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 fantasticâI 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!

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.

Fantastic fitness tracker and running watch!
This watch really has all you need. I was a Polar lover before my switch to Garmin and it’s certainly an upgrade, even at what they’re calling an ‘entry level’ running watch. Here’s what I love about it:1. 24/7 wrist based heart rate monitoring. Very accurate during inactive and active periods.2. 1 week battery life with all systems on GO. I haven’t stress tested it with multiple runs but so far I’m reasonably happy with the battery. It’s connected to my phone so I’m receiving notifications often and my heart rate is constantly monitored.3. Accurate GPS tracking, with 3 options depending on your situation and demands on accuracy.4. Great sleep tracking. You get a lot of great insights that can be used to make adjustments, improve sleep and optimize recovery.5. Body battery is an interesting feature that allows you to identify when you’re fully charged and ready to go and when you’re drained and need to rest.6. VO2 max and race predictor are great features that allow you to see when you are with your fitness and at your current levels of fitness the expected race times you’d likely hit.7. Fitness age is an eye opening feature that determines your age based on your fitness and body weight. Gave me a harsh reality check!8. Lightweight and extremely comfortable to wear! You won’t even remember it’s on your wrist.The watch has more features, but for me all the above is what I depend on and thoroughly enjoy! For it’s price point I say it’s absolute value for me. I’m very happy with my purchase.

This watch is great and a life saver with me being a new running. The battery life is out of this world. The accuracy is spot on and connects easily to my phone

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

Comprei de presente pra minha namorada. E um igual, mas preto, pra mim. O relógio é super leve, o que é ótimo pra usar o dia todo e para fazer exercÃcio fÃsico. Uso pra natação, corrida e treino na academia. Vale o custo benefÃcio.Se você procura um relógio que te dá um excelente GPS, longa duração de bateria, e acompanha seus treinos… compre sem medo. Ele não é touch nem tem um display tão bonitão quanto um celular atualmente, mas pra mim isso não era importante, então o relógio serve 100% pro propósito. Se quiser um relógio com um display mais top, com mais resolução, vai custar o dobro pra entregar praticamente as mesmas funções
