Review on Garmin Forerunner 55 Aqua - GPS Running Watch with Daily Suggested Workouts and Up to 2 Weeks Battery Life by Rashan Jimenez

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Poor battery life: GPS, viewfinder and accessories

Received this watch with high expectations. Like the looks, it's user-friendly and has more than enough features for me EXCEPT that I wish it had a "Strength Training" / "Gym" activity profile. 3 days after receiving my new watch, it was clear that my battery was severely drained, with no activity, just in smartwatch mode. I'll be lucky if I get 2-3 days of battery life. There was a problem with my watch and a software update is pending. After troubleshooting that deleted some files, the battery life improved a lot, but now after 6 days it's dead again. Contacted Garmin again and awaited a response. Very disappointing watch that is not even two weeks old.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Negative experience
