This watch really has all you need. I was a Polar lover before my switch to Garmin and it's certainly an upgrade, even at what they're calling an 'entry level' running watch. Here's what I love about it:
1. 24/7 wrist based heart rate monitoring. Very accurate during inactive and active periods.
2. 1 week battery life with all systems on GO. I haven't stress tested it with multiple runs but so far I'm reasonably happy with the battery. It's connected to my phone so I'm receiving notifications often and my heart rate is constantly monitored.
3. Accurate GPS tracking, with 3 options depending on your situation and demands on accuracy.
4. Great sleep tracking. You get a lot of great insights that can be used to make adjustments, improve sleep and optimize recovery.
5. Body battery is an interesting feature that allows you to identify when you're fully charged and ready to go and when you're drained and need to rest.
6. VO2 max and race predictor are great features that allow you to see when you are with your fitness and at your current levels of fitness the expected race times you'd likely hit.
7. Fitness age is an eye opening feature that determines your age based on your fitness and body weight. Gave me a harsh reality check!
8. Lightweight and extremely comfortable to wear! You won't even remember it's on your wrist.
The watch has more features, but for me all the above is what I depend on and thoroughly enjoy! For it's price point I say it's absolute value for me. I'm very happy with my purchase.

It's ok, upgrading to something better
I've had this watch for 10 months, and I'm ready for a better watch. This watch isn't all bad though.If you're looking for a cheaper option for running watches this is a pretty good choice, as long as your milage is reasonable. Obviously of you're running more mileage you're charging your watch more often. If I don't use the watch for anything but "being a watch" and heart rate monitoring I could get a couple weeks between charges. The gps seems pretty accurate, I have routes that I usually run and the watch is pretty close in marking miles in about the same spot, I'd say within .05 of a mile, worse case.I'd say this watch is more geared towards cardio workouts, I use the "other" while I'm weight lifting and it's not quite the right option, but theres no other options for this watch. It also does not have the ability to do elevation. Any elevation in your run is gps based i think.The watch itself is very durable, I only have the tiniest chip in the top of the screen, I wear this watch all the time, except while showering. The screen has minimal scratching. I've bought the screen covers for this watch before, but no brand I've ever bought was the exact correct size and there was always a small edge pulled up that would get dirt under it and it would eventually fall off.I really like that the screen is NOT touch screen and only the buttons control it. I don't have to worry about accidentally bumping something during a work out.I'm not sure how accurate the HR is, I caveat that I wear my watch on the inside of my wrist and I have dark tattooing there that could cause some problems. But I've also worn it on the opposite side of my wrist and had similar readings. You also can't wear this watch tight against the skin, then it won't read a HR at all. I've seen this happen in work outs where there a missing HR chunks of time.The sleep monitoring is NOT reliable. Like at all. Basically all it knows it that your heart rate is lowering and it's night time. I can be sitting still reading before bed and it counts all that time as sleep. So where I might have actually slept midnight to 630, my watch started counting sleep at 10. So I says I've gotten more sleep. Therefore effecting your "body battery" rate.The charger is weird. It takes a special charger, which I've bought another one for my travel bag. And if the watch charging interface gets dirty it makes charging finicky.The phone finder is really useful and I do like the period tracker.

I have to say I’m not easily impressed but this product is very very good it’s not complicated and it’s very accurate. It tells me the pace, distance, and time spent while running (unlike other watches I’ve had) and I love it. It also sends your results straight to the “Garmin Connect App”, on your phone with detailed data on the different paces you ran for every mile, your steps, heart rate, calories burned, and your VO2 level. I can confidently say that if you’re looking for a running watch to buy the “Garmin Forerunner 55”, is where it’s at.
