Can't recommend the forerunner 55 now. I've had it for 3 years and the battery deteriorated faster than I thought. It has also started to randomly shut down DURING the workout which mega sucks. Get something with a better battery life. Coros seems to be doing some good stuff. The higher end Garmins

Garmin Forerunner 55, $300, has barely left my wrist in 4 years. Improved my fitness and sleep. I've got 4 years of health and fitness data and never had to pay another cent after the initial cost. Still going strong.

Garmin all day long over anything else. Vívosmart is the most affordable. The current version is 5, but you can probably get an even more affordable previous model second hand on eBay or something. It would be better, IMO, to go up to the Forerunner 55 if you can swing it, but anything Garmin is goi

I am currently using a Garmin Tactix 8. However, there is basically no reason to be spending 1500 bucks on this watch if all you need is something to track your walks. The forerunner 55 is a great watch, super lightweight and very comfortable. It's actually the watch my work gives out to employees a

Refurbed Garmin Forerunner 55 from 'gpsgadgets' on eBay, got mine for £60 in Good condition and it was perfect, not a mark, battery seems to last for ages. They do have higher/better models too all at reasonable prices.

Za tyhle peníze bych koukal hlavně po Forerunner 55 nebo Venu Sq. Na běh i silovku úplně v pohodě GPS mají spánek a tepovky taky. Forerunner je víc sportovní Venu trochu víc "chytré hodinky“. Já osobně mám Garmin už roky a problém jsem neměl spíš záleží jestli chceš víc data ze sportu nebo univerzál

Have you looked at Garmin Forerunner 165? I am suggesting 165 because it is the cheapest of the more modern Garmin Forerunner models. If you are ok with an older model I believe Garmin Forerunner 55 is still solid, and Garmins last quite a long time. Of course more expensive ones have more features.

Many many years ago, my wife and I Kickstartered the Amazfit X.... We were looking for something that wasn't Fitbit.... Despite all the issues with the app back then, they were decent watches, until the band delaminated from the watch..... There was zero customer support, so we just tossed them in t

The forerunner 55 does the job. It’s basic when it comes to functionality. It’s been surprisingly robust given that I work in a hostile environment. Even the wrist band is very hardy! The battery lasts 12-14 days still after 1.5yrs. However, if it stops working, I would upgrade but would definitely

Não recomendo garmin, tenho um forerunner 55 usado em natação e corrida, entrou agua e não deu conserto, cerca de 2 anos de uso.
