Title: FANTASTIC WATCH
Review: Where to begin… I bought this watch on some kind of super sale. I am not a watch guy, and always thought people with smart watches were just in the craze. Decided to take the leap since I already have a garmin bike computer, and I recently started running and swimming. I’ll try to keep it short. There Are a million how to videos that show this watches features so I’ll skip thatThis watch, is jammed pack with features. I don’t even use them all there is so many. I love the ease of use, great tracking for running and swimming. Easy to start, pause and stop workouts. The touch screen works deceptively well under water? Its weird I’ve never seen a touch screen work when wet.The screen is plenty bright with sunglasses on outside, and I’ve been getting almost 2 weeks of battery with 7ish hours of logged activity a week.I love the morning report (I sleep with it on)The best part, hands down, is it works with the dexcom g7. For all you diabetic folks. There is dexcom and freestyle apps and watch faces to get your blood sugars right on there in a slightly delayed display.Love this watch, if you’re in the fense like me, buy it. If you’re friends have lower versions, talk smack

Title: WOW – what can’t this do?
Review: I got this refurbished watch on Black Friday for my daughter at an AMAZING price! She is a triathlete and wanted this for Christmas. It tracks EVERYTHING. In the first few days, her watch was telling her she was not working out hard enough. Yesterday, it said she needed to rest more, It tracks her sleep, O2, pace, recovery everything. Plus the batter lasts forever (unlike my Samsung Galaxy watch). If I had not just purchased my Samsung this year, I’d also get this watch.OR should i say wrist CLOCK! It’s HUGE! More a wrist clock vs wrist watch. :) Highly recommend for athletes who track everything.

Title: Great running watch
Review: I started out with an Apple Watch, but found that I was asking the watch to do too much (play music, give directions and track GPS) and the battery wore down quickly. My must-have watch features were: music storage, turn-by-turn voice navigation, having maps on my watch for trail runs, and multi-band GPS for better tracking. This watch checks all those boxes (and then some). The only feature I wasn’t sure about was the MIP display, but I actually enjoy the more muted, non-distracting watch face. I’m currently running 30 miles per week while streaming music and using GPS for every run, so I do have to charge it every 5-6 days, but since it goes from 15% to 85% within an hour this isn’t any hardship. I ask this watch to do a lot every day and it’s up to the task.

Title: Amazing watch with stellar battery life
Review: I was tired of having to charge my watch every few days when I did my research on the 955 Solar. I should’ve bought this watch years ago. I’m active every single day, I average 6-7 mile walks 5x a week and I go hiking on the weekend. I don’t have to charge this watch until day 9 or day 10, depending on how much sun exposure the watch gets.If you’re a current Garmin user, I don’t need to sell you on the watch features, you already know what you’re getting.Fantastic watch with all the Garmin features you already know about with excellent battery life.

Title: The brightness of the screen is too dim to be seen outdoor
Review: I generally like this 955 watch. It tracks almost everything of my daily activities, including my meetings, phone calls, music, sleep, and exercise etc.Comfortable to wear – much easier than Apple Watch Ultra. Not only because it is lighter but also because its simplistic band design. Just easy to wear and taken off.But – I’m so not a fan of 955’s screen. Overall it is Ok indoor but as soon as it hits outdoor with bright sunlight, the screen is almost unreadable to me. Yes it is too dark. Dimmer screen is great for battery conservation, but I’d appreciate if is is more readable. This is important to me. So I decided to return it and add a few dollars for a AMOLED 965 series.

Title: 955 (not solar) versus prior Garmin (735)
Review: I had a Garmin Forerunner 735XT for more than seven years. Unsurprisingly, the 955 is a significant upgrade. Differences include:Battery. Much better than the 735. If I use GPS for a couple hours a day (run, hike, open water swim), I can still reliably get almost a week on a single charge. If I don’t use GPS, it will go a couple weeks. And the charge remaining feature is much better.Heart rate. The heart rate monitor works under water. I also think it is more accurate.Size. It is larger, but not so much that I notice.Buttons. They seem more robust. They work better.Charger. The old charger broke all the time. The new one is superior.Lap detection (swim). Hard to directly compare (since the 735 is bricked), but I think the lap detection is marginally better–although not perfect. I generally don’t trust single-lap data.Touch screen. I turned it off. I found the haptic feedback annoying if I crossed my arms, put my hands behind my back against clothes or skin, etc. The upshot is that I rarely notice that is it off and the buttons can do almost anything.

