Review on πŸƒ Garmin Forerunner 55: Your Ultimate GPS Running Watch with Daily Suggested Workouts and Long Battery Life by Chris Hunt

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Poor battery life - working GPS units

I 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.
