I gave my old Apple watch to my friend, and was in a market for a new fitness/smart watch. A lot of people recommended Garmin, and in the end I purchased a Garmin Forerunner 55 from REI, and I am highly satisfied.

  I fully charged it yesterday, used it for a workout, and overnight the battery dropped from 90% to 40%. It has dropped from 40% to 30% in the last 4 hours.

something.  The first few times I charged this watch the battery life was incredible--a couple weeks. I changed no settings since then, but the charges have gone from lasting 2 weeks to lasting about 30 hours. I have since deactivated several features that Garmin says should "maximize" battery life with no improvement

EDIT/UPDATE: Since writing the original review, the watch has undergone several software updates and the battery life has dramatically improved to what was promised. Also, it's mostly stopped the sudden, steep drops in battery life (no more going to bed with it at 80% and waking up to 40%). I believe the software updates must have helped? It is now on software version software v4.11--when I bought it, it was v1

UPDATE: battery life improved! Bitterly disappointed in battery life

pressing buttons) he's awake, not asleep as my Forerunner 55 thinks. I wake up and check my watch for time several times during the night and my watch doesn't know I'm awake - insane oversight. 2. If you are counting the user's steps it is safe to assume he's awake, I don't think moonwalkers would sue you over this

 It's a replacement for my Forerunner 310XT. The watch overall has been good. I have to power cycle it occasionally because it has stopped tracking my heart rate or stress level. I don't like the proprietary charging system

 I do like how it syncs with the Garmin Connect App though. It's much thinner and lighter than my previous watch. I like that it tracks all the things that my Samsung Gear Sport (minus floors) tracks and has the accuracy of the Forerunner line for my running. It tracks more statistics than the combination of my previous watches

 I like that it tracks all the things that my Samsung Gear Sport (minus floors) tracks and has the accuracy of the Forerunner line for my running. It tracks more statistics than the combination of my previous watches. Like my running cadence and my BPM during sleep. Overall it's a solid product for the low price

Good Value

I bought a Garmin forerunner 55 to try and it is much better for running stats and gps accuracy.

Has any of you noticed that your cadence isn’t accurate on apple watch? This morning I went for a run, my cadence was 180, I was listening to music 180 bpm then when I finished…my apple watch recorded cadence in the 120s..

Using apple watch to record runs

 - when you go to start a run, it tries to suggest your workout which is nice but not necessary. It’ll also tell you it’s locating satellites, when in fact it’s already good to go. Just press start and it’ll start tracking.  I can’t comment on sleep/HR, as I don’t track those; though HR seems on par with every other wrist based monitor I’ve had

Overall a great running/biking/activity tracking watch for those who don’t want/need smart watch features. There’s a lot of running data to geek out on, packed into a small, lightweight package

  Overall a great running/biking/activity tracking watch for those who don’t want/need smart watch features. There’s a lot of running data to geek out on, packed into a small, lightweight package. I’ll probably rarely/never use it all, but it’s fun if you want to mess with the extensive Garmin Connect app. Would highly recommend - does everything I want as a competitive ultra runner

Sleek, Lightweight & Simple.

I found a very good one, check out [WatchBandsSDV on Etsy](https://www.etsy.com/listing/1035479139/band-for-garmin-vivoactive-forerunner?ref=shop_home_feat_3&pro=1&frs=1), he has bands for Garmin watches, and has directly for the Forerunner 55 too. Based on reviews and feedbacks, the band is amazing

I looked for a leather band for my F6 but ended up going with what Garmin offers.  The reviews for 3rd party bands were not good.  I'm happy with the band.

I've recently purchased my first Garmin, the FR55, which does me for my needs adequately and I'm really enjoying it as a motivational tool.

I've never really been watch person, and I really don't like how this watch looks when wearing day to day (rather than when doing activities).

I am wondering, are the straps interchangeable? And by that, I mean, do they have to be Garmin specific, or can you just search for quick release watch straps?

Looking for something to make this watch look less sporty day to day, maybe leather, perhaps even something with skulls or studs on.

Thanks!

Non-Garmin straps?

 I think the size is just about right.  I've only used it for running and biking so far, and it seems accurate. I have not used the suggested workouts feature. I like that the notifications use a short vibration and a light background

I got this watch as an upgrade from an original Vivoactive that was losing battery life. As such, battery life was a big selling point for me and this watch delivers. First 2 weeks I did two 5 mile runs and it still was at 30% by the end of those 2 weeks. I also like that it's round, and I didn't think I would

Solid, quality watch

So I'm a runner. I run almost 30k a week and am training and increasing mileage slowly. I was looking to invest in my running and thought that a garmin would be useful. But being a student and on a budget I have to be sure before purchasing one. I'm serious about running and want to run marathons and I need a tool which is sturdy and reliable. I have hear garmin owners complain which makes me question its reliability. If not garmin what else could be useful for me at my current running level (30-45k/week mileage). Would like to hear the thoughts of you all.