Review: Funciona excelente! Tal vez pensaba que la batería duraría más por ser solar. Gasté más por un producto que supuestamente rinde más por ser solar y resulta ser una pérdida de dinero. Aún así le pongo 5 estrellas porque cumple perfecto con su función y estoy contento con el precio. Muy buen producto

Review: There are some deep dives discussing the Garmin 955 Forerunner on the internet, so I will not reinvent the wheel. This is just an overview by an average non-competitive runner. I’m 69 and have been running for 50 years. While I get slower yearly, I run 3000K a year.I replaced my aging Fenix 5X with the Garmin 955. I debated staying with the Fenix line, but I am glad I moved to the Forerunner series of sports watches. My last Forerunner was a big orange 910 back in 2011, and believe me, the 955 isn’t your Grampa’s Forerunner!The Forerunner 955 is a light watch and fits on my thin wrist. The large screen is quite legible indoors and outdoors. I covered the screen with a screen protector (reviewed elsewhere on Amazon), and the screen is still easy to read in all situations.The 955 has excellent maps, and the touchscreen makes navigating very smooth. The on-the-fly routing leads the field. (See what I did there?) The 955 works with Komoot and provides turn-by-turn navigation. While I prefer Suunto’s mapping software to Garmin’s, the 955 is a close second for designing a course.One of my favourite features of the 955 is the daily morning report. Your watch analyzes sleep, recovery and training, mixes it up with weather and heart rate variability and gives you a suggested training plan for the day. If you are like me and subscribe to a coached running plan, you can load a week’s schedule into the watch.The Body Battery feature is Garmin’s answer to the Whoop, and I will be curious how the two stack up. I’ll update this review in a few months.The 955 has a built-in power meter, which reads higher than my Stryd unit. There is no standard for power so that each company will generate different numbers based on proprietary algorithms. What is essential is that the numbers are consistent, and the 955 and Stryd graphs parallel each other for the most part. The Stryd reacts slightly quicker to intervals than the Garmin.The 955 will also provide running dynamics. While I know some folks swear by these metrics, I’ve only been concerned with cadence.There are too many metrics to discuss in a short review, but I will mention my two favourites: ClimbPro and PacePro. Seeing a visual chart of a hill with the gradients is handy for long trail races, and PacePro, with grade-adjusted pacing, helps you pace a long race.While I don’t listen to music when I run, I did test the 955 with Amazon and Spotify. Both platforms loaded and played music easily. Remember that you will need these services’ premium (paid) versions to load music on your watch. (For some reason, I seem to need three paid streaming services.) I tried pairing several Bluetooth headphones, and all worked. I’m assuming playing music from your watch would be very detrimental to battery life.Garmin’s software is complex, and there is a learning curve to getting the most out of the data the watch collects. The Connect software is being redesigned for Spring 2024, and I hope the UI will be updated and more organized. That noted it is simple to track the metrics that are important to you and ignore the rest.I’m not a triathlete, but I understand that Garmin will significantly improve the Automatic transition mode for the triathlon feature on the next update to Connect. Also slated for an update is track mode, making it more in tune with Apple’s excellent track database. I’m a track rat and love that feature on my Apple Watch.Garmin is the big player in the room, so most third-party software is written to work with Garmin. I use Training Peaks, and the integration is seamless. I don’t use Strava, but my running buddies tell me the “Orange App” imports Garmin’s data.The 955 works with all Garmin hardware. I weigh myself on my Garmin scale each morning, and all the weight-based metrics are imported to Connect instantly. I’ve not had good luck with wrist-based heart rate in any watch, and I use the HRM Pro strap, which integrates fluidly with the 955.There is an App Store for Garmin, and you can buy widgets, watch faces and apps. I’ve never bothered, as the watch does all want, with one exception. I miss Suunto’s excellent Backyard Ultra widget. It is an immaculate and elegant way to track a 100-miler. I keep my Suunto P9P just for Backyard Ultras.The 955 will run for 40-plus hours on a charge, so I top it up midweek. The 955 uses a proprietary charging cable. I usually ding any company using a proprietary charging cable, but the Garmin cable is so ubiquitous that you can find one to borrow at any race you attend.In conclusion, I’m happy with the Garmin 955. My only quibble is I wish Garmin had included a quick-release watch strap with the 955 as they do with the Fenix line.

Review: El Garmin Forerunner 955 ha superado todas mis expectativas. Sus métricas proporcionan información increíblemente útil, y la calidad y el diseño del reloj son óptimos. La integración con Garmin Connect y Garmin Express es destacable, brindando un soporte sólido que eleva la experiencia general. Como usuario anterior de un reloj Huawei, al principio noté la diferencia en la pantalla, pero me adapté rápidamente y ahora me siento muy cómodo con mi nuevo Garmin. Este dispositivo ha marcado una transición suave y positiva en mi experiencia de seguimiento y rendimiento físico.
