Lead the pack with Forerunner 955, the premium GPS running and triathlon smartwatch. 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 is by your side with up to 15 days of battery life in smartwatch mode.

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.
