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!

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.
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 different. When I first got the watch the band kept backing out of the watch band holder. It didn’t seem to stay very long no matter how tight I made it. I ended up reversing the band. It is a bit harder to put it on myself but it doesn’t come out of the holder.
Best thing I’ve ever purchased

This watch while having lots of nice features is the most complex to use. It is not as easy to use as an apple or Fitbit.

Look no further as this is the only watch you need to get started for any activity. The new amoled screen is amazing and the battery life is great. It gets all of the basic needs done with activity tracking and heart rate monitoring it works great. I would definetley recommend this for any begginer looking for a watch to get started with.

I bought this a month ago as a replacement for my previous running watch. I run Cross Country, and I compared my watch with other higher-end watches. I was delighted to find that it was extremely accurate and easy to use. I would recommend this watch to anyone wanting a simple, easy to use running watch that doesn't bust the bank, and yet is still very accurate. I am super happy with my purchase!

I had a Garmin Forerunner 35 which I loved for close to 10 years. It stopped working so I bought the 55. I am still trying to get used to it. It is not as easy to set up and use as the 35. I do not think it is as accurate. Maybe it is connecting to a different satellite?? I kind of wished I would have gotten the forerunner 35 instead.
