I love the fenix 7 with its looks and feels, I wish there was an AMOLED variant though because that would be very epic for sure. I'm currently tracking all my runs on an Apple watch SE but the battery life and the accuracy aren't that great, winning this giveaway therefore would be very sweet. Thanks guys for this explainer and I look forward to seeing more content.

I started running in lockdown, with my first steps being Couch to 5k. I bought a Forerunner 245 in late 2020, and it has been brilliant, but I started to get a bit adventurous with my running, and the 245 battery gave up in the 99th km of Race to the Stones (my longest and so far only 100km run). Doh! Whilst the high end watches are amazing, practically speaking I need a 955 - it is wearable the whole time, functionally accomplished, and HAS A LONGER BATTERY LIFE! 🤣 Keep up the good work Running Channel - you're great.

Started about 7 months ago with a Samsung watch, before I moved onto Garmin because I wanted a system that factors in health and activity in training plans. 700km later managed to run 5k under 30 minutes. Pretty proud as I was rather large and couldn't run for 2 minutes consecutively at the beginning 😅

I'm a sophomore in highschool and I joined cross country last year. I realized how much I love to run and how necessary a good watch is. My current watch is a first generation Venu SQ with heavy scratches and a battery that isn't great anymore. The longest run I've gone in was a 9.79 mile run in 1:10:02 (7:09pace). My goal is to run a half marathon this summer in under 1.5 hours, and a new watch would really help!

​@@ManpreetSLThe main things that I was looking for was a longer battery life, music and map support. I ended up upgrading myself to the Venu 2 Plus. It doesn't have the map support but it does have music and a better battery as well as better screen. I figured the microphone and speaker in it made it a worth it upgrade for me. Although don't get me wrong, the Venu sq is a great watch and if something happens to my current watch I'll jump right back into using it.

Just started running again a couple months ago after over 20 years of avoiding it, not remembering how good I felt mentally and physically after running regularly. It has been a great way to have an activity my son and I enjoy doing together, we've done a few short 1-2 mile "races" since I started. I will probably get the Garmin 55 due to my just starting back into this, though the 255 would be a better option for longer term especially with the full navigation, the 955 is just too hard to justify this early in starting my running habit.

The 55 is a solid watch, leaves some of the analysis and choices to you. Great vid keep them coming.

Even though it is entry level, the data it provides on my performance has helped me to plan activities, particularly when linked to the functionality of Garmin Connect. The only thing that would be better is more data, so ultimately a 955 would be a massive win!

Garmin definitely make the best sports watches on the market. I highly appreciate their added value related not only to the data that shows a lot about the current sports and health status, but also to all the training that it creates and follows according to the current fitness level. I have changed 4 watches. My previous FR 245 m was the one that helped me start running and thanks to its courses it managed to prepare me for a 10 km run in a month, while before I could barely run 1-2 km. It definitely made me a devout fan of the brand.

I have just recorded a 21.1k, exactly 8 months after knee surgery. Put in a crazy amount of effort getting back to what i was able to do pre-injury

955 looks like great upgrade choice from my 235 which has served me so well for the last 6 years on numerous road and mountain marathons. Great video and advice!

I have been an outdoor leader and used Garmin GPS devices in the field. The Garmin Forerunner 955 would greatly help me navigate the outdoors and access health and training data without worrying about the battery, courtesy its Solar feature!

Earlier this year while recovering from knee surgery I decided to buy myself a Forerunner 935 to use for running once I got recovered. Several months later and as I'm able to run again I find that my watch has really made a difference in my training in comparison to prior to my injury. I think buying a sports watch was one of the best purchases I made this year!

I've been looking at the forerunner 55 to get me back into the swing of running after taking a break due to injury. Even when I was running consitently I felt I needed some instant motivation instead of faffing with my phone on strava and trying to work out my splits from that. Of course the 955 would be incredible and I'd make sure I put it to proper use!

Bought my first Garmin in 2016. A Fenix 3. This watch motivated me to run my first half-marathon. My current Fenix 6x Pro took me to my PB best half-marathon in 1:36. I have to admit that my garmin changed my life.

I started my running journey when I got my galaxy watch 4 and have loved seeing my fitness improve over the last 6 months. I'm now starting to push into the endurance duration and distances, I've had to hold myself back and manage the recovery of my legs as im getting some little niggles and dont want them to progress to full injury. I've had my eye on the forerunner 255 for a bit now and recently missed out on the 955 with a nice discount, It is my hope that the forerunner series will be able to get me to the finish line of my first ever marathon by the end of 2023, Happy running all!

Top video. i startet with an vivoactive 3, then with a forerunner 45, instinct 2 solar, forerunner 255 and now the epix gen 2. this watch is so so nice, it does all i want and the screen is just insane. battery life is quiet impressive for an amoled screen, 5-6 days with almost daily workouts.
