Bulky
I had the Garmin forerunner 245 for 5 years and switched to this new Garmin six months ago. I can’t be happier with the performance, battery life and functionality of this sport smartwatch. I use it all the time which allows me to track my sleep and daily activities. It has almost all the sport tracking features. Very impressive so far.

So good I probably don't need it
This watch is too good for me. I am a competitive martial artist and I run frequently for training, so I figured having a dedicated smartwatch for running would be useful. And it is - the Forerunner 955 has provided me with such detailed tracking and metrics that I have become a much better runner! The thing is, I don't need 95% of the things that it tells me. What even is "vertical oscillation?" And why is mine so bad? I have no clue. In that sense, I probably should have gone for the Venu or maybe a cheaper Forerunner - I'm a pretty serious athlete, but unless you're a truly elite runner, this watch is probably too advanced for you. That being said, everything this watch does - wild running metrics included - it does fantastically well. The sleep tracking is so accurate I sometimes have trouble believing it, and the HR and pulse ox sensors are always reliable (with the occasional few seconds where my heart rate shoots up and the watch is slow to track it). The stress and body battery features are useful too, and usually align with how I feel. I love how detailed the fitness metrics are as well - knowing my VO2 max and lactate threshold has been so helpful for me in improving my running! The pace tracker and GPS are darn near flawless as well, and the personalized running plans are very useful. Don't even get me started on the training readiness - I have a habit of overtraining, so this feature has been great in helping me avoid excessive fatigue and pain. Overall, this is a must-buy for top-tier runners, and well worth the money for anyone who calls themselves an athlete. Keep in mind, however, that you really don't need most of the things it can do unless you are at a very high level of competition.

Big face
Returned it. Face was too big. Never able to load my music. Too many bells and whistles for my needs.

Love it
This watch is great. Using it to train for an ironman. Only issue i have is during swimming it won't count the laps you train with a kickboard. Also during strength training your reps may need to be adjusted but besides those small issue I love it.

Lightweight
I upgraded from a Forerunner 935. It was a hand-me-down from someone who had used it daily, for years. It was still working and going strong but I was looking for an upgrade. I love the MIP display over AMOLED and this fit the bill. I didn't have any local places to try on but I was afraid the screen was going to be too big for my preference. But, it turned out better than I expected. It's very light weight, screen is super clear and love the case even though it's a simple black. I used to run pretty regularly in 2023/early 2024 with my 935. I did drop off a lot but wanted to start back up. That being said, the Daily Suggested Workouts have been incredible. I normally just ran and didn't ever care about pace. But that made my milage and fitness really inconsistent. The 955 has been helping me feel more comfortable with my training, but also pushing me. I never did Tempo runs. Thanks to the suggestions I've done 3 now. I don't really have an interest in getting faster, (I'm a very slow runner) but I like the change being challenge and "easy" runs. The body battery, morning report, sleep stuff is all a huge step up from the 935. I think I will forever use Garmin watches in my training.

Too much
I purchased this watch because it had the longest GPS mode battery life. It replaced a five year old Forerunner 245. I don’t listen to recorded music while running, preferring the music of birds, the wind and my heart. This watch every day pops up with “Tip - hold down for music”. And every time I save a run it forces me to select an effort level and a how I feel icon. This is data I am not interested in and it should be easy to tell it not to ask but I have not yet figured out how. The watch is also too big for my skinny runner wrist. I do like the battery life, the touch screen and the spare watch band loop that came with it. Also I find it very cumbersome to create a new activity type versus the old 245.

The forerunner replaced my Apple Watch
As a lifelong apple user concerned about leaving the ecosystem, I sought a better alternative. Despite my daily workouts and cardio routine, I had issues with Apple Watch battery life and performance tracking. My fiancée’s Farming Forerunner 65 series impressed me, and I found the 955 cheaper with better data. I’ve been delighted with the watch’s lightness, long battery life, and accurate performance tracking.
