Awesome watch!...hands down!
Out of the box was able to see the manufacturing quality right away. Long life battery, awesome display and incredibly light on weight Watch combines great looks with pretty much all the features needed for an active lifestyle across all activities ( running, traik, hiking, walking, crosstraining, HIIT, etc). Highly recommend it, either if your a seasoned Garmin user or first time buyer...you won't regret it.

Forerunner 955 solar
I’ve had it for 2 months. The map feature is nice. Not quite as bright as I expected but sufficient. The watch charges really good when you’re biking. Not as good while hiking/walking but still does- the angle to the Sun I’m guessing? I had trouble when we went to Europe and entered different time zones. I tried syncing with WiFi but couldn’t get it to automatically adjust even though it is set up that way in my settings and wouldn’t align like my iPhone automatically did. Had to manually change the times. I don’t use the running features but there are quite a few for training. Overall I really like the look and features of the watch and am happy with my purchase.

Battery life!!!
I’ve had this watch for a few weeks Abe absolutely love it! I upgraded from the Vivoactive 4s. There are many more features and the battery life is perfect for ultras! Definitely a great purchase!

Silly
I think it’s kind of silly how much people use these smart watches, and get inaccurate data that they actually try using. I basically got the watch to have music without carrying my phone. It does do that. However the day I received it, Garmin was down. Like the site, apps, everything. So my initial experience was pretty bad, when nothing works, the actual minute you get the watch. And seriously, you guys have so many forms of data that aren’t even accurate. Why even waste time on that? You cannot give me an accurate VO2Max. It also has no idea what a real workout is, which makes me wonder who is even making these watches. But it does actually do the things I wanted. GPS and music. But the rest is just shiny objects that make people believe things about their fitness levels that aren’t true.

Nothing works
I just received my watch and in the process of setting it up, I guess all of Garmin crashed. Or at least all the apps stopped working mid set up and now my watch only tells time, ironically.

Superb upgrade
I upgraded from an Instinct Solar to this model and I love it. Battery life is great. GPS detection is pretty fast. The UI is similar. Overall a great watch. Highly recommend!

The BEST watch!!
I had a Vivoactive for over 10 years and I spent months looking into its replacement. I wanted a watch that could support my active lifestyle, was stylist but super functional and long lasting. The 955 Solar (Forerunner) is the best watch I could have have ever asked for. I swim 2-3 miles/week, run 10-15 miles/week, and bike between 15-30 miles/week and this watch definitely keeps up. The only thing I wish it tracked better was my swim distance during my kick sets (has stroke detection so when not using your arms it doesn’t track) but the watch has built in music so you can listen to music without running or carrying your phone. Overall, very satisfied with this watch. Send me another for FR$$ :)

Meet your Challenges with Garmin
I bought the solar Forerunner 955 a month ago. Solar recharge is fantastic when exploring remote areas. I have just begun exploring all its functions, but the basics—wear and go—are simply awesome, enhancing my everyday living.

Definitely better than a step up from Frrnnr 945
Less dropped laps. Holding the charge longer (albeit some of that is the newer btty). The better position of lights on wrist make it much less likely for those lazers to abruptly interrupt my sleep... so now I can wear it overnight. Adjusting favorites (in/out) still a mystery... plan time to do it, and keep those steps for when you need them again... unless you enjoy the website webbing of instructions. Overall, Glad to have it with me.
