As one of the best Garmin watches, the Forerunner 955 puts a lot to the table. This bad boy boasts a 1.3-inch screen with Gorilla Corning Glass protection against bumps and scratches. Like most GPS watches, it has a rugged design, plus you can even take it for a swim (not a scuba dive, though).
Feature-wise, just like most premium wearables from the Forerunner series, this puppy has a crazy big number of runner-centric apps. You can be sure that not even a single metric will remain hidden from the 2022-launched timepiece. For context, you get features like Hill Score, which measures your capabilities to run uphill, wrist-based running power and dynamics, and triathlon plus multisport profiles.
Additional features include but aren’t limited to Garmin Pay, daily suggested workouts (up to seven days), heart rate, and Pulse Ox measurements. Via Garmin Connect, you can access functionalities like hydration level tracking and women’s health insights. You can even store music and learn more about your sleep with a Forerunner 955.
Battery-wise, the non-Solar version yields about 15 days in smartwatch mode or 42 hours in GPS mode. The Solar model offers an additional five days of use in smartwatch mode (i.e., up to 20 days) and 49 hours in GPS mode.
