Been using this watch as a multi-sport athlete for a couple months now. I upgraded from the Garmin Instinct, which was a good watch too and did the basics for everything.I decided to upgrade to this 955 solar to assist in diving a lot deeper into training and metrics and it provides that tenfold. I also purchased the HR-Pro heart rate monitor, also a great compliment tool for training.One complaint I have is the lack of upload from a pool session which perplexed me. I notice the 955 drops BT connection during swim sessions, which makes some sense, but then doesnt connect back when the session is over it appears. So, when the pool session is “complete” the upload seems to be stuck in limbo and is never uploaded. A work around for this is to connect the USB cable ... MoreBeen using this watch as a multi-sport athlete for a couple months now.

A work around for this is to connect the USB cable to your PC and then pull the file over from the watch folder to Garmin Connect and then the session is uploaded. So, its clear there is a bug there for pool sessions and this series of watch. What I do now, before I finalize a pool session is go to bluetooth and manually reconnect the watch and then “save” the session, so far, zero problems doing this method.But onwards about the watch features are great, of course the “training readiness” is a little dramatic in my opinion. I was knee deep in training when I bought the watch and ever since its told me I am supposed to rest for 2-3-4 days to be “effective”…..yeah, nah, I can’t do that. But I suppose it’ll work itself out over the next few month to a year to learn “me” and how “ready” I can be.Touch screen is really legit, works as it should and I like it from a quick switch through screens while active in a training session.Not entirely sold on the solar function. Seems like it helps keep some battery life I suppose a little longer than others. But my instinct didnt require as much charging as this watch has already had. But, this watch is pulling a lot more metrics behind the scenes, so it’s draining the battery it seems.Quick insert is the weight is basically nothing and the watch face is a great size. (I read a few concerns about the size and weight and thought I’d end up with a heavy watch. Its not heavy in the slightest to me.)All in all I’m still brand new with the watch and haven't even scratched the surface of all the potential features, but I am happy with the purchase but think I could have saved a little bit of money by just getting the 955 non-solar.

I bought the 955 Solar and used it for a few weeks. I had a 935 previously. I liked some of the new capabilities compared to 935 but didn't find any of them essential. The big issue was battery life. I was getting 5-6 days from 100% to 5% battery. This was much lower than my 935 which consistently got 10-11 days. For context, I was not using GPS and the only activity I was recording was 30 minutes of stationary bike (peleton) every other day due to weather outside. If i had used it for a bike ride or swim with GPS I expect I would have gotten more like 4 days of battery life. Not sure why it was so poor, I used the stock setting that the watch came form.

My experience was that battery life is not as advertised in real everyday use and The 735 was a MUCH better watch from build quality to battery life. I would not recommend 935.

Just got the Forerunner 955 solar and HRM pro to help with my training for a couple of ultra’s next year.

I shouldn’t have worried the screen is actually really clear even with backlight at 20% and still perfectly usable without while out running. Battery life again having come from the Iwatch has blown my mind. Build quality is every bit what you would expect from a Garmin product that is to say excellent!I’m still learning the system so can’t go into the data fields but again it does way more than I need.Overall I can’t recommend this watch enough.

Great watch that has had a wonderful impact on my training. If you're looking into getting a Garmin make sure to do your research as there are a wide variety of models and many watches are a bit overkill depending on what you need.What I love- Fast charging, long battery life- Connectivity to Spotify is seamless- All functions identified in the manual work as expected - no major bugs- Highly customizable, more via Garmin Connect- Lightweight and relatively durable. haven't seen any major scratches or dings yet. (knock on wood)- Tactile feedback and smart settings during runs- Accurate GPS and useful map feature during hikes/backcountryWhat I could leave- Watch band - generally fine but pulls hairs when strapping it down for good contact during ... MoreGreat watch that has had a wonderful impact on my training.

"Upgraded" to a $5 woven nylon band on amazon and it's a great match.- Solar - I like having the option to charge in the sun for longer, multi-day backpacking trips but I don't think it actually makes a significant difference in the day to day normal scenario use.- Not great for notifications/texts - very limited functionality but that's what I knowingly gave up when I moved from an apple watch to a more specialized watch for sports/activities.
I loved this watch, the feel is great, its light enough that I forget I'm wearing it, and the strap is probably the best I've tried on any GPS watch.The screen is lacking though. Coming from a Venu 2, I missed the nicer screen and the way notification pop up. On the 955, there would be a screen that shows u the app logo, and then the actual message which was very annoying. Felt more like a pager than an actual notification.I ended up returning it and getting the Epix 2, but miss the feel of the forerunner a lot. The Epix feels significantly heavier, strap is not comfortable at all. But the screen is similar to the Venu, and basically does everything the 955 does, but with better resolution and more screen real-estate to take advantage of (more map area shown, ... MoreI loved this watch, the feel is great, its light enough that I forget I'm wearing it, and the strap is probably the best I've tried on any GPS watch.The screen is lacking though.

I love the light plastic body, but the screen resolution is not good enough for what I'm used to having on a GPS watch at this point.
I have been using another brand of fitness tracker (monthly subscription based) for years and had been looking to ditch the cost, but was worried I would miss the metrics. This Garmin product does EVERYTHING and MORE that the other tracker that I was using did WITHOUT the reoccurring cost AND with a much more user friendly interface. Also, I was able to ditch my smartwatch, so no more two devices. It's so nice to be able to streamline your life...fitness tracking, seamless integration with my cell phone, a million apps, recovery and training insights - what DOESN'T this watch do? LOVE IT. My husband purchased one at the same time and we love challenging each other each week...it's great motivation to stay active!

