Great tool for tracking health!
on April 16, 2024
Posted by: XCGram
Have been using Forerunner 55 for a little over a month. I track my water aerobics workout and my swimming. I am a senior woman that wanted to track my heart rate, sleep patterns and general health. I am pleased with the ease of using the watch, and the ease of using Garmin Connect. I have just started looking into the user connections. There is so much to learn but so much basic information that is easy to access. The great side light is everything I have used is included in the purchase price. No extra cost for Garmin Connect. There is a learning curve but it is not as steep as I initially thought. For me and my needs it is a winner! No problems with using it in pool water daily.

Everything I need for running!

I got this a week before my first 5k, and even though I only had it for a week... my training improved almost 50% and I ran my fastest time yet at my race. I love that there are so many options for workouts, like running outside, on treadmill, walking, swimming, etc. Its just unbelievable how many stats this watch tracks. The set up was extremely easy, and it was super quick to learn what each button does. I just love this watch, as a beginner to professional running, this watch has been a game changer.

Great Everyday Watch

The watch is so light weight that you never notice it until you need to. The screen is always visible and never glares. Connects to your iPhone without any problems. Tracks all the things you need. Love it so far.

I bought this specifically for running. Love the long battery life, amazing stat details on all my activities and a place for notes and equipment tracking. Excellent price too.

Great watch - especially for the price!

I bought this watch to help improve my training and am so happy I did. I previously used an Apple Watch and the features on the forerunner are very helpful. I’ve found the guided runs are nice when I don’t know what run to do for the day. One of my favorite features is the recovery tool. I’d highly recommend this watch to anyone.

WOW

I love my watch. It is very easy to use and has a lot of cool tools you can use as an athlete or not. I got it for running consistently. Tracks sleep well and the GPS works well. You can sink with Strava and it will upload your runs once synced. This watch is great!
