Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was looking for an entry level GPS tracking watch at a fair price. This exceeded the expectation. The GPS is accurate. The Garmin Connect app helps me track my data and the challenges encourage me to push myself. The Only down fall I can mention, it has a fairly simplistic display face.

My mom's doctor suggested that she get a smart watch to keep track of her steps, sleep and heart rate. After reviewing a few different brands I decided to go with this one for her and she loves it. She's not the most tech savvy person, but this watch is easy to use and navigate. I would definitely recommend this, especially for someone 65+.

I am a long time user of Garmins. My Forerunner 35 lasted over 10 years. The 55 model is the upgraded replacement. An easy to use GPS watch, pretty much basic, but exactly what I wanted/needed. You barely need the manual, everything works just like before. I had it set up within 5 minutes. The use is very intuitive. Looking for a basic GPS watch to register your runs? Yhis is a great option.

Amazing watch. Really basic but useful. I am not the biggest fan of the low quality screen compared to the newer models. Worth the money

Bought this for my son since he started cross country. He's enjoyed having all the tech with running. It shows your projected pace, calculates cool down time and recovery. He doesn't wear it when he is not running- just a preference of his since he's not used to wearing watched. The app works great and also works with Strava so his coach can see his milage and times.

Great watch for basic tracking. Battery life is phenomenal. I sometimes get a full two weeks. App sometimes needs refreshed but overall great.

My 16 year old loves it. Great functionality. Perfect size. Not too bulky. Great battery life.

Good watch. Great battery life. Light too. Use it everyday.

A very simple watch that just works, fits nice on smaller wrists and has very little bloat to the software

it fits. it worke. I keeps time and distance. It does a lot more but I don't need the rest

I bought this to train for my first half marathon and the process of purchasing down to delivery was flawless. The product itself works awesome. The battery life is unbeatable. Setting the watch up was unbelievably easy.

I love this watch battery life is INSANE. I’ve had it for a month and have charged it twice. So much better than Apple Watch, and had no troubles going through Best Buy, would 100% recommend for a beginner/ intermediate runner

My daughter runs cross country and she absolutely lives this watch. It holds a good charge for days and it’s very lightweight on her wrist. It has all the features to help monitor her mileage, pace, heart rate, etc. It’s a great watch!

The family has an older version of this with not as many features. We bought this for one member and it's great for monitoring workouts and also linking to the phone to at least see messages. The Thanksgiving time price was an amazing deal as well.

I am a runner and this Garmin watch has really helped my training with training plans, heart-rate tracking, rest recommendations, and more. For the price, you can't beat the Forerunner 55.

Ive had this watch for awhile now and had tested it through a lap swim multiple times. I have no regret and any complaints really- its a good watch for the price ! f you're looking for somewhat simpler this might not be yours but if you want something thats advance and can do a lot, this is a good budget option!

Love my new garmin. Upgraded from a fitbit luxe, well worth it!

Needed to replace my dead Garmin 9xx smart watch I use as an odometer and speedometer to track cycling and kayaking. Tried a less expensive model but the face was too small. This model is larger and has more features. A bit harder to operate than my old one, but has more functions.

I bought this watch as a starter watch for my eighth grade son who is in cross country. The watch has been very good for him to track his pace, time heart rate, and all the things that his coach is asking him to keep track. On top of the tracking purposes and also has a coaching program that can set workouts for him to achieve goals which he has used to increase his per mile time. Overall, I am super satisfied with this watch and think that it is a great purchase for anybody looking to track their running efforts.

Price is great for quality assurance both with software and hardware. Unfortunately it is not touch screen. Gps accuracy for runs is about +/-0.01 based on my use. Battery last about 5 days on heavy use. If you're looking for a watch in this price point it does not disappoint.
