Garmin Forerunner 55 42mm Sports Watch, Grey

The Garmin Forerunner 55 is a GPS smartwatch designed for runners requiring essential performance data. It uses GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo satellite systems for accurate tracking of distance, pace, and routes. Housed in a 42mm polymer case, the watch weighs 37 grams, making it suitable for continuous wear. The 1.04-inch memory-in-pixel (MIP) display is readable in direct sunlight and protected by chemically strengthened glass.

The device provides key training metrics including VO2 Max, a recovery time advisor, and daily suggested workouts. Health monitoring is managed through continuous, wrist-based heart rate tracking, stress monitoring, and sleep quality analysis. Beyond running, it includes dedicated profiles for pool swimming, cycling, and HIIT, all navigated using physical buttons instead of a touchscreen.

Battery performance is rated for up to 14 days in smartwatch mode or 20 hours with continuous GPS use. It connects to compatible iOS and Android devices via Bluetooth for smart notifications and remote music control. All data syncs to the Garmin Connect application for detailed review and access to the Connect IQ platform.
