Sleep tracking is very bad
on May 6, 2023
Posted by: hsub427
I bought this a few weeks back, Still testing. The watch fails to identify different stages of sleep. ofcourse the accuracy is bad in most of the watches, but Forerunner 55 does a pretty bad job for its price range.

Comfortable and light weight

I love this watch. I was really excited about all the features. I really like being able to look down and see my pace in real time. The ability to customize the screens you look at while running is huge. Being able to put what statistics that are important you is awesome. Over all happy with my purchase.

I had a fitbit which I loved but wanted to upgrade. I decided to get the forerunner and I'm so happy I did! I love the garmin training that I can access right on the watch, it's easy to use and I'm excited to improve my running following the plan.

It’s alright. I was told in the store I could download music to this one, you can not. It’s not very good at tracking sleep but it does good tracking runs. You just have to carry your phone if you wanna listen to music or a podcast.

Overall Great Watch!

I bought this watch about a month ago and absolutely love it! The training feature is awesome and I love how accurate the step counter is. I had the Forerunner 35 previous to this and it was great, but this watch is just off the charts good! As a runner, I love the feedback and versatility of the workout features. The connection and reaction times are terrific. The battery life is decent. Overall, a wonderful watch for the price and I strongly recommend to anyone.

Excellent watch

I had a Foreruuner 35 for years and liked how simple it was to use. The 55 has many more features I will never use but I am finding I like it better everyday. The battery life is even better than the 35 and so much better than the Apple Watch.
