Silly
on May 15, 2024
Posted by: MattR21
I think it’s kind of silly how much people use these smart watches, and get inaccurate data that they actually try using. I basically got the watch to have music without carrying my phone. It does do that. However the day I received it, Garmin was down. Like the site, apps, everything. So my initial experience was pretty bad, when nothing works, the actual minute you get the watch. And seriously, you guys have so many forms of data that aren’t even accurate. Why even waste time on that? You cannot give me an accurate VO2Max. It also has no idea what a real workout is, which makes me wonder who is even making these watches. But it does actually do the things I wanted. GPS and music. But the rest is just shiny objects that make people believe things about their fitness levels that aren’t true.

Forerunner 955 solar
on June 15, 2024
Posted by: PatJ
I’ve had it for 2 months. The map feature is nice. Not quite as bright as I expected but sufficient. The watch charges really good when you’re biking. Not as good while hiking/walking but still does- the angle to the Sun I’m guessing? I had trouble when we went to Europe and entered different time zones. I tried syncing with WiFi but couldn’t get it to automatically adjust even though it is set up that way in my settings and wouldn’t align like my iPhone automatically did. Had to manually change the times.
I don’t use the running features but there are quite a few for training. Overall I really like the look and features of the watch and am happy with my purchase.

Awesome watch!...hands down!

Out of the box was able to see the manufacturing quality right away. Long life battery, awesome display and incredibly light on weight Watch combines great looks with pretty much all the features needed for an active lifestyle across all activities ( running, traik, hiking, walking, crosstraining, HIIT, etc). Highly recommend it, either if your a seasoned Garmin user or first time buyer...you won't regret it.

Better than my Apple Watch

Can’t believe how much better this watch is for training than the watch. I run and bike and this thing is great and pairs easily with my garmin bike computer. This thing lives up to the hype

Great fitness watch

I love my Forerunner 955 Solar. It does everything I need. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is I wish the face was slightly larger. Otherwise it is the best watch I own.

nice watch, lasts about 13 days before needing to charge. the screen is a lot bigger than i had expected though so it looks very large on my wrist.
