Excellent product
Bought the Garmin 55 watch for cycling rather than running, does all I want it to and more, really comfy to wear, and the battery life is excellent, couldn’t be happier with this product.

Grata battery life
I have had the watch on for over a week and not had to charge! It’s easy to use and great price

Great piece of kit
I've used this a few times and it does what I need and more. For me who just wants distance,time and pace I found it a bit to complicated but for a normal tech savvy person it will be perfect.
Technophobic, 55 - 64, Bournemouth
Excellent
Genuinely all the running watch you’ll ever need. That’s from a 2:40 marathon runner preparing for their 5th of the 6 Majors.
Karaoke kid, 45 - 54, Wales
Good
Very good, very good!

Great watch, amazing service!
I'd been looking for a new smart watch for a while, as my old one was OLD and starting to die. I then ordered a Garmin from Amazon, to receive an EMPTY BOX. After finally getting a refund issued, I decided to go with a different retailer, and I'm so glad I used Argos - I ordered it online and collected it the same day, and have had nothing but joy with the watch since! I've recently started getting properly into running, and the pace pro features, and the feedback data from runs are phenomenal. I'd recommend this as an entry level runners watch to anyone!

I can advise the following for the Garmin Forerunner 55 GPS Running Smart Watch - Black:
Steps are only counted when you arms move in the way they do when you walk naturally. You would need to place the watch into an activity for an elliptical for it to track correctly.

After contacting our suppliers they have advised for the Garmin Forerunner 55 GPS Running Smart Watch - Black.
Yes, the Garmin Forerunner 55 tracks calories during exercise workouts.
The Garmin Forerunner 55 features a plastic watch body, and the strap is typically made of silicone. Aluminium is not a primary material in its construction
The Forerunner 55 is designed to track various activities, including walking. It uses your heart rate data, step count, and other metrics to estimate calories burned during your walks.
Thank you for using Q&A.
Hello There,
The Garmin Forerunner 55 is water-resistant with a 5 ATM rating, which means it can withstand pressures equivalent to a depth of 50 meters.
This makes it suitable for:
Swimming (in pools, lakes, or the ocean)
Showering
Sweaty workouts
However, it's not recommended for diving or snorkelling, as those activities involve deeper or more prolonged submersion than the watch is rated for.
Thank you for using Q&A
