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

It does what it says.
I’ll start by mentioning that this is my 3rd Garmin watch, I also briefly owned a 47mm Epix Pro gen 2, I gave it up because of the size. I also had a 2019 Instinct Standard, which 2 weeks ago left me, it simply wouldn’t turn on anymore (I was so disappointed, I was attached to that watch). So I told myself that I wasn’t going to spend $500-600 on a watch for 4-5 years and I bought the FR 55 from Amazon, $160. Now about the watch: 2 weeks of battery with 2 30-minute runs and a one-hour bike ride, plus wearing it daily for notifications, I find it excellent, the GPS activates in max 10 seconds, the Instinct sometimes didn’t find a signal even after 10 minutes (I mention that I live at an altitude of almost 3000 meters, almost always cloudy), compared to the Guru Maps Pro application that I use quite a lot, small differences, the Instinct had differences of 1 km in 6.7 runs. Don’t get me wrong, the Instinct did its job well, but this “little thing” is excellent if you don’t have high demands, 37 grams, you can’t even feel it in your hand. It’s not a Fenix, but it’s a watch that does exactly what it says and does it well “without breaking the bank”. I would have liked the screen to be a little bigger, the watch is 42mm (recommended for people with small wrists) but the screen is significantly smaller. I should mention that I actually bought it to use it for running, 2.3 times a week and for smartwatch notifications. Otherwise, a lot of reviews online.

Great for running, working out, or tracking your steps at work!
Best investment I’ve made on Amazon. The look, size, feel, and screen clarity are all amazing. I ran the Dallas BMW marathon with this watch and the functionality of knowing my mile pace and what my heart rate is while running was super important to me. When it comes to functionality, this watch is great for working out, tracking your steps, or viewing your heart rate/stress levels (especially at work). There is hardly any lag time when it comes to update and syncing with my phone. I highly recommend this watch for anybody just starting out in running or working out.

Very nice,but didn’t fit my wrist
Watch was very nice but too small for my 8.6 wrist. I also had a hard time reading the print on the watch face as it is very small. Had to send it back as not right for me and hope for a full refund as it was never used.

Best watch i ever purchased!
I just love this watch! I’ve had three and this one has the most options. The fitness tracker is awesome and you can pick your activities! It shows so much detail after your activity. It even told me to take rest time because i was stressed out! It’s really cute too and you can buy bands in pretty colors!

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

I used to run lots. Now I walk. This little watch does the trick. It does lots more than I need. Yet I use it constantly, to track my distance when I go for my daily walks. The accuracy of the GPS system is second to none. And the rest of the watch is so user friendly, I prefer to use this watch over more complex ones I have bought and tried.

As expected from the Garmin, pretty good especially the battery backup, i haven’t charged yet, it came out of the box with 90%, i have been walking and running and other activities like breath, HIIT(high-intensity interval training), past 4 days i have not take it off this watch from my wrist, still battery 49%. i do own apple watch series 6 Nike Edition but need to charge every day for sure and if i ran more than 6K or 7K in day, it will drain pretty soon, thats why i took this and heart rate also very good, which similar to polar heart strap. finally it’s a Sport watch not completely smart watch but it has some of the smart watch features, like getting notifications but in one way you can’t give reply from the watch, just you can see.
