Which Garmin GPS Watch Is Right For You?

[@runningchannel]

Let’s us know in the description which watch suits you best and why!

[@raoufannab]

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.

[@MrRJH90]

@@raoufannab I thought the the Epix 2 was a Fenix 7 with an AMOLED screen?

[@sambarnes6664]

Been using my Samsung 46mm for ages. Thinking about making the jump to the 955. 🤔

[@stevemortimore1366]

I think the Epix would be a great watch to have, the AMOLED screen looks fantastic in the video.

[@chrisshaw2810]

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.

[@ismovanutube]

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 😅

[@mrnata5893]

Im proud of u, keep running

[@Anwarboy786]

Great effort! so in otherwords, Samsung is a gimmick, and Garmin is the real deal, acutally putting the data to good use ? do you know how fitbit's compare?

[@idahoman325]

Great job 🎉 so the Samsung just wasn't keen enough to keep up with you ?

Which one did you get? I'm currently you at the beginning lol

[@ismovanutube]

@@SlimJ1980-Eire I got a good deal on a Fenix 7. But if you like amoled screens the new 265 and 965 are great.

[@7205chinthaka]

I started with vivoactive 3 and just completed the Singapore half marathon in 2 hours and 1 min. Garmin coach helped me a lot to achieve this.

[@dimitriskataras8507]

Started with the Forerunner 235 six years ago and it made me a better runner!! Then I upgraded to the Fenix 6x Pro, after I started doing more athletic activities, and I was thrilled (I still am!!). What can I say about Garmin watches? They are magnificent and the best companion/guide/coach for a healthier lifestyle. As soon as you decide what you want to do, make a choice according to this excellent video and you’ll be set!!

[@jadel-houssami4994]

Still use a 235 and it's great for me.

[@redwood9398]

Love the screen of the Epix but not the looks. 955 offers the best compromise for me.

[@carrickdubya4765]

[@joshkieser9122]

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!

[@ManpreetSL]

What features are you looking to gain from upgrading? I do a variety of sports including running, and the Venu Sq has all the features I've ever needed. I'm confused about what features there are that warrant the extra cost.

[@joshkieser9122]

​@@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.

[@blothor]

I'm new to running and I've just hit the point where I can manage a full 5K. As someone with a disability, this is already a massive achievement for me. The Forerunner 955 looks amazing and would really help me to track my progress from this point on.

[@behindthen0thing]

Is a nice tool and it inspires

[@Prog4Prog]

Hey congratulations on your achievement! That’s solid mate. How’s your progress these days? 💪

[@BethanyBlount]

I didn't start my smartwatch journey with Garmin but am so glad that I've switched. Their watches are so much more durable, even at the entry level, but especially the feature rich ones.

[@jamieblackburn4334]

I've been running for the past 6 years now, but approximately 3 years ago I brought the Forerunner 45, and it's still holding strong! I never knew the benefit that running with pace would have on my training, but it significantly improved my ability. Next year I'm aiming to complete a marathon, and in the hot Australian sun, the solar 955 would fit right in place 😁

[@jeramylawson8526]

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.

[@elviscolaco5797]

Bought the forerunner 55 and ran my first half marathon in 10 weeks using its Garmin coach feature. Had been running occasionally earlier with lots of weight training, unable to lose the extra flab. Will continue running regularly henceforth, Garmin makes that journey data driven.

[@ArthurWeeks]

I upgraded from the 245 to the 255 and love it. Of course the 955 is a great watch as well.

[@colby_ginga6079]

The insight into running data these watches provide is beyond what I first thought. Both for new and advanced runners it transforms your exercises and makes your running experience more enjoyable. Each watch seems very difficult to beat yet the next model always improves, really does provide a watch for everyone and some budget friendly options

[@loicdubois8433]

I currently have the Forerunner 45 which has definitely served me well for the past 2 years but as I look to increase the distance and intensity of my training, the 45 really is showing its limits whether it be in terms of battery life or data. The 955 really looks like one of the most complete watches for almost any athlete and it would definitely be a plus in my prep for an upcoming semi-marathon I am looking to compete in. Thanks for the awesome videos!

[@MrArnie82]

I got the 55 and I looking/want the 955 😂

[@yantraaji2981]

Currently using forerunner 935 for 4 years now. I was always happy with battery life, especially for running and trail running programs. 50k with full GPS worked like a charm. But man, from 935 to 955, there are a lot of upgrades, especially the map. It'll definitely help in tracking runs, trail runs and setting a new course. And with solar charge, even better for outdoor activity here in Indonesia. I definitely will upgrade from FR935 to FR955

[@matthiaswuest7271]

I recently upgraded from 935 to 955. It is a whole other experience, way more health tracking metrics and wow the map! I was so tired with breadcrumb navigation, having a labeled map on the wrist is so much nicer. Pretty much all the features of the flashier 965 that just dropped as well :D

[@GodzillaGoesGaga]

@@matthiaswuest7271 Thanks for the comment. I’m just upgrading from my 935 which I have been very happy with but the breadcrumbs has led me astray too many times. The mapping is my main reason for the 955. It arrives in a few days & I’m so excited. FYI I use the 935 with the RDpod.

[@hchan4659]

I never realised how useful having a running watch was until my partner convinced me to try out Garmin. 5 months down the line with my FR255s by my side, I've been making PRs and seeing my health (and vo2 max!) improve a significant amount!! Never regretted the purchase once!!

