Garmin Forerunner 55, now you can track your strokes in the pool too!
1.04″ screen size – Bluetooth/ANT+ – GPS, Glonass and Galileo – Garmin Elevate heart rate monitor – 200 hours of data – 5ATM – Connect IQ – Running/cycling/swimming/fitness – PacePro and workout tips – 20mm strap – Stress/breathing – 3 colours
An essential for every runner, the new Garmin Forerunner 55 has arrived to improve on the performance of the previous version. With that one you could collect data from your runs, gym time and bike rides, but now you can also add your swim strokes. Its wide range of built-in activity profiles will show you the amount of calories, distance travelled and time spent (among other features) for all these sports, monitoring your overall health and wellbeing at all times.
More comfortable design
The Garmin Forerunner 55’s 1.4-inch display and 20mm strap with a watch-standard quick-release clasp make this smartwatch one of the best complements for those who wear small to medium sizes. The transflective colour panel, with 208 x 208 px resolution, will allow you to place up to 4 pieces of data per screen, and it has 5 screens for each of the sport profiles. All this while weighing only 37 grams and featuring a Garmin Elevate heart rate monitor from the last generation, which will offer a great accuracy in the recording of your heart rate. Its silicone strap will provide you with a very high level of comfort, whether you are in a HIIT session or running a half marathon (you can change it for another 20 mm model if it suits you better).
Garmin Coach, a coach on your wrist
With the new Garmin Forerunner 55 you also get a personalised coach, because its Garmin Coach feature gives you expert guidance and free training plans that are tailored to you and your goals. You can even get daily running recommendations at different intensities, based on your training history, fitness level and recovery time. Add to that the heart rate sensor that measures your heart rate whilerunning and at rest (it even warns you when it’s too high) and you’re more likely to have a better workout.
Triple GPS to get you to the finish line
Among other things, it achieves these advantages because it has a triple GPS system, which will track where you run and give you accurate stats, including distance, pace and intervals. Its Pacepro technology will help you plan your race day strategy by giving you GPS-based pace guidance for a course or distance you select on the Garmin Connect APP. You’ll even know how much time you have left to the finish line based on your pace. You’ll improve your running technique with its incident alerts and monitor recovery between training sessions with this smartwatch.
Up to two hours of use
Another advantage of the new Garmin Forerunner 55 is that it will allow you to run as long as you want with its 2 weeks of battery life in smartwatch mode and up to 20 hours in GPS mode.
New sport profiles
The big revolution of the Forerunner 55 is that, as well as tracking everything we do on land, it now dares to goes swimming. Its swimming profile will record lengths, stroke, swim pace and heart rate when we are in the water, and set alerts for time, distance or activate automatic rest (for when you reach the wall). Another profile that enhances this model is its TrackRun (track running training). When you do four calibration laps, it will adjust the route taken and distance set. You can also compete on virtual platforms like Zwift with its “Virtual Run” profile.
Get even more performance with Garmin Connect IQ
These are just the basic benefits of this model. If you connect it via Bluetooth to your smartphone and download the Garmin Connect IQ application, you will have full compatibility with this app. You can install new applications (sport profiles or tools), widgets, specific data fields or change the display features. There are even apps for importing and tracking routes, or improving in sports like yoga or breathing and stress management. You can even connect it to other devices such as cadence and speed sensors that are compatible with the ANT+ standard.
