Product Information
The Garmin Forerunner 55 GPS Running Smartwatch is an easy-to-use running watch for runners of all skill levels, with built-in GPS for distance, pace, speed and route, 24/7 wrist-based heart rate and up to 14 days of battery life in smartwatch mode. One button press starts a run or walk, and finished activities upload automatically to Garmin Connect.
Who it is for
It is built for new and experienced runners who want structured training without a complicated interface, plus everyday fitness users who track steps, calories and sleep. Free Garmin Coach adaptive plans cover 5K, 10K and half marathon goals, while daily suggested workouts adapt to your recent training and recovery. Multiple built-in sport apps, including track running, pool swimming, Pilates and HIIT, make it a practical all-day watch for gym, road, track and treadmill sessions. It is swim-ready to a 5 ATM water rating, so it suits pool and surface water activity, but it is not a dive computer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Garmin Forerunner 55 have GPS?
Yes. The Forerunner 55 has built-in GPS, so it tracks distance, speed, pace and route outdoors without needing your phone for those metrics. GPS mode battery life is up to 20 hours. A single button press starts a run or walk, and the completed activity uploads automatically to Garmin Connect for review.
Is the Garmin Forerunner 55 a smartwatch?
Yes. Along with running features it works as a smartwatch, showing connected notifications such as texts, emails and social media alerts when paired with a compatible smartphone. It also tracks steps, calories, intensity minutes and sleep 24/7, monitors heart rate from the wrist, and runs up to 14 days per charge in smartwatch mode.
Can I dive or scuba dive with the Forerunner 55?
No. The Forerunner 55 carries a 5 ATM swim water rating, meaning it withstands pressure equivalent to a depth of 50 meters, and Garmin states it is not suited for diving. Use it for pool swimming and surface water activity. For scuba, choose a purpose-built dive computer instead.
