    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.

  • 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.

    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.
