Customer Reviews
I had two of the old gray and orange Forerunners, but since things don't last forever, they both finally failed. I was dreading shopping for a replacement because I don't want all the fancy stuff that most watches have these days. I just want the basics (time, distance, average pace), and I want ease of operation. I have been very pleased with this watch. It's not much more complicated than the old one, and it's much lighter. The charge lasts much longer, too. I do half marathons, and I can easity get three runs before it needs to be recharged.
The Garmin Forerunner 55 is an excellent entry-level GPS running watch that punches well above its price point. Designed for beginner to intermediate runners, it offers accurate GPS tracking, heart rate monitoring, and essential training features without overwhelming users with complexity.
