Forerunner 55, GPS Running Watch with Daily Suggested Workouts, Up to 2 Weeks of Battery Life, Black - 010-02562-00

I’ve always used garmin watches. Love the size, shape appearance of the watch face. The band is comfortable also. So far the battery life is quite good. Display is great and to read. It’s a bit different than my last one, but easy to figure out the options.

My absolute favorite running watch (I upgraded from a different Garmin). The functions (button controls on the side of the watch) may take a little time to learn, but it's not difficult. The GPS is extremely accurate and all of the information from the watch syncs quickly to the Garmin App. I've worn it in all kinds of weather and different types of races and have never had a problem. Pretty strong battery life, too, but out of habit, I do charge it every night. Looks nice and the adjustable band ensures a perfect fit! Really great running watch, and I know I'm not even taking advantage of everything it offers yet.

Great watch, I use this everyday and only need to charge like twice a month. The alarm vibrations don’t get me up as easily in the mornings as my Apple Watch, but that’s the ONLY complaint. It shows all notifications, but I only like seeing calls and texts on here, and tracks my runs and workouts great. Does NOT have strength training options like the 265 or Fenix series, but that’s alright, I use HIIT for weights and can change it in the app if I want to track more specifically what I did. It had about two weeks of this weird Bluetooth connection, it was connected to my phone but showed a code like it needed to connect to something, restarted it a couple times and it’s been gone for about a month or more now.

what a great investment! couldn't find it yesterday. threw in a load of laundry and forgot it. oops. ran thru an entire wash cycle. expected it to be kaputz! like it never happened. working great. love this watch. major step up from the generic brand I got off amazon. really in-depth data. this isn't a fancier garmin. very nuts and bolts. but its utilitarian. and gets the job done.

Good sports watch. Buttons work as expected. No touch screen means no unintended mistakes. Connects to my chest heart rate sensor via Ant+. Connects to Strava. Battery life is better than other watches (due to no touch screen, dimmer display), though as expected the marketing material is overzealous. I get maybe five days of battery life. I think the product details claim 14 days. I am giving a review at the four-month mark. Worked great so far but now the charging cable needs to be wiggled just right for the electrical contact to happen.

My husband loves this watch. He’s been training for his marathon and this watch tracks EVERYTHiNG!!! Perfect for runners or active people.

*** I've been using this watch for 3-years (& 1-month) now. It still works great and I still have zero regrets! I even got one of my sons to buy the same model. *** ------------------------------- Original 11-month review: Thanks to this watch, I was able to drop the 20+ pounds I put on during my post-covid depression. It got me moving again and whereas the original daunting number of 10k steps in a day made me nervous, I now walk around 23k steps daily without even thinking about it. The challenges on the app have helped me move from my former weight loss goals to my present toning ones and suffice it to say, all of this has helped tremendously with my mental health as well. As for the watch features, I was looking at all sorts of brands and all kinds of models and settled on this one and never looked back. I needed a time teller, a pedometer and a heart rate monitor, in no specific order. I received all of those and more with this wrist decor. Not only does the watch look nice and feel weightless on my skin when adjusted correctly, but it works so well at everything it was made to. The heart rate monitor is very accurate when compared with other heart rate monitoring devices. The watch is simple to clean although I was afraid of damaging something whilst attempting to clear out the 'gunk' around the plug-in site. I didn't purchase the watch for the sleep related feature but it is an interesting bonus. After roughly 9-10 months of continuous 24-hour use, I finally started noticing it act up during my treadmill workouts. My heart rate would drop to 0 and at one point I saw it jump to 248. Since I wasn't dead or dying during any of these times, I thought I'd start turning it off at night and I haven't noticed the issue since. It could have just been an error that required an update but like I said, I didn't buy for the sleep feature anyhow. The battery life is pretty good I'd say. When I told my husband one day that I should 'charge my watch tonight because it's been a couple weeks' he was really surprised. I keep track on my exercise calendar whenever I feel the need to plug in, which I do during the night so it doesn't interrupt my steps during the day. I normally charge once it hits somewhere in the 10-19 percentile. This takes (me specifically) about two weeks to accomplish, with roughly an hour and a half, minimum, of recorded activities at least five days a week and the watch otherwise just being turned on consistently. Of course, there are extra outings that warrant using the start button once in a while and yet I still find my charge schedule to remain the same. You can choose from a variety of watch faces that come standard but I definitely have enjoyed looking through the Garmin store at other options. The background I've used for quite some time now shows the moon in its current phase and as a lifetime star gazer, this is a face I was more than happy to throw money at. I spent just a few dollars and received something around 10 different looks, several animated such as plants or flowers that grow or open as you complete your steps for the day- amazing, if you like that sort of thing, turns out I do. Overall, I love my watch and I hope it lasts me a good, long time but if and when it finally dies from time cancer, I'll be sure to replace it with another Garmin!

Like the One Ring, my fitbit chose to leave my arm art some point in time and move on to another person or be lost in the mists of time. I wasn't sure I wanted another of those and saw this Garmin and thought I would give it a try. I have had it over a month now and I love it. I should have gotten one of these years ago. I like the display much better and battery life can't be beat. Seems to do all I need better, too. I can highly recommend.

Good cheap entry level running watch, heart rate, ect. Screen is on the smaller but it works well ad easy to read.

Good service

Excelente, sem palavras!

Good quality product and still working well. Highly recommend.

As expected from the Garmin, pretty good especially the battery backup, i haven't charged yet, it came out of the box with 90%, i have been walking and running and other activities like breath, HIIT(high-intensity interval training), past 4 days i have not take it off this watch from my wrist, still battery 49%. i do own apple watch series 6 Nike Edition but need to charge every day for sure and if i ran more than 6K or 7K in day, it will drain pretty soon, thats why i took this and heart rate also very good, which similar to polar heart strap. finally it's a Sport watch not completely smart watch but it has some of the smart watch features, like getting notifications but in one way you can't give reply from the watch, just you can see.
