Garmin Forerunner 955 Solar review: 7 weeks and 200 miles of testing

 

Runners love Garmin, and serious runners love the high-end Forerunner models. The 955 Solar is ready for extreme distances, and has every feature you'll need.

Incredible battery life Consistently accurate GPS tracking Touch screen and 5-button navigation Easy-to-read screen in all conditions Great fitness and health features

Solar version is overkill for most runners Core features identical to lower Forerunners

“This is a serious watch for serious runners. If that's you, you'll be ecstatic with everything the 955 Solar has to offer.”

Garmin Forerunner 955 Solar Review: $600 Fitness Watch Outruns My Apple Watch

 

It's feature loaded and extremely comfortable.

Long-lasting battery life ; Accurate GPS tracking ; Morning Report feature is useful way to start the day ; Works with iOS and Android

Solar charging likely not worth extra $100 for most people ; No small option for this model ; Quick replies are limited to Android

Garmin Forerunner 955 Solar review – Top-tier triathlon watch with all the perks

 

Garmin's top-tier triathlon watch is more capable than ever thanks to the updated sensors and new multi-system satellite support

Same price as Forerunner 945 ; Touchscreen works well ; Race day widget and tailored daily workout suggestions are great for people who race often ; GPS is super fast ; Updated optical heart rate sensor is accurate

Battery life is weirdly short, even with solar ; Running power feature requires an external sensor

The Garmin Forerunner 955 Solar is a brilliant triathlon watch that offers more accurate heart rate sensor and GPS chip than the Forerunner 945 for almost the same price. The new features make the watch a versatile training partner; a shame it can't...

Garmin Forerunner 955 Solar review

 

The Garmin Forerunner 955 Solar is the best Forerunner yet

Stuffed with features ; Huge battery ; Classic Garmin design

Native running power features need an additional kit ; Touchscreen AND buttons seem unnecessary

The Garmin Forerunner 955 Solar is a phenomenal fitness watch, ranking among the best we’ve ever tried. We love the design and layout of the watch, its UX is classic Garmin, and it’s stuffed to the brim with features. The solar battery also lives up to...
