Has allot of features
on April 9, 2024
Posted by: ONEL
I bought the what in white when I got an email with it on sale. I did some research and comparison to my Venu3 and decided it had a couple features my venue didn’t. I have a certain screen that displays allot of data and it isn’t as vivid on the 955 as the Venu3. I have a small wrist and really like the watch band compare to the others, it provides more options with more security of staying on.

I was on the fence about upgrading but I’m really glad I did. Much nicer screen and I actually like the touch feature.

So far, it is great!

I bought the Forerunner 955 Solar about a month ago when I misplaced my Instinct Solar, thinking it would definitely show up once I ordered something new—well, not yet. So far, I really like it better with the color graphics, etc. It seems pretty intuitive to use, too. As for solar, the Instinct held a charge for weeks, but the Forerunner needs charging more frequently. It is not a big deal, however, to place it on the charger while I shower. I have not used all the bells and whistles yet, but the online manual has been great for figuring out how to access things I know I want to use.

Definitely better than a step up from Frrnnr 945

Less dropped laps. Holding the charge longer (albeit some of that is the newer btty). The better position of lights on wrist make it much less likely for those lazers to abruptly interrupt my sleep... so now I can wear it overnight. Adjusting favorites (in/out) still a mystery... plan time to do it, and keep those steps for when you need them again... unless you enjoy the website webbing of instructions. Overall, Glad to have it with me.

I bought the solar Forerunner 955 a month ago. Solar recharge is fantastic when exploring remote areas. I have just begun exploring all its functions, but the basics—wear and go—are simply awesome, enhancing my everyday living.

The BEST watch!!
on April 24, 2024
Posted by: Anonymous
I had a Vivoactive for over 10 years and I spent months looking into its replacement. I wanted a watch that could support my active lifestyle, was stylist but super functional and long lasting. The 955 Solar (Forerunner) is the best watch I could have have ever asked for. I swim 2-3 miles/week, run 10-15 miles/week, and bike between 15-30 miles/week and this watch definitely keeps up. The only thing I wish it tracked better was my swim distance during my kick sets (has stroke detection so when not using your arms it doesn’t track) but the watch has built in music so you can listen to music without running or carrying your phone.
Overall, very satisfied with this watch. Send me another for FR$$ :)

I upgraded from an Instinct Solar to this model and I love it. Battery life is great. GPS detection is pretty fast. The UI is similar. Overall a great watch. Highly recommend!

Nothing works
on May 1, 2024

I just received my watch and in the process of setting it up, I guess all of Garmin crashed. Or at least all the apps stopped working mid set up and now my watch only tells time, ironically.
