Review: BEST WATCH - Hands down my new favorite watch! I love everything about it! I do a lot of running and other exercises, but wanted something reliable and cheap so that when it comes to inevitably replacing it I wont have to break the bank. I've tried several fitbits (charge 6, inspire 3, HR) and the google pixel watch 2 too, but none of those compare to this Garmin Forerunner 55. The GPS on this Forerunner 55 is ACCURATE. It's waaaaaay better than the built in GPS on any of the fitbit watches. This watch is so simple to use use and I think that's what I like the most about it. The interface on both the watch and the app tells you so much useful data and lets you organize it any way you want. You can even create your own watch faces and use whatever picture you want!!! I didn't realize that when I bought it, but I freakin love the customization on this watch. The watch is easy to read when it's super bright outside and it's waterproof up to 50m too! My only gripe is that there isn't a strength activity to track which makes sense because this is primarily a running watch. To fix this I just set it to track cardio and turn gps off when I'm tracking a strength workout so that I can still log time, calories, heart rate. Then I just rename the workout to "strength" or whatever.
Review: Great watch for exercise -- a winner - I have owned this watch for a while so that I'm now familiar with many (but not all) of its functions. I originally used it for running. Now I use it for walking/hiking, cardio workouts, HIIT, and strength training. And that is just scratching surface of what it will do (please don't ask about other functions -- there are many I have not used). It holds a charge well and the time it takes to recharge is fast. The watch receives a GPS signal quickly when preparing to walk or run. When saving an exercise activity, it will sync to your smartphone. You can then upload the data to the Garmin online app. You can review the details of your activity when done with the phone app which provides a wealth of information. The heart rate data appears to be reasonably accurate when I have compared its measure of resting rate to that of other devices. Finally, if you get a text message to your phone and the phone is nearby (in your pocket, etc), the text will briefly appear on the watch. While it is not the top of the line Garmin watch, I am hard pressed to find any fault with it. Sure, some Garmin models play music. But on those occasions where I want music, I can either use my phone or my mp3 player.
