Great smartwatch

I have used my Forerunner 55 for about a month now. I had a Fitbit previously and this watch is far superior. Granted the Fitbit only gave me my steps and sleep patterns. I am enjoying all the features of the 55. Receiving text and phone calls is one that I really like. I am still learning how to navigate through all the features, but it is fun finding all the neat things this watch does.

Where as the app was not as intuitive as my Fitbit was (I used Fitbit for roughly 10 years), now that I have had this tracker for a few months I would highly recommend it. I chose this one to mainly track walks, rucks, and workouts (maybe running if I get that far) and I would say that so far one of my favorite features is the stress detector and the body battery to help track energy and personal stressors. I also really like that it is NOT a touch screen! I actually appreciate the buttons to move through the options and data.
Now that I'm used to how the app is set up, I would say that I like it a lot better than my previous Fitbit trackers and the Fitbit app.

I like it but just in case y’all didn’t know it isn’t touch screen, you get notifications and calls but cannot answer them because the phone doesn’t have a touch screen or a microphone. Great for tracking runs and all that though and has a lot of activities. No games though.

The time dial in bright sun is hard to see. Also there should be a way ti enlarge the print for various screens

Great Watch for the money.

Needed a smaller and less feature active Garmin watch to track my steps. This thing is perfect for that and I can seamless transition to my larger more robust garmin watch when I want. Definitely a buy if you need a watch with less 'features' but is digital and does all the basics and lives in the garmin ecosytem

This is my third, and favorite Garmin watch. As a runner it has everything I need and not a bunch of stuff I don’t. Also very user friendly.
