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

Perfect Entry-Level Running Watch!
The Garmin Forerunner 55 is an excellent choice for beginner and intermediate runners. It’s lightweight, comfortable, and packed with features like GPS tracking, heart rate monitoring, and suggested workouts. The battery life is fantastic—I can go days without charging even with regular use.I love how user-friendly it is, with clear menus and a simple setup process. The pace and distance tracking are accurate, and the post-run stats in the Garmin Connect app are super detailed. If you’re looking for a reliable running companion without breaking the bank, this is the one!

Best fitness watch
I’ve had 2 Fitbits, 2 galaxy watches, and an apple watch. These watches felt unreliable, and had too many features for a watch. THIS WATCH, the Garmin is the best of all of them. Accurate steps/distance? Yep. Reminders to move? Yep. Clear, easy to read face? Yes to that too. The app that goes with the watch have wonderful features and data that help me make smarter decisions. Features for runners and athletes do not get in the way of this unathletic grandma. It’s just the best watch! I do not miss making phone calls on my watch, which saves money, too. I do recommend this watch.

I love this watch
I bought this a few months ago and loved it but wanted to wait to write a review so I could comment on its reliability over time. So far, this thing is great. Best sports/tracking watch I have ever owned.The battery life is as advertised. Lasts about two weeks depending on how active you are with the GPS during that timeframe. You can display the exact battery percentage, also.The size and display area are great. It doesn’t feel too big but there is plenty of room on the screen for all the important info you might need.During workouts: you can customize what fields are displayed for each activity. I primarily use this for running, and I like how I can adjust what I see on the screen (HR, pace in whatever units I want, total distance, etc). There are actually quite a few different metrics you can display, so I’m confident you will find what you want. I also like how it vibrates at every mile marker and gives you a quick read out of how you’re doing so far in terms of pace and whatever else you decide to display. The vibration is actually quite useful, and is powerful enough that you will definitely feel it (I know some watches are sort of weak in this regard).Heartbeat sensor: this was an important one for me, and this watch has performed very well in this regard. My older Garmin watch (Forerunner 35 I think?) seemed pretty unreliable with HR, but this one seems like its pretty spot on most of the time (as verified by manually checking my HR to see how close it is).It has some really cool “widgets” that you can add to your main menu. For example, I can check the weather for the next week with two or three button presses, which I think is a cool bonus. It also has health focused ones like V02 max and you can review your HR over the past week, displayed as a simple line graph.The only thing that bugs the hell out of me is that when you go to start a workout, a run for example, it will always give you this “suggested workout” that you have to say no to every time. It’s really annoying and I wish I could turn it off, it just adds extra button presses before I can start my run. Not enough to deduct any points, but it’s still a really annoying feature.

Garmin es muy bueno pero en este reloj lo único un poco bajo en calidad es su pantalla lo demás es genial

A qualidade do material é ótima, a bateria dura bastante e as funcionalidades são muito precisas. O design é bonito e confortável no pulso. Recomendo para quem busca um relógio inteligente com bom custo-benefício!

After reading reviews on the Forerunner 55, I decided to purchase this watch. I’m a smaller petite 5ft 4in and most watches are big and bulky and just look ridiculous on my wrist…so I wasn’t sure on this one. I was surprised when it arrived as it is not big and bulky like my hubby’s Garmin Instinct. It has a nice flat face with text large enough to read even at a glance while on a run. The buttons are easy to use and figure out and once you spend some time doing the initial set up and customize it to your preferences, its a great watch! GSP is great, battery life is awesome! It came charged and even with all my fooling around with the settings and discovering how all the selections work, my battery is still at 60% after 4 days. I turned down the brightness and turned off the function that keeps the backlight on during a workout/run and I’m expecting to not charge it for another week and half or so. GPS will use more battery but by far, the best battery life compared to other fitness trackers I’ve had.It’s super comfy, light weight and the teal/ aqua color is very nice. Love love this watch. I would recommend a screen protector though, so the face doesn’t get scratched up. After 4 days, i put one on to keep the screen scratch free as I plan to have this watch for a long time!Awesome product, highly recommend!
