    Love my Garmin!

    I was a Fitbit user forever. I got tired of how inaccurate it was. Didn't track miles or times correctly. Tried Garmin and I love it. I will never go back.

    Great for running!

    I bought this with running in mind and it did not disappoint. I appreciate the long battery life to make charging less of a hassle. I also like that I only need to press a couple buttons to start and finish run. The heartbeat, VO2 max information, and GPS mapping is useful for me.

    Nice watch, but...

    I bought the Garmin Forerunner 55 about 7 months ago. Overall, I like this watch, as it is my third Garmin watch. But, one problem had been charging it. At about 5 months I had a few problems getting it to charge, as well as to sync with Garmin Express. At 7 months it has become very hard to charge and sync. My previous watch, the 45, took 2.5 years to have this problem.

    Sturdy

    It started poring down rain on me a week ago and it worked great in the rain. Usually when my fitbit would get wet it would stop working but the Garmin worked great and didn't have an issue at all.

    Loved Garmin, not the model for me

    I bought this and ended up wearing it in conjunction with my Apple watch for about a week. I ended up falling in love with Garmin, but the watch itself did not feature enough “smart” features for me to want to sacrifice my Apple Watch. I ended up returning and ordering the Venu which has been the best of both worlds! I’m a Garmin convert but this wasn’t the model for me

    Accurate Measurements

    I have only had this a couple weeks but the accuracy is so much better than the app I was using on my phone. The directions are hard to understand as the control buttons are very small and hard to read the labels but overall I am very happy.

    Horrible device

    I used it for 5 days I am really sorry but at this price Apple Watch is far better, besides the battery part this device has nothing to offer, no gps, no navigation, extremely cheap quality band, my friend has a watch from temu, that thing has better quality and it gives more accurate data. If you are investing in a watch do not invest in this one, Apple or Samsung.

    Time to be a great runner?

    I didn't buy this to be a great runner. I don't run; haven't run since high school. I use it to count steps, my heart rate and my activity minutes. I buy Garmin because they can go in the water. I like to do water activities. How about adjusting your products for someone like me who isn't as active but would still like to track what they do?

    Super Long-Lasting Battery

    I bought this to replace my 45 forerunner. I run up to 30 miles a week, and these base models provide everything I could need or want. I’m not a competitive runner, but an athlete as a lifestyle. What sets this 55 forerunner apart is its long-lasting battery: two whole weeks, as opposed to its predecessor’s mere few days. If you don’t need all the fancy bells and whistles of the significantly more expensive models, most of whose own batteries won’t last this long, then I highly recommend this model. Get the acqua color!

    So far I love it!

    My forerunner 35 broke at the band so I had to upgrade. I love that I can adjust the face to show everything I used to have to toggle to…steps, heart rate, miles, and I still get texts and weather updates.

    I like it but, I think the perfect tracker would have and ankle strap to go with it, so when you are carrying something it will continue to calculate.
