Background: I’ve had Apple Watches since they came out and used them as my sole fitness tracker. I decided to switch to Garmin for a much more dialed in fitness and running watch. In that aspect it far exceeds my expectationsThe suggested workouts and tailoring to races on specific dates is incredible.

If you’ve been deciding a forerunner over an Apple Watch or Garmin in general I hope my review helps.1- The battery life alone is insane. I got my watch 09SEP and didn’t have to charge it until 21SEP. That’s with multiple workouts in a day, downloading music onto my watch, updating my settings, and overall just playing around with it.2.The user interface is simple, and you don’t have to rely on the touchscreen while working out! All you have to use is the side buttons. It takes some getting use to if you went from an Apple Watch, but I never realized how much more convenient it is while running/exercising!3- The morning report is super cool, and gives you pretty accurate data. Sleep reports, body battery, recovery time, recommended workouts, etc. It’s honestly ...

I have Narcolepsy and I was interested in seeing how accurate it tracks my sleep and it sure enough is accurate.5- This watch doesn’t have a super great display or brightness, but that something that doesn’t even bother me. When exercising outside in the sun, the screen is VERY clear. I don’t know how to explain it, but even with sunglasses this thing is crisp.6- I transitioned into barefoot running/zero drop shoes and wanted to keep better track of my running stats. I’m not a marathon runner or anything like that, but that stats it provides has actually improved my times. This relates back to number 5 above actually. When running I run on trails usually and the fact that I can just bring my wrist up and easily see the screen is amazing.Overall- it’s expensive, but comparing this to an Apple Watch? Hands down choose this. Garmin focuses on you and your health. Never would’ve thought I would’ve loved a watch as much as I do now.

I was really excited to “upgrade” from my excellent and reliable Forerunner 245M. I was looking forward to the larger screen and additional training features. Unfortunately, after more than 7 months, the software is still extremely buggy.I wish Garmin would simply make a light-weight (50g) variant of the Fenix line for triathletes. It’s frustrating that Garmin doesn’t use the same base software on Fenix and Forerunner lines because the Fenix is more stable.Additionally, the glass bezel (black ring around the usable screen) is too big. I thought it wouldn’t bother me that much when I bought it, but I was wrong. The screen looks very dated.I can’t recommend this watch.

Over the last 30+ years I've had a Forerunner 310-610-620-725-735 & now a 955. The 955 is hands down the best Garmin device I've ever owned. If I'm honest, however, it's way more device than I need anymore. I'm 73 & long past my marathon/triathon days. I got the 955 to replace my worn out 725. It wasn't much more $$$ & I was frankly curious about whether or not there were really discernable differences. There are! The active interface & available apps are fantastic! I truly wish I'd had a device this powerful when I was an active runner & training seriously. I recommend it highly. The only gotcha' about my 955 is I've had to recycle the Touch Interface control twice in the month. For some unknown reason the touch control goes bad after a couple weeks. Recycling the ...

The only gotcha' about my 955 is I've had to recycle the Touch Interface control twice in the month. For some unknown reason the touch control goes bad after a couple weeks. Recycling the Touch control ON/OFF button 'fixes' it - for another couple weeks. For any old guy reading this & no longer into serious training this is not the device for you. Unless like me you have more money than good sense.
I’ve switched from a forerunner 245M, a 945 LTE, and now a 955 watch. While I loved the option for LTE with my 945, I simply couldn’t resist higher music storage, more accurate GPS tracking, and the addition of a touch screen.I’d say firstly that the best of all these additions was the GPS tracking: it’s extremely fast at getting a reliable signal and I love being able to review my tracks now that they can encapsulate a better picture of my running journeys, and I have yet to encounter an offensive case of miscalculated distances or speeds. The multiband is simply a great spec to have. As for the rest of the features, I’d say they are relatively subjective in their usefulness. I like listening to podcasts on my runs, so having a higher capacity for music and stuff ... MoreI’ve switched from a forerunner 245M, a 945 LTE, and now a 955 watch.

