Seems great

I still haven’t mastered all the tricks to this device, but I do like the parts I use daily: total steps, GPS, distance, pace, HR and max VO2. I should download the booklet in PDF format- the print is too small for these old eyes. One small “complaint “ though; it sometimes takes a long while for the GPS to sync.

I have used the 55 for a couple months now. Battery life is good, it has accurate tracking and good fetures

Nerdy fun!

Many reviews love or hate the Forerunner 55 for its complexity. They're right. I originally bought it to simply display my heart rate in large, readable numbers while exercising. Well, it's not intuitive to make that happen. Had to dive into manual, YouTubes and review sites to get it just like I wanted. It was frustrating. HOWEVER, getting into the nerdier level of what it can do transformed me into a personal health and exercise data connoisseur. I'm having blast tracking all kinds of interesting (to me) measures of health and performance. SO, the punchline is the watch has a LOT of interesting capabilities but you have to work through 5 buttons on the watch and 2 different phone apps to take advantage of it all and you do have to dig through multi-step instructions to make them work. If you love data and goal setting, you'll like it. If you like simplicity, you won't.

I replaced my Forerunner 45 with this 55. I needed a simple GPS watch and this fit the bill.

I've had my watch about two weeks now and I'm still getting to now about all the features of it. So far it's pretty neat.

Once I understood most of the features and controls, this watch is great! Really like the long battery life and not needing to charge for weeks.

So far I like watch with all the features the only thing that needs is to add music. I been using my phone to listen music. Phone and watch need to be near by to listen to music.
