Forerunner 55
on April 10, 2024
Posted by: JimZ
Recently purchased a Forerunner 55 sport watch to replace my old Garmin watch that died. Completely satisfied with the Forerunner 55 and am very happy with the purchase. Has all the activity trackers plus heart rate, total steps throughout the day, sleep metrics and calories burned plus others. It gives great feedback through Garmin Connect. My only negative is that the watch face is smaller than my previous Garmin Forerunner and harder to read. Still a great watch for the price!! I recommend it.

Love this watch
on April 11, 2024

I bought these about 4 weeks ago and it’s worth every penny. I’ve owned a Fitbit in the past and will not go back to that. The extra services you have to pay for with Fitbit are included with the Garmin ecosystem. That was main reason I decided to switch and don’t regret it.
I will have to say my favorite aspect of this watch is the coach function and adapting training program it has kept me motivated to keep up with my runs and provides great scheduling and suggestions. The Coaching format along with the body battery have been great.

Amazing for high school track!

Posted by: track lover
I bought this watch almost a month ago and I absolutely love it. The price point is great for all of the features it comes with and it works fantastic to keep track of my milage and long runs as a high school distance track runner. I absolutely love the fun teal color and I couldn't be happier with this product. The battery life is great as well!

Love the body battery feature
on April 16, 2024

This was a bit of a learning curve to learn how to use but thankfully YouTube tutorials and the Internet exist. I mostly have this for the body battery feature and hope to use it for running if I return to that in the future.
