  • All-in-One Performance Watch with Serious Battery Life
Color: Whitestone Style: Non Solar Pattern Name: Smartwatch
The Garmin Forerunner 955 is one of those upgrades that actually changes how you train. The battery life is a huge win, you don’t have to constantly think about charging, even with long runs or back-to-back workouts. It’s not just for running either; it handles everything from strength training to cycling and more without missing a beat. What really stands out is how seamlessly it connects with different apps, making it easy to track, analyze, and stay consistent without extra effort. It is a lightweight watch with a good sized-screen. I love being able to track fitness and sleep, and all the metrics just make you more engaged. I love my Garmin and prefer it to an Apple Watch. ... show more

  • First time Garmin user
Color: Whitestone Style: Non Solar Pattern Name: Smartwatch
I’ve been using this watch daily for 3 months now and have lots to say about it! This was my first Garmin/fitness watch, although I’ve been wearing an Apple Watch for many years. So this review is primarily a comparison of Apple Watch vs Garmin. First of all, the pros: *this thing is so powerful! The first time I did a run with it, the data blew me away. I’m currently obsessed with watch my VO2 max climb and seeing my HR and run power after every workout. *the Garmin Coach is SO COOL. I used one of the integrated plans to train for a 10k (I was already a competent runner and not slow) and managed to shave 30s off my pace. Knocked out a PR I was super proud of, with just a couple weeks of following a plan. *I love the training readiness score. I’m slowly learning that I generally like to push myself harder than I should and this thing keeps me from injury and over exertion. I’m often surprised at how slow it tells me to go on Z2 runs, and yet I keep getting faster. *I love this thing when following a plan or doing a race! It regularly tells me (via AirPods) when I’m going too fast or too slow. It helps me stay solidly in my training zone. Then, during a race, you can tell it what finish time you want to hit and it will keep you on track the whole time! I don’t think I would’ve hit my PR without that. Just a quick glance at my watch and I immediately knew how many seconds I was ahead or behind my plan. *i love the touch screen but will say that the majority of the time I’m using the buttons to navigate. Took me a minute to figure out what they all did. *the battery life!!! Coming from Apple Watch, I was floored that this thing lasts for literally over a week on one charge. Come on Apple, get it together with the battery life! A few cons: *this watch is not small. I actually kinda like the large size but as a woman on the smaller side of average, it’s pretty bulky. Which leads me to.. *I never sleep with it (it’s too big to be comfortable) which means that my training readiness/body battery isn’t as accurate as it could be. I did try sleeping with it the first week but it did a terrible job of tracking my sleep. Seemed to only notice when I was sleeping from 6am on…?? *the Garmin is definitely not a smart watch. Sure, it tells you when someone is calling or has texted but there’s no communication from the watch to the phone (no answering calls, responding to texts). I found myself constantly irritated that I couldn’t send a quick reaction to a text from my watch like usual. (I now only wear my garmin for workouts and put my Apple Watch back on for the rest of the day) *BEWARE the dreaded blue triangle. About a month after having this, a blue triangle showed up on screen and I couldn’t get it to turn off/on or go away. After some googling, I realized it’s a common software glitch. There is a way to reboot it, but I had to do it three times in just a few days and that was annoying. So far so good though, it hasn’t happened in a long time. Overall, I’m thoroughly pleased with this purchase and feel like a legit athlete. I bought it mainly for its triathlon capabilities but haven’t trained for another tri yet. Unfortunately, the integrated Garmin coach only has running and cycling plans, but I did read that you can get a triathlon plan directly from the Garmin website (just haven’t tried it yet). ... show more

  • Treat yourself...
Color: Black Style: Non Solar Pattern Name: Smartwatch
Great watch, worth the price. I have had this watch for about 2.5 years. I am an everyday runner. I have no problems or issues with the Forerunner 955. It updates when appropriate; no battery issues. The computer app and the phone app work very well. The heart rate on the wrist is accurate to a degree, but it's not a medical device. I sleep and shower with this watch as well; the sleep recording is accurate. I highly recommend this Garmin Forerunner 955. I have owned previous Forerunners; the 955 is the best so far. Spend the money and treat yourself... ... show more

  • FANTASTIC WATCH
Color: Whitestone Style: Non Solar Pattern Name: Smartwatch
Where to begin... I bought this watch on some kind of super sale. I am not a watch guy, and always thought people with smart watches were just in the craze. Decided to take the leap since I already have a garmin bike computer, and I recently started running and swimming. I'll try to keep it short. There Are a million how to videos that show this watches features so I'll skip that This watch, is jammed pack with features. I don't even use them all there is so many. I love the ease of use, great tracking for running and swimming. Easy to start, pause and stop workouts. The touch screen works deceptively well under water? Its weird I've never seen a touch screen work when wet. The screen is plenty bright with sunglasses on outside, and I've been getting almost 2 weeks of battery with 7ish hours of logged activity a week. I love the morning report (I sleep with it on) The best part, hands down, is it works with the dexcom g7. For all you diabetic folks. There is dexcom and freestyle apps and watch faces to get your blood sugars right on there in a slightly delayed display. Love this watch, if you're in the fense like me, buy it. If you're friends have lower versions, talk smack ... show more
