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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great running watch

I'm so happy I bought this watch! I had a Fitbit Alta HR watch but it randomly died and I had to keep restarting it. I did a lot of research and compared different Garmin watches. I originally came equipped with a Forerunner 45S, but with the release of the new 55, which isn't significantly different in price, I've decided to stick with it. I have very small wrists and this looks good/fits well. (I was worried it would be too much.) All the stats are great and I especially like Garmin Coach which gives you workouts 3-4 days a week for 5k, 10k, half, etc. There are also workouts that you can choose from within the app. and you can create and upload different watch faces. The watch is water-resistant, making it suitable for showering and swimming, and the buttons and touchscreen are a good thing. Overall I have no complaints yet and would recommend it to anyone who runs or wants to start running.

Pros
  • Run your best with useful training tools including race time prediction and estimated finish time
Cons
  • I will add later
