Great introduction Garmin watch
I bought this watch after reading reviews and doing a bit of research. I had an apple watch but I wanted a watch that would benefit me with my running, so decided on the Garmin Forerunner 55. What a great lightweight watch this is. I’ve only had it a week and really like it. Battery life is good, records my sleep, walks , runs which is what I predominately bought it for. The Connect app is good and connection is so easy, I’m also connected to Strava. It’s a great introduction watch at a good price and I would recommend it. Certainly converted from my Apple watch.

Great watch
Pros: Display readable in sunlight, battery life is outstanding, comfortable, exercise tracking accurate, smart features work well.Cons: Display is low resolution, no touch screen (can’t think of anything else, and I knew these cons before buying!)All said, it’s a near perfect watch for the price. If you just want a no-frills experience with checking the time/weather/emails/texts and tracking fitness, I don’t think you will be disappointed with this watch.It looks really nice and the battery lasts ages, charging speed isn’t the fastest but can’t expect that in a small watch.9/10 recommend.

Watch looks great
This is a great watch. I only have small wrists and wanted a watch that’s lightweight and not too bulky. It was very easy to set on the app and get the hang of the functions. I wanted to be able to track other activities as well as running, which this does, but I do find the calorie count is very low – although I’ve seen that’s pretty common feedback about Garmin watches

Battery last very long
I would recommend this watch to anyone. I bought it two weeks ago and I havenât charged it since. The battery is still at 32%, and Iâve been using it everyday. At the beginning, itâs a bit confusing to use, but after, it gets easier. 10/10

La primera vez que lo cargue me duro 1 semana la bateria y ahora solo me dura 2-3 dias, salio defectuoso o no se porque se esta descargando tan rápido

Después de usar el Garmin Forerunner 55 durante varias semanas, puedo decir que es el compañero ideal para quienes corremos con frecuencia y queremos mejorar sin complicarnos. Es ligero, cómodo de llevar incluso en tiradas largas, y la baterÃa dura muchÃsimo (me aguanta hasta 10 dÃas en uso normal y unos 20 horas con GPS).El GPS es muy preciso, detecta la señal rápido y registra distancias y ritmos de forma fiable. Lo mejor es que incluye planes de entrenamiento personalizados, que se adaptan a tu nivel y objetivos. Las sugerencias diarias de entreno motivan bastante y evitan caer en la rutina.También me gusta mucho el seguimiento del bienestar diario (frecuencia cardÃaca, estrés, sueño) y las notificaciones del móvil, que son prácticas sin ser intrusivas. Y aunque es un reloj deportivo, el diseño en blanco queda muy elegante, tanto para entrenar como para llevarlo todo el dÃa.Pros:————GPS rápido y preciso.Planes de entrenamiento y sugerencias diarias.Muy buena autonomÃa.Cómodo, ligero y bonito.Notificaciones y seguimiento de salud 24/7.Contras:————No tiene música integrada (no me molesta, pero a algunos sÃ).Pantalla no táctil (aunque con los botones es muy fácil de usar).Si buscas un reloj fiable, fácil de usar y pensado para correr, el Forerunner 55 es una opción excelente. Tiene lo justo y necesario, sin complicaciones, y Garmin nunca falla en precisión.
