    Great Watch

    I don’t usually write reviews for products but I had to with this one. I switched to Garmin a couple of years ago and was having a hard time with the battery life. This watch I received a week ago and charged it first thing out of the box. It finally got down to 37% and I decided to charge it just in case. The battery life so far is amazing (ensure you turn off the GPS locator to help battery). It’s also very comfortable on the wrist and great for tracking fitness. I bought a glass protector and cover sleeve to keep it from getting scratched at my job. It does pair with your phone to send you notifications and you can change those as you please.For a Garmin product it also doesn’t break the bank. Great purchase!

    smart looking, long lasting battery

    I had a 5 yr old Garmin 35 Forerunner that lost its heart rate tracking reliability so I got the 55 2 months ago. I had a Vivo Active 3 three years ago but hated the touch screen and the 1 day battery (if you recorded a GPS workout). So I got this 55 and its battery is going on 3 weeks no problem with a workout every 3 days or so for 1 hour. Once you get used to the 5 buttons’ functions, you’ll have no problem. Heart rate is accurate and GPS seems to lock on a little faster than the 35.

    Much needed upgrade for me

    So I’m a creature of habit and if something isn’t broken I usually don’t fix it. That being said, I’ve had a Garmin Forerunner 310XT since 2011 and its more than served its purpose. I’ve noticed its become rather cumbersome on my wrist and the strap recently broke……Time to upgrade.That led me to do some research on GPS watches and I saw this one on sale. I didn’t need anything crazy expensive as all I needed it for was my running activity.I ended up buying the 55 due to it being on sale. It took me a little while playing with it to figure out all the features, but it only took me an hour or so. Its pretty easy to figure out.I barely know I have it on my wrist unlike my old clunky 310XT. No more heartrate chest strap!! It detects heartrate with sensors on the watch!!Coolest feature is that my wife can live time track me during my runs and see exactly where I am and if anything were to happen to me, she would be notified. She can see my heartrate, pace, and numerous other stats. Knowing that she is watching me, forces me to push myself harder on my runs, haha!!Battery last a long time, shows my sleep pattern, can easily read the watch face during activity and has all the features I need in a GPS watch and more.100% recommend especially while its on sale!!

    Near Perfect Affordable Running Watch…

    I’ve had this watch for almost a month and its been fantastic. GPS and heart rate are accurate, display is sharp (albeit not AMOLED level crisp), and the stats are just what I need/want. The question for you is will this watch meet your needs, wants, and lifestyle?With the release of the Forerunner 165, it *seems* the 55 isn’t a great choice. The 165 has an AMOLED display, an altimeter, and a few more bells and whistles for about 40 bucks more. The upgraded screen and altimeter make it seem like an easy choice to set down the extra 40 (or 100 for portable music). However, the 55 still offers a nice value and solid features:I’ve found the display on this watch to be fine (even with so-so near vision). Its already helped me knock time off my pace and train for an upcoming marathon. The data provided by the 55 is detailed: the body battery, sleep data, VO2 max, fitness age, stress, running cadence, and more are probably a bit more than I want and encompass all that I need. I always run with my phone (as a Zombie’s Run fan and need to be in-touch with the outside world) so having a music option or do-it-all watch isn’t necessary.While I haven’t pulled a formal training plan (I’m following the Zombie’s, Run! marathon trainer which I’ve used before to good effect), I *could* pull a plan to my 55. Further, the 55 “knows” when I’ve gone hard on a run or had a bad night’s sleep and recommends a rest day or lower effort run. All good stuff!TL:DR – the 55 is a great option for a beginner runner or experienced runner who wants some data but knows (or is honest with themselves) that they probably won’t dive into too deep (e.g. pace, cadence, body battery, and sleep are all they want with a few more goodies). Its also a great choice for the person who wants a dedicated GPS watch but wears other watches during their day and is having trouble justifying a special purpose purchase.I’m still in the return window for my 55 and I’m going to keep it. The 40 dollar (+ tax) isn’t a huge hurdle but I can’t say that the 165 gives me enough more to turn in the 55. I’m very happy with this watch because *it meets all my needs an wants* if the same is true for you, go ahead and order this but if you want the sharper display, a bit more data, and an altimeter (really, the only thing I miss on my 55) then save up some more and go that way.

