Ive used the Garmin 955 for about 5 weeks or so it is on my wrist all day and all night except when in at work. This watch is such a huge update from my old Garmin 235 which was a great watch and constant for many of my running years...... The 955 now has more than an enough specs to keep any info freak happy while on the go or after youve finished and want to check on your phone.... Are there better Garmins out there? - maybe, but this is more than enough for 95 % of the running / cycling or adventure racing fans out there.

Reviews
I thought this watch would be too big for my small wrists, but it's absolutely brilliant! It's everything I could have asked for and more and at a bargain price too! Sigma Sports were excellent through the whole process...in fact, they emailed me to let me know they were having more of the white one in stock and asked if I wanted to reserve one! I've also bought a heart rate chest strap from them too. Review to come once I've used it! If you're thinking about buying this watch, just do it!

Garmin has been navigating riders, runners and explorers since 1989. From the original GPS unit to today's Edge cycling computers and Forerunner watches, every product is built to put rich, accurate data into the hands of the people who'll act on it.
The Edge range is the most widely used cycling computer line in the world. Mapping, power, training load, structured workouts, group ride messaging, incident detection — Edge has set the bar most other head units now chase.
