I have had the Forerunner 55 for two weeks and it is finally doing everything I want it to, and has mostly stopped doing things I don't want it to. It may seem strange, but I actually like to use my running watch for running. So when I want to start running and the watch starts suggesting workouts, it really interferes with the intended function. Silly me did not realize that you actually have to SELECT the suggested workout so you can stop the suggestions. Meanwhile, I have not figured out how to stop the tips from popping up. Remind me of the old MS Windows paperclip that got in the way when you were trying to work. All of this is a critique of the software, not the watch. The watch itself is just fine. Easy to read. I was even able to get the clock face looking how I want (I chose analog). It picks up satellites quickly, easy to charge, and the battery life is very good. I have it paired with my phone and everything seems to be working how I want. I have loaded workouts onto the watch. The 55 seems to lack a few options (Cannot load a "custom" workout, and cannot opt out of final rest in an interval set - but these shortcomings are not a problem for me at all). I like the watch size and strap.

Besides the classic running and exercise features, the one that blowedmy mind was the breathing feature (stress). It helps to relax and calm down. It alerted me that I forgot to keep breathing, hahaha! That was something great!
It’s just ok

I’ve had many Garmin watches. Got this for my special needs son to monitor his sleep, health, etc. The flashy marketing info describes sleep monitor. body battery, etc. Well that’s if you take the watch off and connect it to your computer and go to Garmin Express. Too much of a pain and hassle. So I returned this watch. Also didn’t like its not touch screen and has FIVE buttons you’ve got to learn what each does. My others have two. Overall not a fan of
Great watch

Sleep tracking innacuracy

I have found that my sleep logs inaccurately it will say I’m asleep hours before I am if I’m laying in bed on my phone and will extend my sleep until I physically get out of bed it does not realize I am awake. Throughout the day it will add random sleep time as well from minutes to hours that is not “updating to be accurate” but instead adding random time on either end of my sleep cycle. The watch will all me also that I get little to no deep sleep and nearly half and half light and rem which feels wrong but maybe is just how I sleep? I can imagine that’s right especially along with the other sleep inaccuracies. I’ve only had my watch a couple weeks and am hoping it will adjust/calibrate in time to me? The garmin watch is great for a new runner to track everything else but not sleep which I was looking forward to.

I bought the forerunner 55 and was disjointed by the face. It was very hard to see on 100 and could not read the words on the screen. Returned it the day after buying jt.

I am 78 years old. I have been using the Forerunner 55 for 4 years. When I get up each morning, I want to see my sleep metrics and my body battery first. This information helps me decide what I can reasonably accomplish that day. I love this thing. Ron
I love so much

This watch was a serious upgrade from the Garmin Forerunner 45. Although it's very similar, it has been a huge improvement for me in recording my runs and training to the best of my ability. The screen is great and lights up well when running in the dark. This watch works great for all levels of users, and I would advise anyone looking for a watch who doesn't want to go too crazy for their first device, this is an amazing option.

I got this watch a month ago. Had a Forerunner 110 before, which died. have not yet been able to explore all the features because the manual that come with it is incomplete and inadequate. The manual is 109 pages long in a tiny font, and only 15 are in English. The other 90+ pages are in various languages I don't read. Completely useless to me. If you simply used all that excess space for more detailed instructions in the language of the buying user, it would be great. Should be able to do that. I should not have to go online to figure out clockfaces, or how to get back to my clockface after a run, or how to use the other features, etc. Other than that, this is a great watch. I love the size, I love the accuracy, and the Connect website
AMAZING WATCH!

Battery lasts forever, I use it constantly to track activities and as my wake up alarm. Love that you can switch the screensaver, super handy when travelling to upload a watch face that shows several different time zones. Very easy to use and set up, I also bought one for my teenage son and he never takes it off. I find the step count to be very accurate and its waterproof which is a bonus as well.
Amazing Value
