I am satisfied with the purchase. The only minus is that I think Suunto's app is better than Garmin's, my previous watch was Suunto. This current Garmin watch does have versatile features, and the watch can be modified using the Garmin app by changing, for example, the dial or training view screens.

A good watch for an excellent price. Has almost all the features of the top tier Fenix watches but in a lightweight/plastic case; full maps, all the sensors and multi band GPS for the price (even without the 15% sale discount that I got) is astonishing. Very satisfied however some of the apps etc feel a little bit 'beta' and I've found a couple of bugs when using the maps such that certain features don't work, including ones which I know do work on Fenix watches. Parts of the menu system and advanced features are also a little less intuitive to use than the equivalent Fenix. Updates continue to be rolled out though (two more in less than two weeks of ownership) so I'm hopeful these bugs and oddities will continue to be addressed and ironed out. Notwithstanding these issues, it's a bargain and for the most part works perfectly well, just be aware there are (still) a few compromises compared to the Fenix line - mostly unintentional I think! Excellent service from Varuste.

A very versatile sports watch. I only used it for running and in the gym. Wide range of species and features. To track all kinds of data, even if the actual sports performance to be recorded was not on (useful exercise, e.g. commuting, walking with the dog), the watch recognizes these. At first, the battery in the watch was draining quickly, although not nearly all message notifications were in use. Now that no messages can reach the watch from the phone, the battery life is also long.
The watch looks good and is not too big for a woman's small wrist.
Satisfied with the purchase.

Based on the three-week user experience, I have been very satisfied. As a user of a cycling computer from the same manufacturer, Garmin was a natural choice, but I thought for a long time between the FR, Fenix and EPIX series. I believe that this gives me the best price-quality ratio in my own use. The sensors are top class, accurate and reliable. Garmin's user interfaces require a bit of getting used to, but they have improved over time.

Great price and fast delivery for the Garmin Forerunner 955 watch. Thanks.

I updated the Garmin meter to the latest Forerunner. Use familiar, easy Garmin.
Plenty of data to track training and recovery. The data on recovery and sleep also correspond to your own feelings.
I've used a heart rate belt when running, but at least in the calmest sports, the wrist heart rate measurement works well.
The watch also fits well on a narrow woman's wrist.

Based on less than a month of use, a great game! A clear screen that is visible even in the sun, light on the wrist and so many features that you will definitely not run out. Practically equivalent to several hundred more expensive Fenix series, but with a plastic shell and thus lighter weight. One star off the still buggy software, which is why e.g. all map-related functions don't work properly. Hopefully they will be resolved over time with updates. The battery lasted for ten days with quite active use, so it is exactly in line with Garmin's promises.

The best on the market in terms of features, which clearly match the more expensive Fenix series. Of course, the feel is more plastic than in Fenixes, but the price is also hundreds of euros cheaper. There are still regrettable bugs in the software, which shouldn't be in a watch over 500 euros: you can't change the sport-specific heart rate limits and the backlight turns on randomly when you press buttons, even if it's set to off. On Google, you can find these same problems reported by other users, so it's not just a problem with my own watch.

Based on a couple of weeks of use, an excellent crank. Heart rate and GPS both very accurate, the battery easily lasts a week even if I do a couple of exercises with the GPS every day. Time will tell how the plastic shell withstands wear and tear versus the Fenix 7's metal body. Garmin is a new brand for me, so you have to think about the user interface for a while, but you can find what you need by searching.
