I have been wearing a forerunner for over 10 years. My last was was forerunner 735. I loved that it lasted 8 years. I didn’t want to spend a whole lot of money, so I bought the 55. I do like it very much. The only thing I do not like is the size. The circumference of the face is smaller and so is the band. But that’s my fault that I did not look at this before I bought it. I use it for tracking running and my daily exercise. I would definitely recommend.

Connection problems
Me and my sibling share a phone and have identical watches but after a little my data stops showing up on my account and syncing again doesn’t work even fully resetting my watch only fixes it briefly.

Solid starter watch, works great - menu a tad confusing
Only used about 2 months, fantastic amount of info from this thing on runs. I find moving around on the watch interface a bit tough at times but for the price this watch is wonderful value. Would recommend.

Simple & Easy to use!
I bought this for my cross country & track team a couple months ago and oh boy I am glad I did! Very easy to use and very simple! The reason I took away a star is because on the track doing my running a workout. It would come out to 810 meters or 1620 meters even though I only ran 800m and 1600m. Not exactly accurate on the track but other than that it is 100% amazing

Hate it
I should have bought a fitbit that is so much easier to use and track workouts, sleep, cardio functions, etc. Big mistake in buying this. Hate it.

거리,심박수 런닝에 적합해요.
구매한지 9개월정도 됫어요. 예전에45고장나서 이제 55를 쓰게 되네요. 가성비 있어서 좋아요. 하지만 고도에 대해서는 정확하진 않아요. 거리에 대해서는 정확해요. 45는 스트랩 파는곳이 별로 없어서 불편하고 중국산이 잘 부서지고 해서 싫엇어요. 55의 스트랩은 파는곳이 많아 좋아요. 튼튼해요. 하지만 예전 45보다는 기능이 축소화된거같아서 아쉽네요

Good display
I bought the Forerunner after my Vivosport 4 stopped working. I love the display on the Forerunner, easier to see as I'm working out. It also connects faster to my iPhone than the Vivosport. I've only had it for a month but so far I really like it.

LOVE
I think that this watch is great for beginners and has a lot of great features that are easy to work. I do wish that the sleep setting was better when you could turn it on when you take a nap or go to bed earlier or later than your set sleep time. I think that would be more accurate.

My watch to help me climb a mountain
I bought my watch before climbing South Sister which is 10350 ft. It tracked all my steps perfectly. I love it.

5/5
It works great and does everything that I need it to do which is time my runs and give me a pace. I would recommend. However, when I clear a notification, it glitches. But overall I love it and would buy again if needed.

Forerunner 55
The watch is very stylish, lightweight, connects well with the app. The navigating on the watch is very clumsy difficult to navigate, and the display is not bright at all, when you wear the watch in sunlight, it’s easy to see, but while you’re inside a building, it’s hard to see even with it set up to glow in dark settings. Good news it’s not an expensive watch, but you get what you pay for.

Forerunner55
I’m training for the Disney races and this was the best purchase I’ve ever made! I love the pacepro option on it!
From Garmin
Perfect for daily running, races, and light cycling
Very easy to use for my daily runs and for some cycling commutes. Has tons of stats and info that I need along with some additional stuff. I wish that there were more activity options that I did not have to download, and music would be nice but that might just have to be part of an upgrade further down the road.