    Simple, elegant solution

    Incredibly happy with this watch. I wanted an entry level fitness tracker that looks like a watch and not a mini computer. It has just enough smart features (app integration, text and phone call alerts) without being too distracting. I use the gps activity feature daily now and love the feedback.Most of the advanced features are useless to me or seem unreliable, but very happy to have too much rather than too little.Battery lasts probably five days on a single charge with daily gps usage. (Not positive about that number, I tend to just charge it when I’m in the car so I’m not missing steps.)Easy five stars

    11-month review

    Thanks to this watch, I was able to drop the 20+ pounds I put on during my post-covid depression. It got me moving again and whereas the original daunting number of 10k steps in a day made me nervous, I now walk around 23k steps daily without even thinking about it. The challenges on the app have helped me move from my former weight loss goals to my present toning ones and suffice it to say, all of this has helped tremendously with my mental health as well.As for the watch features, I was looking at all sorts of brands and all kinds of models and settled on this one and never looked back. I needed a time teller, a pedometer and a heart rate monitor, in no specific order. I received all of those and more with this wrist decor. Not only does the watch look nice and feel weightless on my skin when adjusted correctly, but it works so well at everything it was made to.The heart rate monitor is very accurate when compared with other heart rate monitoring devices. It’s simple to clean although I was afraid of damaging something whilst attempting to clear out the ‘gunk’ around the plug-in site. I didn’t purchase the watch for the sleep related feature but it is an interesting bonus. After roughly 9-10 months of continuous 24-hour use, I finally started noticing it act up during my treadmill workouts. My heart rate would drop to 0 and at one point I saw it jump to 248. Since I wasn’t dead or dying during any of these times, I thought I’d start turning it off at night and I haven’t noticed the issue since. It could have just been an error that required an update but like I said, I didn’t buy for the sleep feature anyhow.The battery life is pretty good I’d say. When I told my husband one day that I should ‘charge my watch tonight because it’s been a couple weeks’ he was really surprised. I keep track on my exercise calendar whenever I feel the need to plug in, which I do during the night so it doesn’t interrupt my steps during the day. I normally charge once it hits somewhere in the 20’s percentile. This takes (me specifically) two weeks to accomplish, with roughly an hour and a half, minimum, of recorded activities at least five days a week and the watch otherwise just being turned on consistently. Of course, there are extra outings that warrant using the start button once in a while and yet I still find my charge schedule to remain the same.You can choose from a variety of watch faces that come standard but I definitely have enjoyed looking through the Garmin store at other options. The background I’ve used for quite some time now shows the moon in its current state and as a lifetime star gazer, this is a face I was more than happy to throw money at. I spent just a few dollars and received something around 10 different looks, several animated such as plants or flowers that grow or open as you complete your steps for the day- amazing, if you like that sort of thing, turns out I do.Overall, I love my watch and I hope it lasts me a good, long time but if and when it finally dies from time cancer, I’ll be sure to replace it with another Garmin. I hear there are Star Wars versions out there that I’d love to get my wrist into.

