Garmin Forerunner 55 Features, Specifications

The Forerunner 55 is a lightweight, sleek-looking watch that offers all the features runners require, such as PacePro and cadence alerts that help them focus on the fundamentals of running. PacePro offers guidelines to help runners tailor their efforts to their selected course or distance.

Athletes can estimate their finish time by selecting a run distance on their wrist. When runners go outside their target cadence range, cadence alerts let them know, helping them to improve their form.

As well as comprehensive running modes and tailored training tips, the smartwatch features enhanced health monitoring to help users perform better on and off the track. Forerunner 55  has a number of built-in activity profiles, including track or virtual running, pool swimming, Pilates, and HIIT. 

In addition to displaying data like distance traveled, the Forerunner 55’s clear screen lets you customize it to show all the information you need at a glance. The built-in GPS allows users to start their run or walk and keep track of time, distance, speed, pace, and heart rate. A built-in recovery time will inform athletes of how long they should rest after a workout.

Using the Forerunner 55 as a smartwatch, you can get a battery life of 2 weeks and 20 hours when using it in GPS mode.

Athletes can track their stress and set relaxation reminders to do short breathing exercises, use the Body Battery energy monitor to track energy levels to find the best times for activity and rest, and gain insights into when and how intensity minutes are earned throughout the day. Using the Garmin Connect app, women can track their menstrual cycle or pregnancy, log symptoms, receive nutrition and exercise education, and more. 

Connectivity features on the Forerunner 55 help athletes stay connected. On the wrist, users can receive and view text messages, emails, and social media updates. The assistance feature and incident detection can send alerts automatically to emergency contacts with the user’s location. In addition, the Forerunner 55 will automatically upload information to Garmin Connect, and athletes can download custom watch faces and apps from the Connect IQ Store.