The multiband is simply a great spec to have. As for the rest of the features, I’d say they are relatively subjective in their usefulness. I like listening to podcasts on my runs, so having a higher capacity for music and stuff like that is a nice thing to have in a watch of this price range. I also do find myself using the touchscreen quite a bit as it’s especially useful for scrolling the menus and viewing the navigation map: the best part of having such a thing on this device. I do feel it is underutilized in some places however, as I think it doesn’t quite make sense not to have a qwerty style keyboard for quick messages, at least for android as iOS is still very exclusive to the ecosystem that Apple has built. All the other features of this watch are pretty much the same as all the available options from Garmin though. I know it now sports a new sensor for supposedly more accurate heart rate monitoring, pulse ox monitoring, and is now being used to calculate HRV, but honestly I haven’t yet observed a drastic improvement over the previous sensor in terms of accuracy. But, for the price Garmin has posted for the 955, it’s a pretty good deal: you get the latest and greatest tech from Garmin in a lightweight device that will last years for a price much cheaper than even their last gen forerunner 945/945 LTE. I really love this device and the practical aspects of owning a Garmin watch, as battery life is fantastic while offering advanced training metrics and options to get users fit, and as a standalone watch, of course it gives you everything you’d want from one, and has mostly satisfactory smart features, though as I mentioned with the lack of a proper keyboard, it still is a bit away from being a perfect hybrid of a sportwatch and smartwatch, but it’s close enough for now.However, there is one big flaw with this device, and that is the numerous bugs. Sometimes I hold the music button and before I can even scroll or do anything, the menu backs out. The map navigation was only a few weeks ago rather finicky with the tough screen, as even a little swipe to the left backed out of the map and moving about the image was really tricky, though it appears to have been fixed in the 11.12 version update. People have also noticed that editing power/heart rate zones is useless as the watch will just revert back to syncing its own calculated values. People have noted battery drain issues as well, though I can’t personally attest to that, it just seems to be a common problem given how many complain about it. Luckily though, Garmin seems to be patching all these things, and that’s the best part at least: all the bugs are absolutely fixable through software, and at the very least, the core functionality of the watch seems to be very stable and usable, which is why I’ve given this product a 4/5 and not a 3.Overall, you’re getting the best of the forerunner Garmin watches in one device, with a better price, and you are also getting new key features and more in the future. I think altogether if you’re new to the Garmin world and want to pick up a watch now for running or marathoning and want more longevity from your purchase, I’d totally recommend this watch or the cheaper 255 as it does pretty much the same things, just less music storage, no touch screen, and shorter battery life.
I had used an original Garmin Vivo Active since about 2016. It was a good watch and served me well but it had gotten a cracked screen and was starting to glitch a bit (hard to charge, distances not quite correct on some runs). Six years for a fitness watch was a good run so I requested the 955 as a Christmas present and was so happy to unwrap it on Christmas morning. The features and functionality are so much more advanced (obviously). I feel like I graduated from the kids table to the adult table. I have been using the Garmin Coach in Connect for a half marathon training plan and love it. I like to be able to get music from my watch and run free without the phone. I like the option to use the touch screen or the buttons to navigate. I love all the health data I am ... MoreI had used an original Garmin Vivo Active since about 2016.

I bought the Forerunner 955 two weeks ago, it’s been on my wrist 24/7 ever since that day. I love it, before the 955 I used to wear a Fenix 5 Plus and boy there is a big difference between them. First think I noticed the weight of course, FR 955 is very light hardly noticeable. I mainly bought the FR955 because of the multi gps bands it has. My Fenix 5+was/is very good on that area, but the FR 955 is much better 99%spot on, it takes like 3to4 seconds to acquire the GPS signal but once is connected it stays connected, I love the morning reports, battery life so far it’s been very good, it lasts a whole week, I use the GPS on average for one hour every day, on days I have long runs, it could go up to two hours, with notifications on except during sleep time, no music, ...

So maybe all that helps with the battery usage. My only cons are that I wish the watch face colors were a little brighter and with more colors to choose from and that the native watch faces were more flexible with the data I want to see at a glance, for example I like to have the battery icon and percent on my watch faces, but not all the watch faces let me add it. I bought the white model, because I thought it would match better with all my Fenix 5+ bands I have and I was not wrong. I really like too all the data I get now, the F5+ doesn’t have all the thing that my FR 955 has, so it was time for an upgrade. Next I think I am going to get the HRM Pro Plus for even more data than I can understand, but that is great to have.
I just upgraded from the Fenix 5 to the 955 and I cannot believe the enhanced technology!!- Garmin pay is great and so convenient.- Audible alerts when running is great to alert me of my pace of HR zone.- The touchscreen is very convenient but doesn’t cause issues when working out.- Download music for listening when I want to preserve my phone battery on king rides.- The morning report of sleep, recovery HRV etc gives me imperial data on my recovery from the prior day.- the display is magnificent- it’s lighter, but looks like a watch ready to workout- I wish it had the quick release watch band, but you can convert the watch to quick release yourself so you can easily switch bands to match your bike, run kit out business attire.My only regret is ...

Bought this about 3 weeks ago and loving it. Made the switch to Garmin because I wanted something more running oriented. Battery life is great. I've only had to charge it twice so far. Has all the features I wanted and very easy interface to learn.I'm not crazy about silicone bands in general so I had a stretchy nylon ordered to arrive around the same time. Figuring out the pins to switch the band out was tough but then I just Googled it. Piece of cake.I've used it primarily for runs and walks but can't wait to take it out for other activities. I was nervous at first about buying as it seemed a bit big. It did seem big when it came out of the box and I put it on the for the first time but it wasn't that much bigger than my previous watch. I have a 7" wrist ... MoreBought this about 3 weeks ago and loving it. Made the switch to Garmin because I wanted something more running oriented. Battery life is great.

This watch does it all. A mindboggling, at times, myriad of activity/applications to choose from. Triathlete activities pre-loaded, but easily removed and/or customizeable, keep the ones you want remove those you do not. Add many others, Nordic, Class, Back Country, Cross-Country Skiing options (for me) Downhill, etc for those that like the lifts and the mountain. Golf, (not so much me) Hiking, Walking, Running, Cycling (road, gravel, mountain, wow!) All me, and Yoga (who is not interested in some flexibility?) Pickle Ball (everyone seems to be playing it) and on and on and on.Those are just activities, how about music? 2,000 songs and or podcast space is available on your watch if you like to groove or catch up on your favorite podcasts while on the active move? ...

Check out dozens of you tube tutorials for added use insights and get out there and have fun in the post pandemic times, it is time to shake off that couch and the FR 955 will help you do so and not need to be tethered to the PC recharging, with a battery that can last up to ~ 14 days so you can get off your softer bits and firm them up for a healthier you!
