Garmin Forerunner 55 review: What do we like? The all-round experience you get with the Forerunner 55 is excellent, especially for runners. While it's at the cheaper end of Garmin's range, it has all the essentials that runners of all levels need, plus some handy bonuses such as those suggested workouts.

GPS accuracy and navigation: Many Garmin watches use multiple satellite systems to increase location accuracy in difficult environments, such as big cities with tall buildings. (Apple's Ultra also has multiple ways to track your location.) Garmins can help if you get lost, too, with preloaded topographic maps.
