Great Watch For The Affordable Price

Highly recommend! Easy to use, helps me monitor my workouts, sleep. I really like them.

Hand-me-down From Teenage Son

My teenage son upgraded his Garmin Forerunner 55 watch with one that has more triathlon features and asked me if I wanted his old 55. I told him I’m not a runner, but he said you can track more than running. So, I’ve been wearing it for almost four weeks and LOVE it! It tracks my time on the elliptical, walking, weights, etc, heart rate, steps, stress, etc. It even has routines for stretching, dumbbells, and yoga. This is not just for the young!

Good

I’m in love and really obsessed with this little watch.

Verstile And Durable

I bought 3 for my family and each of us has customized it for our specific needs. We've been able to reach step goals, practice better sleeping habits, & set up/monitor high/low abnormal heartrate alerts that remind us to focus on stress-reduction practices. Paired with the app it has helped us keep active and engaged with each other's location and activities. The 'Challenge' section keeps us in touch with relatives. It works well in the pool and shower; just be sure to let the wristband dry thoroughly before putting back on, sensitive skin may get a temporary irritation rash. My Autistic Teenager has embraced this tech with enthusiasm, although there was a slight learning curve. They especially like the 'live track' option, because they are ready to practice independence in their surroundings, but understand we need to make sure they're safe. They use the 'find my phone' feature, 'notifications' for text, and the weather/calendar options to accurately prepare for their day. The Downside: the bluetooth connectivity can be faulty in and out of water, just start your activity before heading into the pool or hot tub. Battery life is decent, just keep an eye at 10% or lower because you might not hear or feel the vibrating beeps. Speaking of vibrations; I have nerve damage on one side, and I cannot feel the vibrations on the wrist; so I wear it on the uninjured side. If they could up to vibrations and solve the disconnection issue, I'd give it a 5.

Forerunner 55

I bought this a few weeks ago to replace my Forerunner 45S. I was a bit apprehensive because technology and I don't always play well together! But it is easy to navigate and it is fun to wear.
