  • Great value. Solid watch.
Color: Black Style: Watch
Very happy with the Garmin 55. It’s much more comfortable than the Apple Watch I was replacing. The battery life is amazing - I only charge maybe once a week. It does all the things I want it to do (heart rate, steps per minute, steps, estimated calories, estimated V02 max, GPS tracking, swim lap and stroke counting and likely more that I’m not aware of yet). It took me a week or so to adjust the settings the way I want them, but once I got them adjusted, it’s been smooth sailing. Very happy with the watch - good value and functional. ... show more

  • Great product for runners.
Color: Aqua Style: Watch
This is a great watch for runners and people with poor eyesight, as the display is good size. This was a gift for my disabled daughter, who runs often, and she loves it! Holds its charge for days and is very sturdy. Great product!

  • Great running watch for those who want more accuracy and good metrics!
Color: White Style: Watch
Great starter watch for those getting into running and want to track their running details more accurately. The ability to see more details than a normal smartwatch has been a game changer for my running. Extremely simple and intuitive to use. It’s helped me from someone who ran occasionally to running 2 half marathons and training for my first full marathon. The watch syncs with the Garmin App and many other running apps. Have recommended this item to many others, and they’ve all been happy with the purchase. ... show more

  • Great lower budget Garmin watch
Color: Aqua Style: Watch
Great budget Garmin watch pleasantly surprised. I've been through a vivo active 5 and an venu Sq 2. I repeatedly had problems with my heart rate and calorie burn not being accurate during activity. This was recommended by a friend who knew I couldn't afford a fancy one but knew this was a good watch. It is awesome for training. I'm still learning how to use it. I love the Aqua band. I need my venu Sq 2 for the sleep tracker and pulse ox at night. It is super easy to switch between watches. If you want a Garmin quality watch but don't want to pay a premium price this watch is exactly what you need. I just have to set the brightness to almost 100 or else I can barely see the screen. I set the time out to 30 seconds to 1 min because I couldn't find an always on option . ... show more

  • 3 years and counting!
Color: Aqua Style: Watch
*** I've been using this watch for 3-years (& 1-month) now. It still works great and I still have zero regrets! I even got one of my sons to buy the same model. *** ------------------------------- Original 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. The watch is 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 10-19 percentile. This takes (me specifically) about 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 phase 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! ... show more

  • Great running watch.
Color: Black Style: Watch
Been using this for over 3 years now and STILL love it. I run a lot and use it for every run and for some walks and it does a great job at everything. Heart rate monitor is accurate. I'm surprised at the number of 1 star reviews. I'm wondering if it's people in areas where GPS will struggle period and thinking it's the fault of the watch. ... show more
