About this product
The Garmin Forerunner 55 is your running companion that makes GPS tracking simple and effective. Built for runners who want to focus on their goals without fuss, this GPS smartwatch tracks your pace, distance, speed and heart rate from your wrist with just one button press. The 26.3mm memory-in-pixel display stays readable in bright sunlight, while built-in GPS lets you leave your mobile behind and still capture every metre of your route. With up to 14 days of battery life in smartwatch mode, you'll spend more time running and less time charging.
Get real-time heart rate data from your wrist, plus alerts if your heart rate stays elevated while resting. The watch tracks daily steps and sleep, giving a full picture of your health. Built-in incident detection can share your location with emergency contacts during outdoor activities when paired with your mobile. Stay connected with smart notifications for texts, emails and alerts. It's water-resistant, swimproof, weighs 37g, fits wrists 126-203mm, works with iOS and Android, supports Garmin QuickFit bands, includes a charging cable, and has a 2-year manufacturer's guarantee.
Easy-to-use GPS running smartwatch monitors heart rate at the wrist and uses GPS to track how far, how fast and where you've run.
Wrist-Based Heart Rate. Get heart rate data along with alerts if your heart rate stays high while you're at rest. Even gauge how hard your heart is working during activities.
Safety And Tracking Features. When your running watch and phone are paired, your live location can be sent to your contacts manually or — during select outdoor activities — automatically with built-in incident detection.
Smart Notifications. Receive emails, texts and alerts right on your running smartwatch paired with your compatible smartphone.

Good smartwatch
I had a Forerunner 45 that broke so decided to get this newer version, and they actually have improved it quite a lot. The strap design makes it better suited for slim wrists despite the face size being the same. I also like that the face shows you seconds. My only annoyance is I can’t find how to play around with the notifications from my phone, and somehow notifications are getting past my app blocker.

Great starter watch
Being new to running this is brilliant. Tracks everything you need. Can link with strava so no more phones on short runs anymore.

Really happy with this product, only slight negative is the screen could have been slightly bigger. Easy to use, accurate and has good battery life.
