Garmin Forerunner 55
4.3
The Forerunner 55 is the smart entry into serious running: accurate GPS, genuinely useful suggested workouts, and a battery measured in weeks, not hours. The screen is modest and music lovers need their phone - trades that keep the price honest. For most runners, it's all the watch they'll need for years.
Why we rate it
- Reliable GPS pace and distance - the numbers you train by are trustworthy
- Daily suggested workouts adapt to your recent training - like a starter coach
- Up to two weeks of battery in watch mode; charging is a weekly-ish event
Keep in mind
- No onboard music storage - phone comes along for playlists
