I bought the watch as one of the cheapest ways to get into the Garmin world. For the price I was disappointed by the processing of the watch. I have tried even more expensive versions and therefore Garmin in the quality of processing and software lags behind the competition. It seems to me that it's more about the persistence of the past years. Nevertheless, the watch does exactly what it is designed to do. They have accurate, if a little slower, GPS. They are suitable mainly for running, but they can also handle other sports. The only thing I personally miss is the "trail run" option, which is found in the higher models; and more accurate sleep monitoring (at least the beginning and end could be fixed somehow).
They look beautiful.
Alza sells a hardened case that fits almost perfectly and also a nylon bracelet.
They are light and do not show on the hand.
MIPs display looks great in the sun.
I support the Garmin couch.
Possibility to download additional functions via Connect IQ.
Terribly annoying "tips" how to use the watch. They should only appear for a short time after the clock is reset, but I get them twice a day.
The buttons rattle a bit and are inaccurate. One has to be careful not to squeeze them completely.
When navigating in the menu, the backlight flashes occasionally even though it is completely off in the settings.
Incredibly inaccurate for sleep monitoring. It's not just that they can't accurately record the individual phases (deep error completely), they can't even hit the beginning and end of the sleep. "Chinese" watches for a fraction of the price have known this for years (i.e. the beginning and the end. sleep phases are also inaccurate).

From my perspective, as someone who owned a Galaxy Watch 2, this is a step backwards. The watch has a smaller small and inferior display, enough pixels can be seen. The biggest shame of the display though is its brightness, which when not under light is nothing special. Once you're under the sun, it's beautiful to see. The watch is strictly for sports, and I can't imagine using it in the same way as the Galaxy 2 because the Garmin 55 doesn't even have a touchscreen. Personally, I think they are not bad for someone starting out in the sport. I was buying them because I was only using the Galaxy 2 for sports functions anyway, and didn't need anything more.
