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.

Very flexible. Good value. Not very bright so difficult to view outdoors. I hoped for the ability to view Time, Seconds, Elevation, Ambient Temperation, & Battery Status on one screen but I haven’t been able to find a face that can do that. Great for a runner, not as good for a hiker or hunter.
Literally got this watch in 5th grade…

I’m a sophomore now, and this watch STILL works! And really well too! It’s simple, not too complex, and does the job perfectly. Couldn’t and wouldn’t buy another watch.
Sadly, I returned it.

My Forerunner 35 broke and I was told this was similar watch. I don't need alot of features, but the first problem was no matter how bright I made the watch face to read it was not bright enough. The 5 buttons were to much for me. I am a huge Garmin fan and will try another watch in the future.
Forerunner 55 is great

I love my new 55 it works fantastic, got a lot to learn with it, and it works well with the app. My only complaint is that I wish it had a backlight, it makes it very difficult to see anything.
Easy to set up

After more than 10 years with the 630, it finally stopped working. What a shame! It was my great companion. It had everything I wanted plus way more features that I did not need nor use. I bought the 55 out of necessity so I was surprised it was not touchscreen. I am still getting used to the buttons. We shall see.
It’s a great watch for beginners

I love my watch as beginner/intermediate fitness enthusiast. I can track my running, walking, biking, HIIT on this. I have ditched Apple Watch since I start using this. It’s has good battery life 5-7 days. Looks amazing and is lighter than the other watches I have used before.
Excellent Product

I bought this watch as a motivator to get back into running after many years of falling out of love with the sport/exercise, and it has changed everything for me. I am happily running again, more than ever, and it was changed around my dieting habits and exercise habits. My body is back to feeling better, stronger, and healthier. I couldn't recommend a product more. This watch was perfect for me, and if this one is not for you, there is Garmin product that probably would suite your needs better.

I love this watch except it will not record my sleep no matter what I do. I’ve tried everything Garmin has suggested, I even wore it tighter and woke up with my hand asleep. Not sure if I will keep it.
Spend more money

I bought this FR 55 last month. It picks up satellites faster than my FR 235 did. It has more modes like walking. I finally used my wife's kayak and used my FR 55 too record that paddling event.
