The Forerunner 55 adds a raft of new training and workout tools to Garmin’s entry-level GPS watch.
Garmin has launched a new entry-level running watch – the Forerunner 55 – with a set of new training tools. Like the Forerunner 45 before it, the new Garmin is designed for runners of all abilities, and is particularly well suited to anyone investing in their first sports watch, and includes on-board GPS location tracking (a feature missing from many similarly priced fitness trackers). Many of the Forerunner 55’s new features are designed for people aiming to complete their first race, or improve their times. The new PacePro tool helps you adjust your runs to suit a particular course or distance, while the finish time estimator suggests how long it will take you to complete a particular distance without the need to consult a separate app or website.
