Grit

Gets the job done. Gritty. Low tech. Lost mine in a lake so I just bought another without thinking. They’re only like 140 bucks.

MDB81

The upgrade is great. I love the battery life. The information provided each day fits my needs.

Works Well Enough For 95% Of The People Who Buy It

Provides all the information I need. I've been using Polar recording devices since the early 90's. The last one of that brand died a week ago, so I decided to move to Garmin, because I'm not in compatition anymore.

Great All Around

I have had it a couple years now and love it.good watch.very satisified

Perfect

I love the Garmin watch; besides being beautiful, I find it very accurate in tracking activities. There are just two points I think could be improved: the first is being able to see the time during a workout. Another detail that could be improved is the charging—it should be inductive, as I’ve had a lot of trouble with the charger—but I think the watch is fantastic.

Amazing

I bought this years ago and it is still the best watch I have ever got!!!

Love All The Features And That It's Water Proof

This was a gift for my birthday I gave it four stars because it connect and disconnect at any given time. Other than that I love all the features it has

Watch Face

I had a Forerunner 45 for several years and moved up when the 45 started to act wacky when tracking runs and bike rides. Usually, the 45 would lose distance from the activity that I knew all too well. Now I have a Forerunner 55. So far, so good as to functionality. I am simple and an older runner. It took me 2-3 weeks to find a simple watch face that met my needs. All I wanted was heart rate, date with day, month, and year, calories, and steps. I am still not satisfied with the selection. I was willing to pay, but nothing that "simple" was available. I even contacted one of the developers about the older watch face that I had on my 45, without a response. The old face watch, though advertised, doesn't load. "Watch" out for PixelPathos Crystal version. It does not load!

Good Overall Fitness Watch

Easy to read, accurate on distance and heart rate for running. Only reason it’s a four is it sometimes wants to start a program I don’t want. Always have used garmin and they hold up over the long haul.

Very Difficult To Operate

I bought this a while back,(several months) I just got it out of the box and started to use it. I can't get the color background changed. It is much more cumbersome to use than my previous garmin. I went back to using my previous garmin. I am extremely disappointed and will probably will not buy another garmin! I have watched utube many times, no real help. Roberta Johnson

PAPPS

I'm having a TERRIBLE time setting this NEW watch up!!!!

Not Designed For Walkers.

I bought this watch on June 3, 2026. This was not the watch for me. I never got it past the time. Nothing else. This watch was made and designed for runners. I couldn't find the step counter. Company told me I could use the watch. Returns had to be done within 14 days.

Forrunner55

A Simple running watch the features are pointless better too get a more expensive one if u want reliable data in my opinion

Replacement Watch

The replacement watch is working great. I now am able to track my health every day.

Great Watch!

Greatest watch I’ve ever used. I use it everyday for track and xc as a high school athlete and it’s amazing. It’s waterproof and the screen won’t scratch. Theres many settings for different preferences. I use the Forerunner 55 and I love it!
