Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’ve been using the Garmin Forerunner 55 GPS Smartwatch for a while now, and it has proven to be an excellent tool for tracking my fitness journey. The GPS accuracy is impressive, and the race time predictor feature is a great motivator for improving my performance. I also appreciate the daily suggested workouts, which help me stay consistent and challenge myself. The watch is lightweight and comfortable to wear, even during long runs. The battery life is decent, lasting several days with regular use. However, the display resolution could be better—it feels a bit outdated compared to other smartwatches in the same price range. Overall, the Garmin Forerunner 55 is a solid choice for runners and fitness enthusiasts looking for a reliable and user-friendly smartwatch. I’d recommend it for anyone who wants to take their training to the next level.

The Forerunner 55 is an excellent fitness watch for someone looking for the bare essentials. I bought mine just as I was getting into running and it has helped me track and set goals as well as know exactly how hard I should be pushing myself. Despite this watch being a base model, Garmin packed in all the same great features you would find in the top of the line models. My only piece of advice would be that if you have larger wrists, it might be good to go ahead and get a larger watch band, because the one that comes with it is not very big.

Great watch! I connect it to Strava and the nike run app. I love it and I would def recommend it to other.I use it for all of my workouts so far.

This watch is excellent for people that are starting to train or running. The analysis of each activity is amazing. I wish it had other activities so I can make a progress report. The suggestions are on-point. The connect app lets you see the progress and the areas need of improvement.

I love this watch it’s perfect for my job it helps me track my personal goals for steps, workouts, sleep, and stress it’s very good for what I do because it’s not touch screen or cellular.

Great watch, it has all the basic options needed for regular exercising, it looks great and not bulky. Battery life is amazing compared to apple watch and other watches.

This is an excellent watch with great battery life. It does everything that I need it to do sleep tracking, step counting, tracking exercise, heart rate and stress monitoring.

My grandson wanted this as a birthday present not monitor his middle hook workouts and he is thrilled with the results. Picture below has James wearing his watch on the first day of school this week.

This watch meets my expectations, very good heart rate detection, plus it is very easy to associate with the cell phone

For the price, you're getting an middle level Garmin exercise watch. There's only one complaint that I have about the watch during my ownership and it's the lackluster GPS. It only tracks where you go, but cannot put it onto a map. This means that you can't use it for directions, other than this small complaint, the watch is brilliant at what it does.

Quality and the use of the product is very good. Very useful in my daily activities.

The watch works amazing great running watch reccomend!!!

I love this watch, it tracks everything I need! Great quality and long lasting battery. Also it's very easy to use.

It tracks all the important info I really need!! I love the garmin coach !

Nice entry level Garmin. Use in car racing. Great for hiking,walking,and 5k

Good overall product, is able to track majority of fitness goals of an average person. With many different options for more intense physical goals as well. While it can do a lot, there are some limitations. Running in closed loop tracks will throw off the gps tracking system, as well as the heart rate tracker has been off a few times. Overall it is a decent watch for a reasonable price

Bought this for my grandson and he loves it. He's a recent college grad and new employee and coaches soccer. Finds it very useful.

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.

perfect just what i needed i needed a good gps for running marathons

Needed a watch to replace my Fitbit Luxe. Went with the Gartner Forerunner 55. Excellent battery life and accurate step tracking