    Regrets

    First thing to know, this is not a smart watch. Next, it has quite a learning curve and I think I’ve almost gotten to the top. I set my activities as walking and “other” because Garmin doesn’t have racquet sports included. I’ve tried creating that category but it doesn’t seem to work. One of the watch faces shows running distance and even though I removed running as an activity and added walking it still shows running. At the very least, it should show steps. Garmin you have a glitch. I changed to another watch face.I use Strava on my iPhone and my Garmin watch when I work out. My iPhone picks up my GPS immediately but Garmin takes a while. They both show I workout for the same amount of time but Garmin shows I walked a shorter distance and my min/mile are higher even though I start them both within three seconds of each other. Of course, I use the Strava numbers for my trends.After getting a GPS signal and starting my watch, it will pause so I have to stop it to start it again. Today, it paused a second time. I made sure I hit the button only once each time and it still pauses immediately after start. If I hadn’t been paying attention, my whole workout session wouldn’t have been recorded. Of course, this started after the return window had closed.The Body Battery is a cool concept but doesn’t work because it’s based on the sleep metric which is a dismal failure. One morning i raised my wrist and turned on the watch light to see the time, 4:08, and the watch not only didn’t show me awake but in a deep sleep. Recently, I was in the middle of a dream answering the phone, it was my watch buzzing on my wrist, it showed I was in a light sleep. (I have my watch set with an alert for a low heart rate, all other notifications are turned off. When I turned the watch light on, I was bleary eyed, I saw a 17 as the beginning of a line and that was it. Later, I looked at Garmin Connect (software app) and my HR was no where near the threshold.) This morning I was dreaming in color (REM sleep) right before I woke up and Garmin recorded it as a light sleep. I’m not going to be sleeping with my watch anymore.I have a 20 year old Polar heart rate monitor with a chest strap. Garmin is half a step above that, there’s no chest strap. You still have to push buttons and the buttons have multiple functions. The Garmin will tell me what zone my workout was in, my VO2 max, and my steps (we already know steps is recorded low, see above). I’m not sure how reliable any of it is since the zones are based on HR. One of my toughest hills to climb which is my maximum HR for my session, showed my HR as if I were on a flat surface. Again, this happened after my return window closed.The connection to charge is really weird. It’s in contact with your skin all of the time so can get sweat and gunk in it. It seems like it should be on the side or at least covered. Garmin says to rinse it with water but it still seems there is a design issue.The face is a little big for my arm and actually made my arm tender over my bones. I moved the watch face to my inner wrist and it seems to record fine and no more pain. The text is already small with a large watch face so making a smaller watch face would make the text unreadable.So if steps, sleep, body battery, HR, and zones are unreliable what’s the point? I can get the same information with my old Polar watch and Strava app. I thought as a backup I could give this to my husband to replace his old Garmin and chest strap and get an Apple watch. Well, that’s not going to work because my watch is “aqua” and Apple watch 9 dropped the blood oxygen metric due to patent infringement. I very much regret not sending this back.

    It’s ok, upgrading to something better

    I’ve had this watch for 10 months, and I’m ready for a better watch. This watch isn’t all bad though.If you’re looking for a cheaper option for running watches this is a pretty good choice, as long as your milage is reasonable. Obviously of you’re running more mileage you’re charging your watch more often. If I don’t use the watch for anything but “being a watch” and heart rate monitoring I could get a couple weeks between charges. The gps seems pretty accurate, I have routes that I usually run and the watch is pretty close in marking miles in about the same spot, I’d say within .05 of a mile, worse case.I’d say this watch is more geared towards cardio workouts, I use the “other” while I’m weight lifting and it’s not quite the right option, but theres no other options for this watch. It also does not have the ability to do elevation. Any elevation in your run is gps based i think.The watch itself is very durable, I only have the tiniest chip in the top of the screen, I wear this watch all the time, except while showering. The screen has minimal scratching. I’ve bought the screen covers for this watch before, but no brand I’ve ever bought was the exact correct size and there was always a small edge pulled up that would get dirt under it and it would eventually fall off.I really like that the screen is NOT touch screen and only the buttons control it. I don’t have to worry about accidentally bumping something during a work out.I’m not sure how accurate the HR is, I caveat that I wear my watch on the inside of my wrist and I have dark tattooing there that could cause some problems. But I’ve also worn it on the opposite side of my wrist and had similar readings. You also can’t wear this watch tight against the skin, then it won’t read a HR at all. I’ve seen this happen in work outs where there a missing HR chunks of time.The sleep monitoring is NOT reliable. Like at all. Basically all it knows it that your heart rate is lowering and it’s night time. I can be sitting still reading before bed and it counts all that time as sleep. So where I might have actually slept midnight to 630, my watch started counting sleep at 10. So I says I’ve gotten more sleep. Therefore effecting your “body battery” rate.The charger is weird. It takes a special charger, which I’ve bought another one for my travel bag. And if the watch charging interface gets dirty it makes charging finicky.The phone finder is really useful and I do like the period tracker.

