Lightweight and easy to operate

Got the Forerunner 55 as a Xmas gift. Apart from all the cool sport settings, I really enjoy the fact that it is so lightweight, I do not feel it. Awesome. I took it skin diving last week and bought to play Squash. Highly recommended.

Awful.

Instruction booklet in tiny grey print impossible to read. Downloaded & printed manual. Impossible to understand. Watch constantly beeps & vibrates whenever any notification arrives & can’t be prevented.

Good sport watch

This a good smart sport watch. Lots of different sports to track in detail with GPS. Battery goes for at least 5 days without GPS use. Easy to read outside, nice reflective screen. Though resolution is not very good when internal light is used but good enough for its price.

Christmas present. Every time I go into the app it is asking me to set up. Not very helpful instructions.

Good watch
on January 16, 2023

4.5 stars. The GPS works well most of the time, and there have only been a few times that it has taken more than a minute to get GPS, and that was when I was moving and in an area with lots of trees. It has lots of different options for watch faces and you can choose which data it displays while you are running. It’s also cool that it has heart rate and when you finish a run you can look at all sorts of data like elevation profile and even overlay two graphs, like speed and elevation. It also has the PacePro which allows you to add a route and then make a plan for how fast you want to run each part of it. The battery lasts about 4-7 days, depending on how long you use GPS. Overall it’s a good watch that I would definitely recommend for both beginner and intermediate runners.
