Exceedingly functional watch for the price. Everything you need to track a standard run/ride/hike-type workout.

A Very Good Running Watch

My Forerunner 45 was no longer holding its charge through a full marathon, so I updated to the Forerunner 55.
It has everything I need to train at an affordable price. You can get more bells and whistles in a higher grade, pricier model, but if you don't need it, this garmin will do fine: I have it set up to give heart rate, current pace, distance, overall pace, and in lap distance and in lap pace.
I have to look at options to see if there is an elevation ascent widget I can add in. My next marathon has more climbing profile than my typical marathon, so I'm trying to train to specific uphill needs.

Looks and feels great!

I like this watch, though it’s a bit slow to let me save the activity after completing it. I was also annoyed by the suggested runs, and how it would interrupt my run to tell me my pace was off, from a suggested run that I hadn’t agreed to. I had to end the activity and start a new one to get a run without the pace suggestions. Then next time I ran, I was able to bypass the suggested run before I started and thankfully I haven’t seen the suggested runs again.
