    Great simple watch

    If you’re looking for a simple no frills watch, this is it. I was looking at upgrading from my Apple Watch but didn’t want too many features just needed to map my runs. I recommend this watch for the simplicity and convenience.

    Can’t imagine running without it.

    I have been running for 45 years. I couldn’t imagine I would ever be more dedicated and motivated, but I was wrong. Since wearing my Garmin my running has been gone through the roof. I have 715 running activities for 7811.1 miles. Now I can’t imagine running without it.

    A basic running watch - I still recommend for newer runners.

    Initially had some issues with recording, the distance calculations were pretty far off two other running/gps watches. After a couple of resets it was performing better, but it was annoying that it didn't work after the first initial setup. Overall this is a decent introductory running watch that doesn't have all the bells and whistles of some of the fancier ones. Obvious statement I'm making here but at it's price point it does have the benefit of recording activity that just wasn't readily available 20 years ago.

    Love the battery life

    Just stepped up from Forerunner 45 and I like the battery life on the 55 much better w/o the extra features the watch has being too complicated for my lack of patience. After first charge I went 13 days wearing it 24/7 and using it to track my runs, and it still had 18% battery life. Love this watch

    55

    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.
    1 reply from Care team - 17 days ago
    You may be experiencing connection and sync issues if you have more than one device paired to a single smartphone. There can be issues communicating with the app when you are using multiple accounts on one app. I would recommend using a different mobile device such as a tablet, or Garmin Express on your computer.

    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

    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.

    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.
