## Overview

The Garmin Forerunner 55 is a lightweight, GPS running smartwatch designed for runners seeking precise pace and distance tracking, personalized daily workouts, and advanced wellness monitoring. With up to two weeks of battery life, wrist-based heart rate, and customizable features via the Connect IQ Store, it empowers you to train smarter and stay connected without the bulk or complexity of high-end multisport watches.

## Description

See yourself as a runner. Forerunner® 55 is the GPS running smartwatch that goes beyond pace and heart rate (this is not a medical device) stats. Take the guesswork out of training with personalized guidance and daily suggested workouts based on your training history and fitness level. Change things up with HIIT and breathwork activity profiles. Advanced wellness tracking features, such as all-day respiration monitoring, intensity minutes and more, put you in tune with your body. Get more runs in between charges, thanks to this watch’s long battery life, and make it truly your own by downloading watch faces, apps and more from the Connect IQ™ Store (requires Garmin Connect™ app and Connect IQ™ app loaded on a compatible smartphone).

Review: Perfect workout watch - Great watch, I use this everyday and only need to charge like twice a month. The alarm vibrations don’t get me up as easily in the mornings as my Apple Watch, but that’s the ONLY complaint. It shows all notifications, but I only like seeing calls and texts on here, and tracks my runs and workouts great. Does NOT have strength training options like the 265 or Fenix series, but that’s alright, I use HIIT for weights and can change it in the app if I want to track more specifically what I did. It had about two weeks of this weird Bluetooth connection, it was connected to my phone but showed a code like it needed to connect to something, restarted it a couple times and it’s been gone for about a month or more now.
Review: Good, basic watch for running. - I had two of the old gray and orange Forerunners, but since things don't last forever, they both finally failed. I was dreading shopping for a replacement because I don't want all the fancy stuff that most watches have these days. I just want the basics (time, distance, average pace), and I want ease of operation. I have been very pleased with this watch. It's not much more complicated than the old one, and it's much lighter. The charge lasts much longer, too. I do half marathons, and I can easity get three runs before it needs to be recharged.
