Garmin Forerunner 55
Comprehensive training data right on your wrist.
The Garmin Forerunner 55 is a multisport GPS watch designed to track your distance, pace, speed and time intervals. It uses satellite positioning to provide accurate tracking and can acquire a GPS signal within seconds. Once the signal is available, the watch alerts you with a vibration and the message “GPS Ready”.
This feature-packed watch eliminates the need for a separate heart rate monitor chest strap for everyday heart rate tracking. Its wrist-based optical sensor measures your heart rate using blood flow and pulse data, processed by algorithms. This allows you to monitor your heart rate during exercise and while resting.
With Garmin Coach, you get a virtual personal coach that provides suggested daily workouts and expert guidance to help you improve. Training plans adapt to your goals and fitness level.
Garmin Coach uses your training history, current fitness level and recovery time to tailor your workouts.
One of the key features of the Forerunner 55 is PacePro technology. It provides pace guidance during training and helps you develop a pacing strategy to reach your goals. On hilly routes, it helps you adjust your pace by indicating when to speed up or slow down to stay on target.
The race time prediction feature is another useful addition. Simply select the distance you want to run, and the watch estimates the time you could achieve. The dedicated track running profile is ideal for runners who train on an athletics track. It provides more precise data for track sessions, including 400-metre intervals.
You can also set target cadence ranges using cadence alerts. The watch notifies you when your cadence falls outside your selected range. This is particularly useful for marathon preparation and long endurance runs.
Avoid overtraining with the watch’s recovery time feature, which estimates how long you should rest before your next demanding workout, helping you manage your training load.
The Forerunner 55 supports a wide range of sports profiles, including running, cycling, pool swimming and Pilates.
With smart notifications, you can receive emails and text messages directly on your watch when paired with your smartphone via the Garmin Connect app. You can also control music playback from your watch; compatible headphones or a headset are required to listen to music.
Finally, emergency assistance and incident detection can send alerts to your registered emergency contacts if you need help or an incident is detected, such as a cycling collision. These features require a compatible smartphone connection and appropriate settings. 2-year warranty.
