A nice watch that helps me track steps and distance when I go on my 5ks. It does tend to tell me to relax when I wear it to football matches, but it is a good reminder to breath hahaIt is a comfortable fit, connects easily to my phone, and is good value for money.

Bought this to replace my very old vivoactive 4s which died unexpectedly. Didn't have a huge budget but really wanted to stick with Garmin so had a look into this model. It's brilliant! Does everything my old one did for half the price. Battery lasts about a week if I don't do any activity and just use a smartwatch. If I do a couple of runs it probably needs charging after 4/5 days. Size of the face is great and I personally love that it isn't touch screen, I have some notifications on but not many so it really just feels like a watch! I don't love the rubber strap, sometimes it irritates my wrist so I may look to replace that but all in all a fab purchase!

Bought a returned / secondhand Forerunner 55 for £112 from reseller FairTech. Would happily buy from the reseller, again.I'm not a runner, I only intended to use the watch as not much more than a smart pedometer, really. However, as the watch is so lightweight I've just kept it on, so now have access to all sorts of data - average resting HR, sleep analysis, VO2 Max etc. - on the Garmin Connect app.The onboard GPS also appears to be far more consistent than the Polar + Google Maps apps I've used to record my walks before, too.The watch itself has several watch faces onboard, more online, some free. The data + layout for each activity you want to use it for can be customised independently.The interface is very simple to use, if not necessarily intuitive at first, and you can do most of what you want to do within a few key presses.I haven't got any more Garmin kit, but can see if I had the BP monitor, scales etc. it would all appear to be seamlessly integrated into the app. I guess that's pretty much a given, these days, but here's confirmation, for what it's worth.

I couldn’t be happier with this product.It’s been a part of every day for the last three months.Having gotten back into training and physical fitness, this watch has been brilliant. It really keeps me motivated and gives me some good insights into watch I’m doing.Garmin app works brilliantly and syncs data quickly. It also connects to other fitness apps I’m using so I can collate and see my data together.The watch itself is compact and easy to use. You really can’t go too far wrong if you’re looking for something to track steps, sleep, heart rate, calories and your exercise whether that be running, treadmill, swimming etc. I charge this once a week and set recordings for events lately at a minimum for 5 days for week.For me this was a good priced smart watch for the functions.I would’ve liked a resistance/weight training recording option but I choose other for this. For my first smart watch this has been a winner.I will definitely go for a higher ranged garmin product in a few years but for now this is a very good starting point. It’s brilliant.The only thing which I would say, is I’m not sure how accurate the sleep recording is. On a couple of occasions I’ve noticed that I’m asleep according the watch data, when in fact I have been awake.Overall, if you’re looking for a starter fitness watch or buying your first, I’d recommend this to you.

Really good watch, with loads of different functions to help with goals. Connects really easily to my phone. Looks really good on my wrist, which is fairly small and is not heavy at all. I have ran several different races with this watch and the accuracy to the chip timings is spot on.

Great watch, does all I need for running, good battery life, good value

Love this watch. Simple to use and gives you great reports about your activities, heart rate, stress etc. The battery lasts so long too. 1 week in and it’s still going! Lovely smooth comfortable strap too
