Garmin 010-02562-00 Forerunner 55, GPS Running Watch with Daily Suggested Workouts, Up to 2 weeks of Battery Life, Black

The only watch like this Ive ever owned was a Fitbit Ionic. Well that died on me for no apparent reason a couple weeks ago, so I had been looking for a replacement. I didnt want to go with a Fitbit again and figured Garmin was the next best option. After looking at several models, I settled on the Forerunner 55. Feature-wise, it had everything I could have wanted. A quality brand with HR, sleep tracking, notifications and - like most Garmin products - has a good reputation of being a great fitness tracker among other things.

I want to like this watch but it just falls short. The face is hard to see in low light. Sure there is a light button that can be pushed, but my old Garmin was easy to see in any light. The optical heart rate sensor is inconsistent at best. You need to pair it with a chest strap for accurate readings. The GPS seems to work well but it is interesting that my running route that I have done for years is now over a 10th of a mile longer than it was with my Forerunner 35. Not sure which one is correct. Lastly, it is yet another charging cable. Traveling with wearables is a pain these days. A different cable for each device.

Sorry, just annoying. Took forever to learn how to DO anything on it. Im sold on the Coros Pace 2. Its just easy. Also, the app was overwhelming. Id rather enjoy how the Coros syncs with Strava, my iPhone, and even Noom. This Garmin was just too much of a headache.

Deliberated a lot before buying and compared with Forerunner 45, 245, etc. and finally landed on this. Extremely happy with the purchase.

I bought this watch 3 months back. I loved it. Its battery life is great. Its app is easy to use. I used it mainly to track my tennis work. Its accurate on recording the steps. I could always press button to see how many steps i get in my sport.

Replaced my 45s with this one. Not a big size difference and easy to use. Love that I can store extra types of exercises in the menu compared to the 45 which makes recording them easier. So far, its great and holds a charge for a lot longer too!

I bought the watch May 29th, and after a month of use the bands already have to be replaced.

Ligero y cómodo cuando aprendes a manejarlo. Al hacer un plan de entrenamiento el reloj te indica en la agenda de la aplicación, es fácil de revisar datos que registra.

Best purchase ever

Justo lo que necesito para monitorear mis carreras, distancia y mi desempeño.
