See the real thing: official video from Garmin.
The Garmin Forerunner 55 is an easy-to-use GPS running watch that tracks how far and how fast you go, and monitors heart rate at the wrist. Garmin rates the battery for up to two weeks in smartwatch mode.
It suggests daily workouts based on your training history and recovery, offers race time predictions, and includes PacePro for GPS-based pace guidance on race day. Built-in activity profiles cover running, cycling, track and virtual runs, pool swims, Pilates, HIIT and more.
It is an older model in Garmin’s lineup, so it skips extras like music storage and contactless payments. For runners who want solid tracking and coaching on a budget, that trade-off is easy to live with.
