Worth it!
Been running with my forerunner 955 for about a month now and it’s been life changing!! I love how I can send my location to my partner and he can send me notifications while I run. Overall battery is really good! I think I’ve only charged my watch about 4 times for 30 min each and it last me a while and that’s using gps, music, live tracking feature, etc.
