Overall ratingGood75/100
Good70/100
- Long battery life
- Sits firmly on the wrist
- Display dark
- little smart
- Operation fiddly
The Garmin is intended primarily for runners. Casual athletes should like it quite a bit thanks to the lightweight casing, non-slip silicone wristband and the many running modes. However, it is not enough for higher ambitions. Garmin should have installed a higher-contrast, brighter LC display...
Good75/100
- Always-on display very easy to read even in sunlight
- Operation and equipment optimised for running
- Long battery life
- Limited number of sports profiles
- No routing function
The Garmin Forerunner 55 is a great sports watch for runners - but the range of functions hardly goes beyond this sport. The operation and accuracy are almost perfectly tuned and the battery life is also convincing.
