The Garmin Forerunner 55 is a lightweight GPS running watch built for simplicity. Press one button and it logs time, distance, pace and heart rate, and it adds daily suggested workouts based on your training history and recovery. It also tracks all-day steps, calories and sleep, with a battery that lasts days between charges. It sits below the Forerunner 255 and 265, which add multi-band GPS, more training metrics and music, so the 55 suits newer runners who want the basics done well rather than a full training computer.
