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).

  • Compatibility: Compatible with iPhone and Android devices
  • Charge less: Battery life: up to 20 days of battery life in smartwatch mode for a full picture of your health — from sleep to training (assuming all-day wear with 3 hours per day outside in 50,000 lux conditions)
  • Charge less continued: up to 42 hours in GPS mode and up to 49 hours with solar charging (assuming continuous use for entire period in 50,000 lux conditions); up to 110 hours in UltraTrac mode with solar charging (assuming use in 50,000 lux conditions)
  • Always-on display: Built with an always-on, full-color display that’s light on the wrist and easy to read even in direct sunlight
  • Touchscreen: Click or swipe through maps and stats with traditional button controls or a new, responsive touchscreen
  • Built-in mapping: Whether you’re running on city streets or riding densely covered trails, Forerunner 955 provides full-color, built-in mapping to keep you on track
  • Multi-band satellite: Access multiple global navigation satellite systems, and get access to multiple frequencies sent by navigation satellites for improved accuracy in areas where GNSS signals are reflected, weak or typically don't penetrate
  • Training readiness: From the moment you wake up, get a training readiness score based on your sleep quality, recovery, training and more, so you can determine whether it’s a good day to go hard — or take it easy
  • Race widget: Get ready for your next race with race widget — which provides training tips, personalized daily suggested workouts and completion time predictions based on course details, weather and performance
  • Training status: Using new indicators such as HRV status, your recent exercise history and performance, get an easy insight into your overall effort with training status — and know whether you’re training productively, peaking or strained
  • Morning report: Receive an overview of your sleep, recovery and training outlook as soon as you wake up with morning report — alongside HRV status, training readiness and weather; you can even customize your report to show what you want to see
  • HRV Status: With HRV status, gain a deeper understanding of your overall health, recovery and training performance through HRV while you sleep, based on technology developed by our Firstbeat Analytics team (This device is intended to give an estimate of your activity and metrics)
  • Daily workouts: With daily suggested workouts, view your entire week of daily suggested workouts, which adapt after every run to match your performance and recovery
  • Running power: With running power, get a continuous measurement on your wrist of how much power you’re applying to the road as you run when using a Running Dynamics Pod or HRM-Pro monitor (sold separately)
  • Performance metrics: Use real-time stamina to track and manage your exertion — and help avoid overexerting at the start of your run or bike ride
  • Running dynamics: When using a Running Dynamics Pod or HRM-Pro monitor (sold separately), the Forerunner 955 watch measures crucial running metrics such as cadence, stride length, ground contact time and balance, and more

  • 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.