[@jpseekings]

Running on and off since 35 years old, now 56 I wanted to get the most out of myself. The 955 has some great benefits, map and performance for two. 255 gives trends better than the 55, and for the price is my preference. The 55 is a solid watch, leaves some of the analysis and choices to you. Great vid keep them coming.

[@adamorourke7129]

I've started running with a Garmin 45 S to help me prep for a half marathon in March, and it is amazing! 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! Love your work TRC - it's great to see you do these things to give someone a very cool Christmas and help achieve our running aims, keep up the good work!

[@zeniktorres4320]

Thanks. I've just got back into I think I'll get the 55. Its probably all I need for now.

[@peter7371]

I just got the 255 after having the 235 for two years and man it was quite the upgrade. The 235 had emotional value but all the new features of the 255 are insane!

Great overview for Garmin watches, making clear the differences between fitness, runnning and outdoor activities and which watch to wear.😀

Newly dedicated runner here, but with lots of years doing sport and other activities. Set myself a goal of running a marathon around my 40th birthday late this year. Looking at upgrading to a Garmin because I find stats very helpful for my training so this video was really helpful, thanks 😊 Will definitely be keen on looking at the 55 or 255!

[@zeniktorres4320]

Me too. What did you decide on? I'm looking at the 55 at the moment,

[@jordi_carne]

I have an Instinct Solar and it has been super cool using it in outdoor activities (run, bike, hike, climb, swim...), mainly thanks to it's navigation feature and its battery life. Now that I'm taking running a little bit more seriously, it'd be nice to have the extra features that the 955 offers.

[@alohafruits2605]

what's your battery life when fully charged? I get 4 days max but it never lasts that long and I have the solar!

[@jordi_carne]

@@alohafruits2605 It indicates 26 days of battery when fully charged, but I get more like 10-15, depending on sun exposure and use. That's tracking 1 hour of activity almost everyday and usually with GPS. It seems like you may have some battery issue.

[@gareless]

I initially planned on getting a forerunner 55 but after doing some research decided that the 255 was the best option for me at this moment. I used to have a Fitbit and the difference in features and data is huge. I’m loving my 255 and I hope to enjoy many years with it.

[@3rodox]

I've just pulled the trigger on a 255 after initially looking to get a fitbit charge 5. This is good to hear! I want as much data as possible (at this price point)

[@gareless]

@@3rodox I had a charge 5! And I can tell you, once you try Garmin you can’t go back 😂 the amount of details and info it gives you about your pace, your heartbeat, your performance can’t be compared. Plus you don’t need any subscription to access all the features it offers. In the long run it’s cheaper 🙏🏼

[@solitude8375]

Fitbit, imho is the worst watch. I had a Versa watch and after buying it, I realised it is not a GPS watch.

[@GloriousMordoriusGM]

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.

[@jrao89]

Been looking at jumping into the Garmin ecosystem for a while now. This videos one most comprehensive and up to date ones on Garmin watches on KZbin. Great stuff!

[@hhissa1]

I have been using the 55 for a year and a half and I am totally happy with it! The features of the more expensive running watches from Garmin look nice, but I think that for a standard runner, the 55 is good enough!!!

[@amblincork]

I have over 35 marathons done, half on mountains and trails and two 60 KM trail marathons and dont have a GPS watch. Most of the so called features on these watched are over hyped and add liitle real vaue to running. I think you are right about the 55 which I may think about getting if I see it at a sale price

[@zeniktorres4320]

@@amblincork I agree. I wait these watches to know distance and pace without the need for a phone.All other features i don't if I'll use. The 55 will satisfy that.

Thanks. It's what I wanted to hear. The 55 is it for me.

[@Regimeshifts]

as a fr55 user for the past 3 years with 4 marathons, one 50km trail and loads of shorter distances, i think it is really perfect. the rest of the stuff is fluff. i set myself a goal that to get a fancier watch with navigation, i need to be able to run three other 50km trail runs. until then (and seeing that i have only done one), i will remain with my trusted fr55!

[@MrSupernova111]

@@amblincork . That's nonsense. For a beginner or amateur the performance metrics and gps in Garmin watches can make a huge difference. You can also run naked but it doesn't make it ideal.

[@louissimpson9231]

I currently have an old Forerunner 35, one of the older watches Garmin has made. Still is brilliant to use and I've ran a few marathons with it. However, an upgrade to a forerunner 255 or 955 would be boss! The technology in these watches are making lifestyle balance and exercise great.

I started on the forerunner 45 two years ago, I received it for my birthday and so far I loved it!

The pace pro and coaching (suggested workouts) features are interesting to me, Solar would be badass as well. Would love a 955 or Fenix 7. I have a Venu but it only has up to half marathon training plans. The problem with how durable and well designed Garmin watches are is that they never die so justifying an upgrade expense is hard :p . Wish I had seen this video prior to purchasing the Venu years ago !

The Garmin range is huge, so thanks for a good overview of the key model differences 👍 The Epix 2 would be my ideal watch with the built-in maps for navigation and the bright screen, but it's a huge leap up from my old Forerunner 310XT which has worked well for running and cycling ...until it recently started to lose the GPS signal mid-ride! 🤨

Thank you for this nice overview. I am started running again and train for my first half-marathon in April 2023. Currently I am using a old fenix 5 from a good friend but I am looking out for a newer watch.

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.
