  • 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!
