    Watch is excellent, highly recommend. My teenage son has been wearing it for over a month and has not complained about a single feature. Watch also lasts a long time. Alerts him when his phone is on silent that he has a message, makes communicating with him a lot easier when he is at work or at school.

    This has been an excellent watch. I have now used it for a couple of months for preparation for a triathlon. Very satisfied performed much better than my Apple Watch. Would recommend if you're looking for a training watch over a lifestyle one.

    Clear, comfortable watch with all the functions you need to track your running. I’ve been using this paired to my Runna app to train for my first half marathon and it’s been one of the best parts of the experience!

    I use this strictly for running and sleep monitoring. It works so well for both. Upgraded from the Amazfit Bip 3 after it broke, and this is so much better for running. If you want extra features, go with an apple watch. But if you only care about running, get this one. Be warned, no touch screen, the OS is ancient, and it has 0 processing power. Don’t expect a flashy apple product. This is just a tool for running, and it does a fantastic job.

    Affordable GPS watch with a lot of useful stats

    Very practical. The app gives you good stats on the run (average speed, calories, heart rate and others), it is accurate on the miles ran, it knows when you are running (and not stopped waiting for a traffic light). It also gives you stats about your stress level. This was a big plus I did not expected.

    I have used multiple 310xt's, new, refurb, and repaired for 20 years. Moving to the 55 was concerning. While I have had to learn some new tricks, the 55 has been great to use.

    The watch itself is okay except that the bezel is too small and some of the letters are unreadable sometimes. Their customer service people are very knowledgeable and helpful.