I bought this item 3 weeks ago. It has the potential to be a nice watch but so far I’ve experience 3 disappointing features:1. Battery life - this is clearly an issue the many struggle with as Garmin has specific advice on the support site for this. However even following the recommendations this product is disappointing. The battery life estimator is inaccurate (says 5 days left when the watch has hours left). They could do a lot better with providing the user feedback on how settings impact battery life and how solar is extending it. My guess is solar does very little and I grossly overpaid for that feature.2. Weather updates just don’t work. It would be great to have this on the watch but I’ve only seen it update twice since I’ve owned it with no feedback as ... MoreI bought this item 3 weeks ago.

It would be great to have this on the watch but I’ve only seen it update twice since I’ve owned it with no feedback as to why it fails to update.3. Sleep features and all other features that require wearing a bulky watch when you sleep. I’d be interested to know what percentage of users actually wear their watches to bed. It seems like a great product extension for Garmin to have a sleep monitor that doesn’t have to be worn or is more comfortable for sleeping than a watch. Unfortunately wearing a watch negatively impacts the quality of my sleep so I don’t get the benefit of any of these features….and these are features that I really would like to be able to use. Not to mention that with the poor battery life performance I have to charge the watch at night.
Bought December 22 and used a few times before taking a break feom regular workouts. Used for skiing, hunting, regular calisthenics, weights, and triathlon training. Skiing worked great, it kept track of all the runs, speeds, etc. I didn't know how to find the actual resort with names of runs and such even though it was preloaded, but it detected all the vitals and determined when I was going up the lift and where I was. GPS seems very good. The hunting was more "yes/no" text response, step tracking and such. would like to have used the actual tracking/way points etc. but didn’t have time to figure it out. Did use the map/ compass/ altimeter a bit (mostly because it's cool). would be awesome to be able to overlay gis maps when hunting, maybe you can? it somehow ... MoreBought December 22 and used a few times before taking a break feom regular workouts.

Did use the map/ compass/ altimeter a bit (mostly because it's cool). would be awesome to be able to overlay gis maps when hunting, maybe you can? it somehow knows how many push-ups I do and is really accurate on lifting reps. treadmill calibration was surprisingly accurate first time but I messed it up somehow (believe i waited too long to push stop and it included some slow down.) I need to redo, I hope I can. Swimming is very good, I like the ability to have countdown start. whether a smooth mile or intervals it works great. had to put exercise bike distance in manually, no big deal. haven't run outside or biked outside yet. I enjoy the morning report, body battery, weather, sleep tracking, etc. have used the on board music and it is very nice to have just ear buds and watch, and not have to worry about a phone and accidental screen touching (since I don't use any music apps, haven't figured out how to lock screen and keep playing on phone) The fit/comfort are great and battery seems unrealistic in how long it lasts and how quick it charges. I only worry about scratches and stuff (possibly put a liquid protector on but haven't decided yet. ) touch response is great, like having buttons also. I will learn more about the training and readiness stuff just haven't had time to check out and get a decent baseline or put specific goals in although I'd like to do a half-Ironman this year or next. I don't have it exposed to the sun much but it does work good holding charge when in the sun. interface with phone is great (android), love the app, easy to use. haven't joined up with strava or others yet. much more could be said and learned by me, so far so good though! great job garmin.
I loved the FR935. It was lower profile, fit well under a dress shirt cuff, did all the activities that I wanted, and was durable (although the bands would typically fail every five months or so). The Garmin ecosystem is something that I enjoy.The FR955 Solar is almost everything that the 935 was but with solar, which I really wanted. I had considered the Enduro because I wanted the solar capability but that watch is too large to wear in a work environment (dress shirt) for me and would have been an activity-specific tool, and who wants to shell out that kind of money for a watch you only wear when you go out to train? So when the 955 came out, I ordered one.I was skeptical that I would like the touchscreen on a workout watch and that there would be too many ... MoreI loved the FR935.

So when the 955 came out, I ordered one.I was skeptical that I would like the touchscreen on a workout watch and that there would be too many features I did not want. The touchscreen feature can be turned off altogether or just during an activity. All the functions, like music and Garmin pay, can be controlled via the watch and turned off if preferred. There are several very in-depth videos out there on the tube that can walk you through these and answer most every question you might have. Now I only deal with the features I want and have the others turned off and out of the way. It would be nice if you could delete those from the watch to free up memory space for maps.If I had a complaint, it is that it is a bit thicker than the 935 on the wrist. It does not fit under the cuff as well as the 935. I get it; those solar parts must go somewhere, but it is my review, and I get to be picky if I like.I wanted a watch that I would wear all the time, working, training, sports, and outdoors. The 935 did that spectacularly. The 955 is the natural progression of that watch to add solar. If this is what you are looking for, then this is the watch for you. It is almost the Fenix lite.
Got this a month ago. Had to upgrade from a dying 935. The watch is a lot more accurate in the data it collects from sleep data, stress loads, intensity, and steps. Compared to my 935 it also has a ton more features that all work together and help compliment each other. The amount of activity types it has is very impressive and most of them have all of their own metrics they track. It recommends breathing excercises for when you are at a high stress level and the morning report and each metric the watch measures gives recommendations on workouts, recovery, rest, and sleep to help fulfill a total healthy lifestyle. Not just fitness for sport watch. The solar helps the battery last about two weeks for me only because I work inside. When I am outside on the weekends ... MoreGot this a month ago.

Not just fitness for sport watch. The solar helps the battery last about two weeks for me only because I work inside. When I am outside on the weekends the battery only drops about 1 or 2% per day with doing activities. The band is better and has grooves that help the buckle grip the band, not just the clasp. So far I am very impressed. Lastly, you almost don’t need as many sensors as before because the heart rate is very accurate now. I have used the running dynamics pod and my bike sensors and it finds them and sets them up a lot easier than on my 935.
