Good enough
I like it but I don't love it. It malfunctioned the other day and I didn't understand how to fix it. I wanted something simple and this is more complex than I need.

Exchange forerunner for forerunner
Quick prompt and clear instructions and options offered to my question. I got a like new device in return for a great price. I hope my old watch is refurbished and serves someone else well down the line. Thanks!

Doesn’t work for long
I got this watch for my birthday and everything was working fine but all of a sudden the heart rate and body battery do not work no matter what I’ve tried. Ive tried emailing them but never got a response. The main reason I got this watch was for heart rate so I’m very dissatisfied.

Better than Apple Watch
So far so good. I bought this to replace my Apple Watch series 10 and so far like the Garmin much better!
From Garmin
SO disappointed
Sadly I had lots of issues with everything: logging my miles, clearing the data, watch faces, turning it off.-so I returned it.

Needs improvement.
I purchased the Forerunner 55 after my Forerunner 45 was showing signs of needing to be replaced. After I was able to delete the training segment on the watch, I am happier with the watch. When I chose running as the activity, I didn't like the countdown and not being able to see the distance,elapsed time and pace as I was running and walking. I couldn't find anything in the manual to tell how to get rid of the training segment. I finally figured out myself.

Durable, functional, and easy to use
I have had this watch for almost 5 years. It's extremely easy to use, durable, and functional. GPS is extremely accurate and it still holds a charge for a couple of days depending on my activity levels. The 4 out of 5 stars is due to the fact that I have to manually add all of the data for rowing. Also, there is no way to add exercises to a manual addition of strength moves, and the list is limited. I would give it an actual 4-1/2 stars out of 5. Overall, it's a great watch for the money.

Great features but watchface needs imprv
So far I like my new garmin watch. Only 4 stars because the watch face colors and crispness are not as good as the amazafit.

An older Forerunner 55 user.
I've had a Forerunner 55 for a long time. The original one I had recently needed charging twice a week or so. Garmin sold me a reconditioned one to replace it. I don't recall why I bought the 1st one, but I recently depend on mine to monitor my heart rate because I have started having asymptomatic arrhythmia. I am nearly 80 years old. Being able to check on my heart rate at a glance is REALLY useful to me.

Easy to use! But just one problem!
I bought this and I was really excited overall this watch has been great!!! My one regret is that it can't connect to my lap top! And my phone is a Samsung! What would make it so much easier to use is if y'all made the Garmin Connect app available to use on a Laptop, chrome book, computer, and etc.

Too complex for a Boomer
I actually prefer my old Forerunner, which seemed much ssimpler. Perhaps if Garmin supplied initial instructions that were written in non-geek speak, I'd have caught on to this one more quickly. Eventually I did find the controls for the only 2 things I need -- the time, and how many steps I have in the bank. But this watch (and for all I know, all of them)has so many combinations and permutations: if you start pressing the buttons you can get hopelessly lost and there doesn't seem to be any on...

Perfect low end
After a lifelong Garmin user, I left my MARQ Athlete. Ready to wear regular watches, but wanted a Garmin for runs, the 55 is perfect, low price point and has the basics!
From Garmin
Good entry level watch. Covers running swimming and bike.
