I bought this a few weeks ago and it’s become a staple in my day to day. I think this is great for beginner runners who also have an interest in health and fitness tracking without the data overload.

Not worth money
I bought this about a month ago. It doesn’t Bluetooth to my apple 16 iPhone. Have had apple try att try nothing works. Wasted money. Love garmin when it works but this was a big mistake.

Forerunner 55 review
This is a great watch for someone that is new to running and like to keep things simple. One of the main reasons I pick this one is how simple it is with out a ton of apps I don’t want this watch allowed me to focus on my goals that’s most important to me. And with the app it works so well together. Also love that I can go over a week without having to charge it makes things so much easier. If you are one that cares a ton about health and performance and doesn’t want a ton of unnecessary apps li...

The brightness
I'm very happy with the watch but I it's very hard for me to see it
From Garmin
Awful
After an extremely tedious setup, I realized this product is for runners. ONLY. Not the fitness watch I thought I'd bought. There is no reversing options, once it thought I was "running" there was no way to reverse it. Definitely not. Going back.

Overpriced
Not a good watch for the price, feels and looks like a cheap watch. Only good thing going for it is the HR and GPS

Forerunner 55
Perfect size and style smart watch. Use it for tracking workouts, steps, sleep, and many other features. Great to be able to see notifications and messages even when phone isn’t around. For the price and technology it’s a great Garmin starter watch.

Decent watch. Definitely feels like a downgrade from my instinct solar 2. I hope this one lasts longer. I had to replace my instinct solar 2 and couldn’t justify paying the price every two years. I miss my old watch but this does a lot of basic functions. It has a solid battery life and tracks workouts pretty solid. It feels well made and hasn’t broken on me yet. I don’t think I’d buy it again but that’s mostly a garmin issue.

Enjoyable with an awesome battery life!
This is my second one due to my band breaking in an unrepairable spot. Love both of them continue to be impressed by the great battery life they have. Highly recommend them!

Perfect watch for me.
I had a Forerunner 35 for several years. I was looking to step up but I didn't want a bunch of bells and whistles I wouldn't use. So far, the Forerunner 55 is perfect.

Amazing battery life
I own the newest Apple Watch, have had Fitbit and some other knock off fitness watches and they do not compare to this one. The battery life is INSANE… I charge it once every 14-16 days. For that it surpasses any other watch I have owned.

Disappointed
I have had it less than a month and it has stopped working. It seems to be frozen. Was really excited in the beginning.

Hand-me-down from teenage son
My teenage son upgraded his Garmin Forerunner 55 watch with one that has more triathlon features and asked me if I wanted his old 55. I told him I’m not a runner, but he said you can track more than running. So, I’ve been wearing it for almost four weeks and LOVE it! It tracks my time on the elliptical, walking, weights, etc, heart rate, steps, stress, etc. It even has routines for stretching, dumbbells, and yoga. This is not just for the young!

Good
I’m in love and really obsessed with this little watch.

verstile and durable
I bought 3 for my family and each of us has customized it for our specific needs. We've been able to reach step goals, practice better sleeping habits, & set up/monitor high/low abnormal heartrate alerts that remind us to focus on stress-reduction practices. Paired with the app it has helped us keep active and engaged with each other's location and activities. The 'Challenge' section keeps us in touch with relatives. It works well in the pool and shower; just be sure to let the wristband dry tho...

Forerunner 55
I bought this a few weeks ago to replace my Forerunner 45S. I was a bit apprehensive because technology and I don't always play well together! But it is easy to navigate and it is fun to wear.
