GarminForerunner 55 GPS 42mm Running Smartwatch, Easy to use, Lightweight, Training Guidance, Safety & Tracking Features, Black

Great entry level sports watch. Tracks everything that I want it to.Intuitive to use and looks smart.Great battery life, only needing to charge once every 2 weeks, even with lots of activity.

I couldn’t be happier with this product.It’s been a part of every day for the last three months.Having gotten back into training and physical fitness, this watch has been brilliant. It really keeps me motivated and gives me some good insights into watch I’m doing.Garmin app works brilliantly and syncs data quickly. It also connects to other fitness apps I’m using so I can collate and see my data together.The watch itself is compact and easy to use. You really can’t go too far wrong if you’re looking for something to track steps, sleep, heart rate, calories and your exercise whether that be running, treadmill, swimming etc. I charge this once a week and set recordings for events lately at a minimum for 5 days for week.For me this was a good priced smart watch for the functions.I would’ve liked a resistance/weight training recording option but I choose other for this. For my first smart watch this has been a winner.I will definitely go for a higher ranged garmin product in a few years but for now this is a very good starting point. It’s brilliant.The only thing which I would say, is I’m not sure how accurate the sleep recording is. On a couple of occasions I’ve noticed that I’m asleep according the watch data, when in fact I have been awake.Overall, if you’re looking for a starter fitness watch or buying your first, I’d recommend this to you.

This was a used, good a new purchase. Arrived promptly in its origanl box and good condition. Works well. My only negative comment is that the charging lead was not included, perhaps I should have thought about this a but more but did just assume it would have one. Other than that very pleased.

I am really pleased with this purchase. Very reasonably priced for the type of device. I really like Garmin and the Garmin app from previously owning a vivoactive 3 which gave up after a good few years of use. The forerunner 55 suits my needs better than the vivoactive in that it is button operated rather than touch screen. I often lost activities with the vivoactive dueSee to a coat or running jacket operating the screen. The forerunner 55 is a much more definite function operation which I really like. I've used the watch for hiking and running so far and it's been brilliant regarding information, GPS tracking, linking to Strava, etc. The battery life between charges seems very good so far. I also really like the fact you need to push a button to illuminated the watch rather than it light up on movement as the vivoactive did. The watch still lights up when lifting to view during an activity which is perfect for me. I have also started using Garmin coach for a running aim and this is a brilliant motivator as well as stopping me overtraining which I have done in the past.Thoroughly recommend Garmin and this device for ease of use, practicality, toughness, training options and how it looks.

The Garmin Forerunner 55 is an excellent fitness watch, especially for active users who want reliable tracking and easy smartphone connectivity. It delivers accurate GPS performance, great battery life, and a range of features that make it a solid choice for sports enthusiasts.My son, who is passionate about swimming and sports, loves using this watch to track his activity. It provides detailed insights into workouts, heart rate, and performance metrics, helping him stay on top of his training. The lightweight design makes it comfortable to wear all day, and the interface is intuitive, making it easy to access stats and notifications. Syncing with his iPhone works seamlessly, allowing him to review progress, set goals, and stay motivated.For anyone looking for a well-rounded GPS watch that balances performance, ease of use, and smart features, the Forerunner 55 is a fantastic option. It’s durable, dependable, and a great tool for anyone serious about staying active.

Really good watch, great for running and also use at work. Easy to use would recommend

After many hours of researching for the best running watch I eventually settled on the Garmin Forerunner 55. I am so glad I went for this watch as it is fantastic and it performs like it’s a watch that is of a far higher value!It is the size of a standard watch and is very easy to connect to your phone when setting it up with the Garmin Connect app.The watch speed is very quick and there seems to be no delay whatsoever when scrolling through the menus on it either which is great.The watch isn’t touch screen, however after a short while of using the buttons it becomes natural and very easy to use the buttons.I have used the watch to record runs, walks and gym workouts so far, so it is very versatile and overall just brilliant! I’d highly recommend it to anyone that enjoys sport and recording their workouts/exercises.
