GarminGarmin Forerunner 55, GPS Running Watch with Daily Suggested Workouts, Up to 2 weeks of Battery Life, White

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.

This is a great "fitness watch" I bought it as a replacement for my Garmin Instinct Tactical which broke, and I didn't really want to spend that kinda money again on something that only lasted three years. So far I'm a year into this watch and while it lacks some of the features I really liked about the Instinct, it's still good enough I can track my health stats, manage messages and bluetooth music. Would definitely recommend as a starter health watch, but long term you might want built in GPS, or some more advanced features. If you're just looking for gym stuff, this is perfect.

I love my watch. I got this watch because I knew that it would track my steps better than any other smart watch that I’ve ever had. I also didn’t want the Bluetooth activated while wearing the watch and it still reads my steps very well. I also like the fact that I can change the watchband a much easier than I could on my Apple Watch.

An excellent watch so far that provides accurate measures (especially for GPS) and has built-in capabilities to preserve battery life, especially when not in use. Light, comfortable, and a great watch either for starter athletes or athletes who don't need very advanced features. I am hoping to update this in the next few years to see if its durability holds up.

Have had the watch for almost 2 months & I wish I've had it for about 2 years. I wasn't necessarily looking for all of the health stats that some watches (claim to) provide. I wanted something that'll show my phone notifications if my phone is in my pocket. Also wanted a few of the stats like heart rate & sleep tracking, and something that'd tell me it's time to take a walk. This does all of that & more! Changing the watch faces is a breeze & there are tons of free options on the COMPLETELY FREE Connect IQ app that Garmin promotes, so it's not a separate company / third party you have to go through. So far, I've gotten about 3 and a half weeks worth of battery life & have only had to charge the watch twice.My only negative works as a slight positive. I don't know the science behind it, but the screen is incredibly easy to read in direct sunlight. Unfortunately it's very difficult to read in the shade or just in a dimly lit room. Yes, you can hit the backlight button & it's perfectly visible. But the contrast is odd, so that's why I docked a star.Overall, I would buy this watch again instantly.

Perfect watch. Visibility is great. Perfect size in my wrist. Many watch face customizations. Easy to get the hang of. IT IS POSSIBLE to change the brightness of it. Find a YouTube video.

My best Garmin so far. Rich in functions. Readable face. LONG charge life. Intuitive enough for a boomer like me to operate. (But impossibleto read the info in many of the screens without glasses, which I don't wear when I run)

Es lo mejor que se puede encontrar para comenzar en el running. Es una gran herramienta para poder conocer la evolución y las oportunidades de mejora que se puede presentar, gracias a toda la información que suministra el reloj. Es espectacular.
