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

So long as you don't try to change what's shown on the screen it's ok. A bit slow finding satellites however. Swimming recording poor...also doesn't seem to count laps of a pool

This watch needs better backlighting for screen clarity. I’m really happy with the battery life. I don’t have to charge it before going to bed so I can monitor my sleep quality.
Great features, easy to use!

This is my third, and favorite Garmin watch. As a runner it has everything I need and not a bunch of stuff I don’t. Also very user friendly.
Great Watch for the money.

Needed a smaller and less feature active Garmin watch to track my steps. This thing is perfect for that and I can seamless transition to my larger more robust garmin watch when I want. Definitely a buy if you need a watch with less 'features' but is digital and does all the basics and lives in the garmin ecosytem
