Superb device for its price.

  • Battery.
  • Operation via the five (5) buttons.
  • Good screen
  • When sweating heavily, the band causes a rash on my wrist.

The Garmin Forerunner 55 does an excellent job of what Garmin advertises.
After a week of use I am at 25% battery.
This is a combination of use in standby, with sleep tracking and 6 hours of GPS use (walking, cycling,..).
Brilliant battery!
I bought this watch largely because I didn't want a touchscreen.
Using the five buttons takes some getting used to, but works fine.
The screen is easy to read in direct sunlight, in the dark you can only read it when the backlight is on.
This can be operated via a button or with a twist of your wrist (you have to turn it on in the settings).
My scary point about the screen is that it is a bit small for the size of the watch case. But after a week of use you learn to live with it.
The sleep tracking works well and works together with the body battery.
These are very accurate. The scores correspond very well with how you feel.
The sports features are more than enough for the target audience for which this device is intended.
My scary real negatives are that the pedometer doesn't always register properly.
Sometimes he gives too many steps as a shake with your arm and if you keep your arm still while walking he sometimes misses some steps.
These are the pain points of most pedometers, but still a shame.
The last downside is: if I sweat very hard, my wrist is slightly irritated under the strap.
However, this is only with heavy efforts and not with normal use.

Looking back on my pluses and minuses, the Garmin Forerunner 55 is a very good device for its price.
There are more pluses than minuses so definitely recommended.

Extremely satisfied

  • Energy-efficient screen, extremely efficient
  • Energy-efficient screen super clear in daylight
  • Sensors work better than expected
  • Energy-efficient screen is less attractive than AMOLED

Disclaimer: I am not an athlete...I just wanted a watch to be able to view the time and email notifications without having to keep taking out my smartphone, and one that can measure my heart rate and sleep rhythm. Then the forerunner is a strange choice because this is emphatically a watch for athletes. But due to circumstances (stock, eco vouchers, model, battery life...) I ultimately ended up with the Forerunner.

And I don't regret it.

- The screen: You have to pay attention here! I'm not going to elaborate endlessly on how a MIP screen works (interesting, google it) but it does work differently than what you are used to from an AMOLED/LCD screen or something like that on your smartphone, compare it a bit with how a classic digital watch worked, the screen is always on, but you need some ambient light to see what is on the screen, if there is no light there is a button (or a motion sensor) to turn on a backlight briefly. It takes some adjusting, but it does provide fantastic battery life and I think it's worth it. If you look at expensive fancy watches with LED screens that need to be charged every day...no thanks.

- The sensors: I was very skeptical about the idea that a watch can tell you how well you sleep, for example (and I maintain that these are not miracle cures), but Garmin's sensors/software are well put together. Maybe logical for a watch for runners... anyway, the sleep reports/body battery/stress meter/... all correspond quite well with what I experience in reality, so I can only be impressed by that .
As mentioned, I am not an athlete myself, but I have only read good things about the quality of the data that the watch collects.

- The App: there is criticism that it is too complicated. I don't want to sound arrogant, but if you have some experience with Android you should be able to get through this without any problems, right? An Apple watch is probably much easier to operate, but to say that this is a BAD experience? No... On the contrary, I would like to say that the Garmin App has enormous possibilities in terms of sports activities, and is also expandable via their own small "app store" where you can download additional activities and adjust the look of your watch.
And since this is all FREE.... this is really a big plus.

- The design is classic sporty without too many frills, I think it's great, but that's personal of course. The materials used are not premium, mainly plastics, but they are nicely finished and come across well, no problems there.

- As mentioned, I have turned on the notifications for emails and they appear smoothly on the watch. You can even read the email if you want :p. I would advise not to let ALL notifications go through because then you will go crazy... But you can choose it.

The best watch for the novice and advanced runner.

  • Battery life
  • Features at the level of more expensive Garmin models
  • Small and light design
  • Screen is a bit small and low in resolution

I was looking for a watch that could replace my unstable Polar vantage M that had already been returned 2x for repair. The screen is a bit less, but the wearing comfort and stability/functionality is the best in its price range.
