GarminForerunner 55 GPS Running Smartwatch, Black

Hands down my new favorite watch! I love everything about it! I do a lot of running and other exercises, but wanted something reliable and cheap so that when it comes to inevitably replacing it I wont have to break the bank. I've tried several fitbits (charge 6, inspire 3, HR) and the google pixel watch 2 too, but none of those compare to this Garmin Forerunner 55. The GPS on this Forerunner 55 is ACCURATE. It's waaaaaay better than the built in GPS on any of the fitbit watches.This watch is so simple to use use and I think that's what I like the most about it. The interface on both the watch and the app tells you so much useful data and lets you organize it any way you want. You can even create your own watch faces and use whatever picture you want!!! I didn't realize that when I bought it, but I freakin love the customization on this watch. The watch is easy to read when it's super bright outside and it's waterproof up to 50m too!My only gripe is that there isn't a strength activity to track which makes sense because this is primarily a running watch. To fix this I just set it to track cardio and turn gps off when I'm tracking a strength workout so that I can still log time, calories, heart rate. Then I just rename the workout to "strength" or whatever.

Purchased this watch for son who is just getting into running. It's also a great first watch without all the distractions of a smart watch like the Apple Watch that can oftentimes be banded in some school for obvious reasons. This watch is great for a number of reasons.1. Build quality2. Packed with an abundance of features at this price point3. Ease of use and simplicity4. Good looking5. Reasonably priced

I have owned this watch for a while so that I'm now familiar with many (but not all) of its functions. I originally used it for running. Now I use it for walking/hiking, cardio workouts, HIIT, and strength training. And that is just scratching surface of what it will do (please don't ask about other functions -- there are many I have not used). It holds a charge well and the time it takes to recharge is fast. The watch receives a GPS signal quickly when preparing to walk or run. When saving an exercise activity, it will sync to your smartphone. You can then upload the data to the Garmin online app. You can review the details of your activity when done with the phone app which provides a wealth of information. The heart rate data appears to be reasonably accurate when I have compared its measure of resting rate to that of other devices. Finally, if you get a text message to your phone and the phone is nearby (in your pocket, etc), the text will briefly appear on the watch. While it is not the top of the line Garmin watch, I am hard pressed to find any fault with it. Sure, some Garmin models play music. But on those occasions where I want music, I can either use my phone or my mp3 player.

Perfect watch for my husband. Easy to use.

This GPS watch is worth every dollar!First, I love that I could customize the watch face!It shows the characteristics!!!After Sync to Strava all the records are uploaded automatically and almost instantly!I actually fell during one of my trail run. The watch actual detected and used my phone to text my emergency contact!Of course, I use this watch to find my phone a lot!!!

Took a minute to adjust and figure out all the functions, since was not familiar with the operating system, but once got that figured out was a very reliable watch.Grate GPS tracking feature for runners.

My husband absolutely loves his watch. He's been using it for 2 years now. Battery.Life is extremely awesome. He gets notifications from his phone and great for exercise.

Decepcionante. Me enviaron una versión para el mercado asiático, y no es compatible con los paquetes de idiomas occidentales. Fue un regalo para mi padre, pero no fue posible que lo usara porque no se puede instalar el idioma español. Adicionalmente se bloquea y falla con frecuencia.Creo que el vendedor fue deshonesto al no informar que el producto no era para el continente americano.
