If you love to walk, jog, or run, the Garmin Forerunner 55 GPS Running Smartwatch can make for an ideal companion. Multiple features are geared towards those who prefer to run, such as integrated GPS for tracking runs and variables like time, distance, and pace. Other features help you prepare for races and track cadence to improve your running form. While the Forerunner 55 is focused on running, it supports more than that with built-in activity profiles that track a host of other workouts and exercises. Monitoring your exercise and run metrics is important, but so is monitoring your body. As you work out, a built-in wrist-based heart rate monitor helps you keep tabs on how far you’re pushing yourself. The heart rate monitor also helps with other health and wellness features, such as stress and respiration tracking, and letting you know how well your body has recovered from exercise. Add in smart notifications and control over your smartphone’s music playback, and you have a smartwatch you can use throughout your entire day.
Make sure this fits by entering your model number.
