I got the 45 several years ago and when that one gave out I switched right over to the equivalent 55. It integrates seamlessly into my life with easy notifications, music controls, and of course, tracking diverse activities, all for a very reasonable price. They should start calling it the forerunner 67.

Forerunner 55 a win
I love the simplicity of this watch. It is a great price with everything you need for a great workout and tracking your performance. I pair it with my iPhone and I have the HRM 600. Not sure about the later, but the watch is well worth it. I would honestly say beginners and experts alike could drastically benefit from what this watch provides.

As a new runner this is perfect for me.
The watch wrist band is a bit too small. Could be bigger. Next time I will make sure before I purchase.

Perfect for what I need
Garmin is awesome. I Had forerunner 55 for running that had software and battery issues after a few years and Garmin support was helpful in recognizing that so I was sent a refurbished replacement which had more features than my original one! Love the run workout suggestions so far.

Amazing watch. Would pick over anything.
Hello, I would just like to say that you wanna watch is one of the best watches I’ve ever tried out and I have tried several different brands and it helps me keep track of all the stats that I keep track of for my running channel on TikTok. I would just like to thank you for a simple and elegant watch that does everything I needed to do.

Not for me
I’m returning the 55 because I hate the garmin connection app. The app operates like something from the early 2000s.

Replacing Fitbit, getting used to
I've always been a fan of Fitbit but after Google bought it and changed things, I swore I wouldn't buy another once my current one died. I tried a Garmin once and fought it every step of the way, preferring the Fitbit app and functionality. However, I bit the bullet and went Garmin again out of principal. Things have changed a lot since the last time I tried one and I like it much better this time around. I like the "Battery" charging instead of Sleep Score. This one is not a touch screen, it ha...

Great for beginner
I bought this a little over a month ago and it is a great watch. I am a beginner and wanted it to compliment the new diet and exercise regime I have started. It would great on the program I am on.

Love this watch!
I bought this watch as a beginner runner and I am so grateful that I did. I am currently training for my first 1/2 marathon and it has been so helpful. I just wanted a basic watch that could accurately track my running and lifting workouts. My favorite feature is that it can also track treadmill running accurately.
From Garmin
Just what I needed
I have been a Fitbit customer for over 10 years but needed a replacement and decided on this watch. I am not a runner but enjoy tracking my walks and other activities. This watch is easy to use, has a great battery life and is comfortable to wear. Who knows I may even take up running! Great features and excellent quality!
From Garmin
Awful
Needs to be recharged every night. Will not pair/sync with my iPhone. Just a watch. I can’t get messages, track, my running, count the steps. Figure out how fast I’m running… It’s basically just a watch.

I like that I can see the dial without having to be in the dark. I don't find it easy to choose an activity and I know it's made for runners but I wish it had hiking, Pilates to choose from.
From Garmin
Lots of features
I’ve only had the watch for a couple of weeks but I like it. I had the forerunner 35 previously and loved the simplicity of all. But this watch does have a ton more features. For example it gives me a planned workout when I want to run. It only takes a couple of buttons hit and it’s ready to do whatever. The battery lasts forever which nice. The alarm clock has a snooze. I’m sure there are lots more features but they are the ones that stand out in my head. One more thing that’s a bit diffe...

Best thing I’ve ever purchased
I never thought I’d love a running watch. I don’t take it off now. It’s changed my entire life. I actually know I’m making progress now. I’m a #GarminGuy
