I bought it to replace my Garmin Vivoactive 3 after it started having reliability issues. I'm really impressed - has all the functions I need for running and working with the Garmin coach plans. It's lightweight and not too big for my scrawny wrists - I didn't like the plastic strap but it was easy to replace with a cheap fabric strap (there are loads available on desertcart). The photo shows it during a Garmin coach "easy run" where I was trying to keep to around 7.30 per Km pace. You can see that it tells me the time left on that leg of the run, the distance run (at the bottom) and (at the top) how well I'm sticking to my target pace (the green zone). It gives me a warning when I get too far from my target pace. Good for people like me who tend to run too fast on the easy runs and also really useful for goal pace repeats and time trials. I'm mostly interesting in running and don't use any of the phone notification smart features so won't comment on those (I turned them all off) but it's ideal for what I need. I'd highly recommend for budget-conscious runners and it would be especially good for people new to running who want to use the Garmin app's built in training plans (up to half marathon) but don't want to spend a fortune on a higher end watch. The Garmin Connect app is user friendly and I had no problems setting up the new watch over Bluetooth. Fantastic watch for the price. Review: Budget-friendly GPS running watch - I've had the Garmin Forerunner 55 for a little over 2 months at the time of writing this review. I purchased to replace a higher end smart device from a few years back (Huawei GT 2 PRO) which had compatibility issues with IOS and poor GPS tracking. I wanted something lightweight, comfortable and easy to use while running. Whether you're running on the road or hitting the trails, the watch provides reliable and precise tracking of your distance, pace, and route. This is essential for tracking your progress and analysing your runs. It includes a heart rate monitor, allowing you to keep an eye on your heart rate during your workouts. impressive battery stating up to two weeks in smartwatch mode and up to 20 hours in GPS mode - I've not scientifically tested but I've been getting a good week and a half or so with regular 6-10k runs in. Sleep tracking also feels accurate when reviewing the data in the app vs how I feel that day. Its nice to be able to keep a track of hours slept/recovery. The Garmin connect app is also the best I've used with lots of insightful data from step tracking, heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking, body battery & setting running plans. You can also sign up to challenges and earn badges which adds a nice competitiveness if you have friends/family on the same platform. My personal favourite feature is having a physical start stop button - its a simple one but being able to hit start/stop when getting to a road junction and it working every time vs my old touch screen watch is really nice. Also helps with accuracy of running times. Overall, the Garmin Forerunner 55 is an excellent GPS running watch for those who are looking for a reliable and affordable device to track their runs. With its accurate GPS tracking, heart rate monitoring, customizable display, and extensive training features, it provides all the essential tools to help you reach your running goals. While it may lack some advanced smartwatch features, its impressive battery life and user-friendly interface make it a solid choice for runners of all levels. ## Features - Easy to use: Convenient and simple use - Good product with good quality - Value for money ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0953XKD13 | | Age range | Adult | | Batteries | 1 Lithium Polymer batteries required.

Very reasonably priced for the type of device. I really like Garmin and the Garmin app from previously owning a vivoactive 3 which gave up after a good few years of use. The forerunner 55 suits my needs better than the vivoactive in that it is button operated rather than touch screen. I often lost activities with the vivoactive dueSee to a coat or running jacket operating the screen. The forerunner 55 is a much more definite function operation which I really like. I've used the watch for hiking and running so far and it's been brilliant regarding information, GPS tracking, linking to Strava, etc. The battery life between charges seems very good so far. I also really like the fact you need to push a button to illuminated the watch rather than it light up on movement as the vivoactive did. The watch still lights up when lifting to view during an activity which is perfect for me. I have also started using Garmin coach for a running aim and this is a brilliant motivator as well as stopping me overtraining which I have done in the past. Thoroughly recommend Garmin and this device for ease of use, practicality, toughness, training options and how it looks. ## Frequently Bought Together - Garmin Forerunner 55 Blanco/42mm Smartwatch Running/GPS/Monitor De Heart Rate - Garmin Forerunner 55, GPS Running Watch with Daily Suggested Workouts, Up to 2 weeks of Battery Life, Black - 010-02562-00 - Suoman 4-Pack for Garmin Forerunner 55/45 / 45S Screen Protector Tempered Glass for Garmin Forerunner 55 / 45S / 45 [2.5D 9H hardness] [Anti-Scratch] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/330995245-garmin-forerunner-55-easy-to-use-lightweight-gps-running-smartwatch](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/330995245-garmin-forerunner-55-easy-to-use-lightweight-gps-running-smartwatch) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-11-01*
