    I was using a Huawei, and it was giving me so much trouble connecting to my iPhone. So, I could not get running data to see how I was progressing. This watch gives me so much more information, and delivers it right to my phone so easily.

    Bought this for my gf as an early bday gift. She runs quite a bit now and wanted a watch to where she doesn’t have to pull her phone out to track her pace, distance, and times. Garmin is top of the line quality on all their products. I soon will be getting the 7x for myself!

    Very happy with this purchase. Got this when my forerunner 35 broke after at least 5 years of daily use and abuse. This one is easy to use, screen is clear and buttons are simple. Highly recommended

    My Forerunner 55 wore out and I was looking for a comparable replacement. This has all I need and did not break the bank. HR, steps and tracking of your workouts. Battery life is excellent. Would recommend.

    This Forerunner 55 is a lower priced Garmin, but I'm amazed - the GPS results are right there with the more expensive Garmins. (One little drawback with the 55 is the little msg that pops up "Wait for GPS"... and it takes maybe 10 or 15 seconds! Ha. I can deal with that.

    I mainly use it to track runs. I used to have a fenix, and I would say if you're only using it to log activity, save some money with a watch that does the same thing. Battery life usually last me two weeks.

    Very good basic smartwatch.

    It's fairly basic and doesn't do anything special. Navigation is through buttons as it doesn't have a touch screen. But using the Garmin Connect app allows you to easily check your stats and change some settings.