    Not a runner; still enjoy the watch

    As the review title says I’m not a runner but have taken my 255 on many walks, some longboard trips, and kayaking. While a Garmin Instinct may have been a better fit I like the size of the 255 (usually wear a smaller G-Shock).No issues with GPS and battery life has been great; I do power it off at night out of habit but have events recorded with GPS almost daily.I really like the lack of a touchscreen and the band is comfy; using only buttons for menu navigation is easy and the muscle memory sets in quick.Regarding the buttons I dropped a star off due to the “Up” button no longer clicking like the others; it still works fine but I think it’s stuck slightly depressed (this is the button used to dismiss phone notifications so it’s noticeable); I expect it may stay this way but don’t mind as long as it still works.Happy with my purchase and like that there are no additional fees to track my fitness.Update 01/2024: I’ve begun to notice the heart rate sensor not recording results accurately; not sure on the root cause but have noticed it primarily on walks so far. The rate will stay too low for the entire activity; ending and restarting the activity seems to fix this but due to the inconsistency it’s easy to miss if I’m not looking for it during the activity.Checking the forums there are other reports of sensor recording being to low for slower paced activities with this model, it’s not a deal breaker but if you use/focus on the Intensity Minutes feature this can cause you to miss goals (editing/adding your accurate rate doesn’t add these minutes after the activity is ended).

    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.

    Nice Garmin for the price

    I bought this to replace my more expensive forerunner 735XT that I sadly lost. 🙁 Although the 55 is lacking a lot of the bells and whistles of the 735, I actually think I like it betters I really only need it for running and biking, and the 55 tracks both of those exercises. I also like its lower profile compared to the 735. The buttons and controls function similar to the 735, so there’s no learning curve. Overall, I think I would choose the 55 over the 735 if both were offered to me! Hopefully it will stand the test of TIME (haha).

    No complaints so far!

    I owned the original Garmin Forerunner – which compared to this watch, is a giant! I’ve been wearing this watch on/off for about 3 weeks now and am still learning to use it. Not as intuitive as I would have hoped; yet, I have managed to sync it with my Strava app, and love not having to use my phone to track bike rides or while running! It has been reliable tracking my run times and my daily steps. (I’ve not had an opportunity to use Garmin coach, but I do plan to see how that works.) My main interest lies in tracking my fitness, and my mileage. I like the option of being able to change the watch face to a more traditional look as opposed to digital. See photos. The only thing I miss from my original Garmin is the ability to see an aerial map. And of course the most important thing is this watch seems to stay charged! Time will tell as to its durability and performance, but for now I am optimistic.

    Where’s the charger?

    The watch itself is great I have no complaints with shipping or quality. My issue is I was sent a charger that isn’t compatible with the watch. I see why it was 20$ less than original price because now I have to spend the difference buying the correct charger.I’m a bit disappointed and don’t want the same thing to happen to others.

    Tracks All the basics

    This watch for the the money is great. It tracks all the basic metrics that you need. Distance, calories, steps etc. The GPS accuracy is great. Nothing to complain there. However I wish the screen was bigger. That’s the main problem I have with this watch. It’s hard to get over that. From the pictures it seems bigger but it isn’t. Specially when coros offers a larger screen for the price. It’s not a deal breaker but something to be aware of. I overall like garmin and their offerings so chose this. But this watch will help you get better at running. Primarily the main focus I find. Battery lasts a long time so don’t worry about that. The display is extremely visible in sun. Overall good for beginners

    So happy with this purchase!

    The media could not be loaded.

    I wanted to watch that would help me improve my running, and this definitely has helped tremendously. The daily running suggestion is perfect to help me keep track of my progress and also motivates me to continue. I love that it has so many different options for sports and I can even wear it swimming. Also the battery life is amazing, I barely have to remember to charge it.The only downside is the size of the of the watch, it’s a bit bulky and it’s comfortable enough for everyday wear however it’s too uncomfortable for me to wear while sleeping so I have not been able to monitor my sleep quality. Overall I’m really happy with my purchase and I often recommend people to get a Garmin if they want a good quality, affordable sports watch.

