Garmin Forerunner 55 Smartwatch - Black (42mm Case, GPS, Bluetooth) is rated 4.1 out of 5 by 551.

Rated 4 out of 5 by ka808 from Love the data it gathers - battery issues tho I bought this product 2 years ago. Over the 2 years, I have loved the features, I love the GPS tracking, and the ability to create workouts, the half marathon plans it provides. I did buy this product for the battery life, as I wanted to eventually run a full marathon. Now that I am finally beginning my first full marathon training, I have found my watch is having difficulty connecting to my phone during the run, and the battery is not as good, so it is struggling to not die during a 6+ mile run. It is disappointing. Overall, this watch has been fantastic these past 2 years and has tracked well my first 3 half-marathons and multiple other runs.

Rated 5 out of 5 by TacoTana86 from Great Watch for Beginners and Experienced Runners This is a great watch for both beginner runners and experienced runners looking for basic feature and ease of use! It’s functional and has all the features I’d want in a running watch. I’m used to the Fenix series so I was worried this would be a step down from that but I’m learning I don’t really need all those extra features. It’s got the body battery energy monitor that I like and the advanced running features that the Fenix had without having too much extra stuff. The battery life is pretty dang good! Only complaint would be there’s no strength training feature so I can’t track my strength workouts. Other than that it’s a perfect watch!

Rated 5 out of 5 by NewRunner from If you want to be healthy-Get One! I bought my Garmin Forerunner 55 on January 11, 2022. I love it! The features are so much better than the Fitbit I was wearing before. As a new runner I needed to monitor my miles and speed. not just steps. This device has so much more. It talks to My Fitness Pal so my calorie count is monitored as well. I am still learning how to use it, such as the mapping features, but it has seemed pretty easy so far (I’m 67, so electronics can be hard for me to figure out sometimes). Using the metrics of my Garmin I have lost 4 pounds so far, and today is only 2 weeks and 3 days since my purchase (I’m close to goal weight, CW: 153; GW: 135-140). Get one!

Rated 5 out of 5 by ney_ney1978 from Pretty good so far I have loved Garmin for years! I've had forerunners since the 15. With each one there has been updates and changes. The 55 is no different. I went with the aqua since it's my favorite color! I feel like it fits better on my arm with the removable bands instead of the slightly curved band of my 45. It does everything I need, tracking steps, heartrate, and everything else. I love the breath work option, and stair step option. I'm working on getting a better fitness age and volmax. It seems on this one though that the buttons have a more springy feel to them, but works good. Customer service at garmin is always accommodating and helpful.

Rated 1 out of 5 by KeBe from Underwhelming I received this watch as an work anniversary gift. I was excited to be able to see what Garmin was all about but was let down. I have owned Samsung smart watches, Citizen Smart watches and figured that this watch would be right inline with those. I guess I had an unreal expectation due to the quality of my previous watches. The watch is really basic, lacks functionality and does not have the same features that other smart watches have. It is hard to navigate the apps. It feels like an old school game boy system, honestly. I would say this is a great introduction to smart watches, but if you have experience with other brands I would stay away.

Rated 1 out of 5 by RC1978 from REALLY DISAPPOINTED!! Ι bought the watch from an e-shop a few days ago. I followed the instructions to set it up and it seemed to be fine. When I used it for running, I noticed huge discrepancies in both the mileage and pace it recorded. I used it again at the same time as an exact same watch of an acquaintance of mine which was tested to work correctly and the readings had deviations of approximately five minutes per km (!!). I really don't understand what I have to do to fix this and I am really disappointed because I spend a lot of money and I don't have a watch whitch could help me to to complete my preparation for the Athens marathon.

Rated 5 out of 5 by LRRob from Works Great!! I purchased the Forerunner to be paired with my Samsung Galaxy smartphone. The Forerunner is more compatible than any other watch/monitoring device I have yet tried. It syncs with my notifications and makes it really convenient to monitor my calls, texts and emails without having to get to my phone, especially when I am working out. I only wish you could control more from the Garmin Connect app on my phone such as when I am starting a workout. I get great feedback from the workout on the connect app, but can only start the workout from the Forerunner which is sometime hard to do when I am out running in the dark.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Runner - new to Garmin from I want to love it but... I realize that I need to take responsibility but it's hard to learn, not intuitive for me after years wearing the Apple iWatch. I decided to leave Apple when the face fell off my second iWatch but when it worked, I liked the features. My new Garmin in not comfortable for me on my wrist and none of the 50+ button clicks resulted in the simple takes I was attempting to do (turn the screen bright so I could see the face, start a run, turn the dial from one activity to the next from the screen with the activities) so I will need to go online and get to know my Garmin better. If I do and like it I will update my review!

Can you download music from Spotify to these watches?

Asked by: Jordync

Thanks for your question Jordan. The Garmin Forerunner 55 has the ability to control music playing through your phone and earphones, however, you will be unable to download the music to your device.
