Customer Review –
The Garmin 955 is the Swiss Army knife of running watches.
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.

Excellent watch for runners
I previously used a Garmin Fenix 6s pro for running and training for marathons but this is so much better. My wrist measures 150mm so it’s on the small side but the 955, even though it’s actually bigger, is much more comfortable to wear all day and while sleeping. It’s lighter and has a different look than the Fenix but it looks really good in person. Battery life is excellent. I’m on track to get 15 days battery life with regular use. The running metrics and adaptive training that are available right on the watch are leaps and bounds better than the coaching programs available in garmin connect. I’m very pleased with this upgrade. The white looks really good and I have no regrets moving from the Fenix line to this forerunner. It’s exceeding my expectations in every way.

My First Garmin
This is my first Garmin watch and I decided to go all in (I know it’s not a Enduro or Epyx…) with the 955. I can’t find much to complain about this watch honestly. The features are MANY and everything works as advertised. I compare it to having both a nurse and personal fitness coach on your wrist. The app that goes along with it on your phone (or website) is very nice and gives you a great overall status of your day and pas week.If you want a great fitness companion device, this is hard to beat!

Je l’ai depuis quelques mois
Je l’adore!! Je la porte jour et nuit et la charge une fois aux 10 jours selon combien de km je cours dans la semaine. J’aime l’écran, les statistiques, la fiabilité, le look, bref tout tout tout. Il m’est seulement arrivée une fois de partir la monte et de partir courir pour finalement me rendre compte 10 min plus tard qu’elle ne fonctionnait pas. J’ai dû la redémarrer, mais ça été mon seul bug depuis plusieurs mois d’utilisation.

Wife loves it
Bought it for my wife to replace her vivo active. She loves it.

Great battery
I bought this to replace my vovoactive 3 since the battery on that was not great and dying. I can run 60k with music and use this in smartwatch mode before changing it so lasts about a week which is awesome.

good for tech/data nerds
very good battery life. looks good. lots of features that i dont use but decided to get it because i got it on sale. keep most of the settings simple and not connected to phone so will get ~2 weeks of use before needing to charge. wear it usually all day + night and ~1hour of training 4-5 days a week. if you only need to use a couple basic features, i would get a cheaper / more basic alternative.

Great watch, poor reliability
Purchased new, 35 days after purchase, stared freezing and powering off for no reason. Can’t send it back to seller as it is past 30 days – going to garmin…not sure if I did in fact get a new one or refurbished junk. UPDATE: Garmin warranty sent a replacement watch. Completed transaction through their chat window on the support site. Thanks Garmin!

Battery life on this watch is next level and the ultimate selling point to get me to finally invest in a wearable. Now I wear it nonstop to track my sleeping data, HRV, heart rate, stress levels, steps, and sync with Strava for all endurance activities (mainly run and cycle). The customizable watch face is very cool and I love being able to glance at my watch and see the weather outside, what time the sunsets or rises, or see if a text message was important. It’s comfortable enough that I forget I’m wearing it at times. The Spotify sync is great and allows me to run without a phone but still listen to music. The touchscreen is responsive and easy to read in the daylight or darkness. I also recommend buying a pack of watch face protectors. This watch has actually saved me money because now I’m deterred from buying a Rolex or some other luxury watch.

Relógio fantástico, desde a durabilidade da bateria, todas aferições desde medidas de distância, pace, desempenho nas atividades!!!
Alejandra C. –
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