    Doesn’t keep truck of the miles , starts good and then drops off all the activities

    It is complicated to use itThe battery last 2 days ( not two weeks as it says in the description)

    Helps me track my energy levels and training goals, great batterie life

    The app and training options are very convenient. I like the energy level tracker, the sleep tracker and the training statistics and advice. I have to recharge my watch like every other week. Good value as well.

    Sleek, Lightweight & Simple.

    I got this to replace my 5yr old Forerunner 235 and am super happy with it.Best points:- Excellent battery life, easily tracks a 50-miler and longer; I rarely charge compared with every few days for my FR235- It sits closer to the wrist with less bulk- Strap is more flexible- customizable watch face is easy to see; press a button for a backlight when it’s dark- 4 data fields (only had 3 on the FR235)- Great GPS tracking, fast satellite location- Buttons are easy to press on the moveCons (slight)- scant instructions so I could see this being pretty unintuitive for a first time Garmin user. Luckily the watch itself gives hints on the customization features. I probably fiddled for about 30min to get it all just right.- when you go to start a run, it tries to suggest your workout which is nice but not necessary. It’ll also tell you it’s locating satellites, when in fact it’s already good to go. Just press start and it’ll start tracking.I can’t comment on sleep/HR, as I don’t track those; though HR seems on par with every other wrist based monitor I’ve had.Overall a great running/biking/activity tracking watch for those who don’t want/need smart watch features. There’s a lot of running data to geek out on, packed into a small, lightweight package. I’ll probably rarely/never use it all, but it’s fun if you want to mess with the extensive Garmin Connect app. Would highly recommend – does everything I want as a competitive ultra runner.

    Worth the buy

    It’s accurate with tracking runs, heartbeat etc. I used it as soon as it was delivered and it works great.

    Training for a marathon and so impressed by the data this watch provides!

    The media could not be loaded.

    I have always used an Apple Watch for running. I’m training for a marathon now and constantly got annoyed by the touch screen after my fingers would get sweaty, so wanted something geared more towards working out/running. When I bought it, I thought I’d only wear it to run but I have loved all the data that it provides so much that I’ve been wearing it almost all the time. You can view all daily metrics on it, however, I prefer to view the data on the phone app as I find that a little easier to see all at once. It can receive all of my phone notifications except for my texts because I have an iPhone and the watch is not compatible with iMessage. The gps has been so accurate while running, it is easy to stop/start, and has a strong vibrate when you stop/start or finish a mile. There are a variety of workout options available but I’ve only used it for running so far. The sleep tracking has been great and is so accurate. It gives you a daily body battery percentage based on stress, sleep, and activity level. The battery also lasts so long before it needs to be charged! It usually lasts about a week before needing to charge, depending on how many gps workouts I log. There are definitely still many other features that I have not tried yet but the things listed are what I use most/love the most about it!

    Simple watch that does the job.

    I’m a casual runner training for a marathon. This watch does everything I needed to, it’s small as decent battery life, as a stopwatch. It doesn’t have a ton of data but it’s good for tracking your runs. At first I didn’t like the watch face, but you’re able to download and use custom watch faces. The watch face is very small though.

    Doesnt track total time for laps

    Positives:Accurate enough heart rate, pace counter, data collection and GPS.Comfortable on wrist, low profile and lightweight.Lots of layout options to find you preference. Easy button controls.Can see the screen in ANY lighting.Negatives:When its real wet out or i am super sweaty feels like its zapping my wrist.. might be a short in the charging port?The screen doesnt have a black out option, its always on. You can turn the light on and off but if the device is on the screen is on.Reason i will probably return it:I “upgraded” from my $15 wrist watch of 8 years.. and the garmin doesnt have the basic stop watch lap/split recordings that im dependent on in my job and group trainings…Laps- Garmin will record laps, however, when i am tracking 20+runners and paces, i need to see the lap time and total time so i know what each person has run. Once you stop the event and go to review, Garmin only shows the time for that lap and not total time leading to when the lap was recorded. My $15 watchbhas better time recording options… i dont want to wear two watches sooo… garmin loses until they add updates.Overall: Great beginner watch for individual runners who have a hard time tracking pace and exertion on thier own. Not enough basic options for groups, coaches or old school analytical nerds.

