Review: Excellent performance - though the non-solar model is £70 less… cycling GarminUK
is an extremely powerful multi-sport smartwatch with huge scope for customisation. The health data is presented in a much more user-friendly format than previously, but whether the benefit of solar is worth the extra cost will depend on how long and sunny your activities are.
You can add structured workouts or follow the recommended daily workout – it'll give you one specific to running and cycling. The screen is colour, as you'd expect at this price. This is particularly useful for maps and also makes the summary data pages quick and easy to understand. It's easy to load a route whether via Garmin Connect, a direct import to the device or auto-syncing with a route-making platform such as Strava or Komoot.The navigation is good, with arrows showing the directions, and an alert as you are approaching a junction set as default, which is helpful given it's on your wrist. It quickly alerts you if you go off course, too.
There are numerous other navigation features such as 'do course in reverse', points of interest around you and creating a route automatically on the watch. I also like that you can start a course mid-ride.The Forerunner 955 Solar supports ANT+ and Bluetooth sensors, enabling you to connect power meters and heart rate sensors if you prefer an alternative to the wrist-based measurements.
If you do heart rate zone training then you may want to consider a heart rate strap to be sure you are working in the correct zones . I tended to use a heart rate strap if I was doing something more intense, whereas for a recovery ride or an easy jog I'd rely on the watch. The watch also suggests training sessions based on your training load, training readiness and your level of fitness using data collected from previous sessions. I found these to be useful for ensuring a balanced training load, as I am guilty of neglecting certain types of sessions. I found most recommendations to be about the right level of challenging but completable.
I haven't done anything quite that long in one go, but I managed similar figures with three long rides totalling around 18 hours over the course of a long weekend without needing to recharge. You can always drop the tracking accuracy down to GPS-only which doubles the battery life if you want to do something extremely long.
