Lead the pack with Forerunner 955 Solar, the premium GPS running and triathlon smartwatch with Power Glass solar charging to extend battery life. The training readiness feature tells you when you’re primed for a productive session — while daily suggested workouts adapt to your performance and recovery alongside the race widget, which provides training tips, course details and completion time predictions. With morning report, you can get an overview of your sleep, recovery, training and more — as well as a picture of your overall health with heart rate variability (HRV) status (This device is intended to give an estimate of your activity and metrics). On the run, new multi-band GPS and full-color, built-in maps help you navigate confidently. And with traditional buttons and a touch display, it has never been easier to tap into your training status and know whether you’re training productively, peaking or strained. If you’re pushing toward the podium — or to the very limits — Forerunner 955 Solar is by your side with up to 20 days of battery life with solar charging in smartwatch mode (assuming all-day wear with 3 hours per day outside in 50,000 lux conditions).

  • Documentation

Q: Is this watch has calling and receiving call feature?

A: You can accept or decline calls on the watch but not speak to them from the watch.

Q: Will the Garmin 955 (Black) be available without solar at Best Buy? Only solar is available at this time. I feel like white would get too dirty after continual use and I can't justify the extra $100 for solar.

A: As a Best Buy customer I cannot speak to the availability of the product in question at Best Buy stores. However, you should be able to order the product if it’s available in stock. Shipping times are very reasonable.

Q: Is it's heart rate measurement compatible with Zwift? I mean it has the virtual race mode?

A: The data from your Garmin Connect account will sync to Zwift if you have it two programs set to sync.

  • Rated 5 out of 5 stars

    From Samsung to Garmin! No regrets!

    Decided to try out Garmin watches as I wanted to focus more on fitness. I did my research and went with the Garmin Forerunner 955 solar edition! Let me just say the battery alone is a game changer. My galaxy 5 pro would last 4 days maybe. Ive had my garmin for a 12 days and I still have 5 days left of battery at 38%. The solar definitely helps out! Dont plan on getting a full charge on only solar. The solar is meant to keep the battery from depleting and give it just a bit of extra juice depending on how much sun exposure you have. If anything just buy the none solar edition for $100 less if it helps. Anywho the apps it supprts are great. Tracking my runs is perfect with no hiccups. Great at keeping track of my sleep. And overall its a great watch! Hope this helps someone!
