  • NegativeDisplay dark
  • Negativelittle smart
  • NegativeOperation fiddly

The Garmin is intended primarily for runners. Casual athletes should like it quite a bit thanks to the lightweight casing, non-slip silicone wristband and the many running modes. However, it is not enough for higher ambitions. Garmin should have installed a higher-contrast, brighter LC display...

  • PositiveAlways-on display very easy to read even in sunlight
  • PositiveOperation and equipment optimised for running
  • PositiveLong battery life
  • NegativeLimited number of sports profiles
  • NegativeNo routing function

The Garmin Forerunner 55 is a great sports watch for runners - but the range of functions hardly goes beyond this sport. The operation and accuracy are almost perfectly tuned and the battery life is also convincing.
