– Added Daily Suggested Workouts (basically gives you custom running workouts each day based on training/recovery) – Added PacePro (dynamic course-based pacing for races)
Garmin watches for men full#
Here’s the full bulleted list of changes: Let alone the Recovery Time and Daily Suggested Workouts.
For runners, getting PacePro and Track Run mode specifically are huge. None of these are ‘new’ to Garmin, but rather, new to this price point. While all the attention today is on the new LTE capabilities of the just-launched FR945 LTE, the real attention should be on the FR55 and the slate of new features it gets.

If you found this review useful, you can use the links at the bottom, or consider becoming a DCR Supporter which makes the site ad-free, while also getting access to a mostly weekly video series behind the scenes of the DCR Cave. After which I’ll likely go out and buy my own for future use. Once this review is done, I’ll get it boxed back up and sent back to them. Note that for this review I’m using a media loaner from Garmin. So I’ve got a pretty good feel on how well the FR55 works, and where its quirks are. Additionally, my wife has also used the FR55 on a number of her workouts too. I’ve been using the Forerunner 55 for a number of weeks now on workouts and 24×7 wear. True, the FR245 does have a handful of performance-oriented features, but very few unique ones remain at this point. The Forerunner 55 has gained the majority of the features that came to the FR245 last time around, including running track mode (for perfect GPS lines at the track), daily suggested workouts, women’s health tracking, PacePro (this is huge), Recovery Time, now full Connect IQ support, and plenty more.
Of course, as each successive series comes out, these so-called basic running watches get more and more features that ultimately make them far more feature-capable than the last iteration of the mid-range watches. This watch is aimed at folks that don’t need all the fancier features of a higher-end Forerunner 245, 745, or 945 series – but still want the core of the run tracking. Alongside today’s announcement of the new Forerunner 945 LTE, Garmin has also refreshed its least expensive running watch – the Forerunner 55.
