmill then go back to use it at a different speed it doesn’t seem to match up as good with the treadmill like my original watch did that had a foot pod. Other than that I like it!

We are happy to hear that you are enjoying the device, we would encourage you to start out on our support site for help with the treadmill readings. Also our site gives you a way to contact our team as well. Thank you for posting a review.

I wish it had indoor rowing function
on March 31, 2022
Posted by: SamStoner
Everything works great. I appreciate the buttons over touch screen for function in the wet. The heart rate monitor works consistently well (I've had trouble with other watch brands). I just wish it had an indoor rower function in the activities.

Thank you for posting a review we appreciate the feed back. You are correct the Forerunner 55 does not have an indoor rowing option like some of our other devices. We would encourage you to reach out to our team so that we can get more details from you and work on a solution.

First Smartwatch
on April 11, 2022
Posted by: Will B
I received the garmin forerunner 55 for my birthday a few days ago, so far it's been great! The battery lasts a long time, I'm able to get my notifications on the watch and see lots of data about my health. The only thing that sucks is I dont see a wheelchair option. I'm paralyzed and run with my chair, which burns more calories than regular running and I dont have that as an option on here, maybe they will add it eventually? The under armor app has it so cant be too hard but hey, I realize I'm a small market so I get it! Overall though, been a good birthday present!

Light weight watch

Nice watch except is hard to read letters, numbers too small and not bright enough. I have a hard time seeing contents as lighting is poor
Response from GarminBy Cecil with Garmin, Fitness, June 6, 2022
We are sorry to see that you are having issue with the display. It is possible to change the size of the letters and numbers by decreasing the number of data fields being shown on a single page. As for the brightness we would encourage you to reach out to our team so that we can determine if there is an issue with this particular device. Thank you for posting a review.
