My mom got me this for Christmas and it’s the best . It’s so lightweight sometimes I forget it’s on my arms.

I Got this watch as a Christmas gift from some family and I'm glad I did! It was a little confusing to work in the beginning but I's amazing now! I have dropped so much time off of my PR.

Couldn't be happier. It has a few more options which is more than what I needed.

Lots of Function … Too much?
on January 4, 2025

I bought the Forerunner 55 to replace my 15 which finally wore out. The 15 was Start, Stop , Save with time and distance. That’s all I wanted. I still haven’t figured out how to accomplish that simple task with the 55. I stood out in the freezing cold the other day trying to get it to start. There were lots of confusing screens that got in the way. Finally, I just said oh well and started running without tracking. I suspect this is more my problem than the watch’s problem. I own several Garmin products from run, bike, and marine and all are top notch.

Love the watch!

I’ve had my Forerunner 55 a few weeks and it’s been great for running and counting steps. I’m overall very pleased with it. The only negative is how often I have to charge it, even when I’m not using the GPS. It runs low enough that I’m charging it daily.

difficult to reset to clock face
on January 8, 2025
Posted by: kenv267
I have found it very difficult to re-set to clock face. have to turn off and on and then does not always reset. Don't have a manual, so not sure what is the problem. Wife gave it to me for Christmas. no manual, unless you can read the very fine print