    Takes forever to acquire a GPS signal

    Absolutely brutal in the wintertime standing around waiting for your watch before you can go on your run.Solid otherwise.

    Great watch

    Great watch to assist with keeping track of running metrics. Have had it for awhile now and wear it every time I go running along with a polar beat HRM and they connect perfectly after set up the first time. Would recommend especially for the price point it’s a good watch.

    A nice watch

    I got the blue one. It looks fabulous. The wrist band is more pliable than my old Fitbit. The Fitbit would show HR and stuff like that. On the Garmin you need your phone to view additional data beyond time.The numbers are big (for time function) and very visible. No problem telling time, even in the Arizona sun.This requires the Garmin Connect App to setup. I downloaded the app, setup the watch and then my phone bricked. My phone needed a factory reset. I haven’t tried the Garmin Connect app again.It is a very nice watch.

    so nice for a beginner

    i got this after signing up for my first half marathon to track my runs and its super accurate and the battery life is amazing, it was definitely confusing at first but after having it for a couple months ive gotten used to the controls and i love how the app tracks stress, sleep, workout gear, and wayyyyyy more too

    Inaccurate

    Ive been using this watch for a year now and the calories are always off. A 6 mile run which burns 600 calories shows up as 400 on watch. Don’t even think the heart rate is accurate. If your looking for accuracy this is not your watch. I would return it but i think its too late.

    Like this watch/tracker – perfect for me

    Ok – so it does more than I need, and does it all well. The learning curve was longer than anticipated – but I’ve figured out what I need to figure out and I enjoy the watch.I’m a casual runner and have completed a number of races over the years as a participant, not an elite athlete. It was a good choice for me. I would recommend to others.

    Excellent!

    This is the perfect watch for me. Sleep, steps, workouts and heart rate are all monitored -plus the app has hydration, challenges and all kinds of bells and whistles. The battery life is fantastic – I only charge it once every 3-4 weeks!

    Heart monitor

    Heart monitor does not give a accurate measurement, reads close to double actual HR which effects the calorie count.

    Perfect watch for newbie runner!

    I love my watch so much. It has plenty of features if you’re new to running. I’ve also gotten compliments on how nice it looks too! Battery lasts for days if not over a week. Does well with water. It’s not touch screen which feels so vintage lol but you get used to having to use the side buttons.

    Amazing Product!!!

    I have to say I’m not easily impressed but this product is very very good it’s not complicated and it’s very accurate. It tells me the pace, distance, and time spent while running (unlike other watches I’ve had) and I love it. It also sends your results straight to the “Garmin Connect App”, on your phone with detailed data on the different paces you ran for every mile, your steps, heart rate, calories burned, and your VO2 level. I can confidently say that if you’re looking for a running watch to buy the “Garmin Forerunner 55”, is where it’s at.

    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.

    A fantastic watch for runners

    I never owned a smart watch, and didn’t really want any more devices in my life, but as an avid runner I wanted a way to track my runs without having a phone in my hand. I was originally looking at fitbits but was totally turned off by the subscription model they use for their app. I did a little more research and found out about this Garmin.This watch ticks all the boxes for me, and I’m very happy with my purchase. I actually like the non-backlit screen (with a button for backlight) that’s always on and reflects well under even low light. The GPS is exremely accurate, and even charted the fastest parts of my runs geographically. The app is FANTASTIC, it charts absolutely everything and breaks down every stat under the sun (also comes free with the watch, no subscription for all its features). It syncs with my Strava automatically to share runs with friends. I like that it isn’t touch screen so I can feel the buttons to stop and start at lights, and it has a nice buzz to let me know when I do that.I didn’t want another “smart” device in my life, but this one is just limited enough for me. I don’t have to take calls into my wrist like James Bond, or tap away on a tiny screen. I get email and text notifications which is surprisingly handy, so I’m taking my phone out less for less urgent things (which inevitably leads me to fiddling with other apps). I also use it as an alarm in the morning, it works great. It doesn’t get in the way, and it does absolutely everything I needed it to do. I got the white one and it looks pretty nice, too. Highly recommend for runners, couldn’t be happier.
