- Is the Forerunner 955 Solar worth it over the 965?
- The 965 gives you a bright AMOLED screen and a more premium look. The 955 Solar gives you longer battery life, solar charging and a lighter feel, and it costs less. Pick the 955 Solar if battery and training data matter more than screen quality.
- How accurate is the multi-band GPS?
- It is one of the watch's strongest points. Reviewers report tight tracks on tree-covered trails and among tall buildings, where single-band watches tend to wander.
- How long does the battery last?
- Garmin rates about 20 days in smartwatch mode and up to 40 hours in GPS mode, with solar adding extra runtime in direct sun. Heavy GPS and music use cut that significantly.
- Does it work with iPhone and Android?
- Yes. It pairs with both iOS and Android through the Garmin Connect app for notifications, syncing and settings.
- Can I swim and shower with it?
- Yes. It is rated 5 ATM, so it handles pool swims, showers and rain. It is not meant for scuba diving.
- What is in the box?
- The watch, a charging cable and documentation. A spare silicone band is not included.
