It works just fine

I bought this a month ago and am happy I did. I could have purchased a newer model, with more bells and whistles, but I didn't need them. This one is fine. Im happy with it. If I was going to add one thing though, it is significantly smaller than the newer watches. Me being older than most watches, I don't see as well as I used to. There is a lot to be said for a larger faced watch...

Great to start with but didn’t last….

Great GPS/heart rate monitor, worked fine for approx two years but now battery doesn’t hold a charge. Battery will be sat at anything between 65-75% charged and within mintuee and flat and turns itself off. Unusable. Expected a longer life span to be honest. Won’t buy Garmin again

Allergic to watch face
on November 15, 2024
Posted by: Cbm257
Unfortunately I got a nasty blister to the back of the watch face & cannot wear the watch. I wish that companies would use hypoallergenic materials so that everyone can wear them. I’m also allergic to the Apple Watch too, and for both it isn’t the strap it’s the back of the face is where I get a giant red circular skin rash. And it isn’t from sweat because I clean with soap & water every day

This is my second Forerunner 55. Easy to use and provides me with all the key data I need to analyze my runs

Should have done this years ago

I had been trying to make do with a Fitbit for a while, finally gave up on it to get a Garmin. Should have done this years ago! Never fails to get GPS, big display you can read in sunlight, way more features and suggested runs. I would give it 6 stars if I could.

Piece of complicated junk

I returned this piece of complicated junk two days after I bought it. The final straw was when it could not even keep the correct time.
