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.

We recommend ensuring that your Forerunner's system software is up to date using Garmin Express, a free desktop application available for download here: http://ms.spr.ly/6421tDupN If your watch is having trouble powering back on, use the steps in this Garmin Support Center article to troubleshoot: http://ms.spr.ly/6422tDup4 If you continue to experience any issues, please use that same article and see the "Contact Us for More Help" link at the bottom to get in touch with Garmin Product Support.

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.

I would recommend taking a look at your backlight settings to ensure that it is properly configured while using the watch in different scenarios. With this watch there can be two different backlight settings on the watch. One during an activity and one without. Below will be a link with instructions on how to check the backlight settings. http://ms.spr.ly/6425t8tpU

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.

Good value, nice features
Wasn't looking for cutting edge, replacing a similar watch but everything was touch screen. I actually like the various buttons to access menu items. Good battery life, easy to set up and has most of the features you need.

Yes!
I love it for the step count and tracking my workouts! I have noticed the heart rate can be a little erratic at times. For example when I'm walking it will be reading really low. I also have noticed for sleep it records almost no REM sleep. Overall though it is great! It helps me stay motivated and push myself more to stay healthy.

Great watch until the battery starts failing.
This is a great watch until after about a year and a half, the watch would not hold the charge and as time is goes on, the battery runs out quicker and quicker. From holding a charge for approximately 10 days to two weeks when first purchased, the watch now hold a charge for about four days. Not happy with this feature at all. Otherwise the watch function is beautifully.
