Too complicated
on December 7, 2024
Posted by: Runnergrl
I purchased this Garmin because my previous one would show total pace as well as current pace. I wanted to be able to glance at my watch and see these stats and not have to flip through buttons on a run. I had trouble synching this also to the Bluetooth. Watch was flimsy and relatively delicate. Directions were poor and needed to be more comprehensive.

Love this watch

This is the first of the running watches I’ve bought. I absolutely love it. I enjoy the training features and its ease of use. I’m not the most technologically savvy of people and this watch was pretty streamlined and easy for me to figure out.

Clunky and awkward navigation
on December 8, 2024
Posted by: Wwwhtmlcom
I bought the forerunner 55 to replace my Fitbit versa to get compatibility with a phone app. I found another similar app that works with my versa2. My short time using the forerunner 55 convinced me to avoid watches with button navigation. In the future I’ll only use watches with touchscreen navigation.

I like it!

Quite a learning curve for me going from the Forerunner 35 to the 55. Had to enlist the help of my "rocket scientist" friend! HA! Too many features for me ... all I need it for is to tell me how far I went and how long it took me to get there. But it does that quite well!

band keeper should have knobs on both sides

I just like to point out that the band keeper has this knob to keep the excess band from flapping. I wish the next product improvement would consider adding 2 knobs to hold the band even more. I have small wrist and the band still flaps. Thank you Garmin.
