Garmin Forerunner 955 Premium Running Smartwatch Garmin

Garmin Forerunner 955 Solar Smartwatch

Train your best, and perform your best with the Garmin Forerunner 955 Multi-sports watch.

Perfect for runners and sports enthusiasts, the Forerunner 955 has a significant upgrade with a touchscreen display and comes with a silicone strap ideal for swimming, and is 5ATM water-resistant.

The Forerunner 955 comes in two versions: solar and battery operated. Versions with solar charging lenses extend the battery life by harvesting solar energy. With adequate lighting and solar charging at capacity, the battery life is expected to last nearly three weeks in typical watch mode. In smartwatch mode, you can get up to 15 days of battery life, up to 42 hours in GPS mode, and up to 80 hours in UltraTracTM mode.

Robust and rugged, the Forerunner 955 is pumped with unimaginable features. Clocking a weight of just 52 g, this lightweight gadget gives you a full picture of your health- from sleeping to training, the moment you get up. Wrist-based heart rate, body battery energy monitoring, pulse OX sensor, women’s health tracking, and health snapshot features are all included.

View your whole week of daily suggested workouts in your Garmin ConnectTM smartphone app calendar and avail free adaptive training plans from the Garmin Coach. Your running power, real-time stamina, running dynamics, training status, acute load, recovery time, performance condition, and training effect are all available on a single gadget on your wrists.

The PaceproTM feature keeps you on track with grade-adjusted advice. Train smarter with VO2 max, which predicts your performance, taking into account even the fluctuations induced by heat or altitude. Get your indoor and outdoor training programs from the Garmin ConnectTM app, or sync easily from other platforms like TrainingPeaks® and more to your Forerunner smartwatch.

With activity profiles for cycling, triathlon, pool and open-water swimming, track running, and more, you can mix up your routines. Switch sports with a simple button press for races and block training.

Stay connected with the Multi-Band Support, full-color mapping, turn-by-turn navigation, round-trip routing, up ahead, and ClimbPro feature that enables the use of multiple global navigation satellite systems and mapping to keep you on track. The safety & tracking feature helps you stay safe by sending your location to emergency contacts. Plan or use the Garmin Connect to create or find existing courses.

A hoard of other unique features like music on your wrist, GarminPay contactless payments, smart trainer control, Garmin Connect app and Connect IQ store are embedded in the Forerunner 955.

Get ready to win the race with the Garmin Forerunner 955, a beast of a gadget with solar charging, touchscreen, improved GPS accuracy, and a new training readiness score.
