MORNING REPORT Receive an overview of your sleep, recovery and training outlook as soon as you wake up — alongside HRV status, training readiness and weather. You can even customize your report to show what you want to see. HRV STATUS Gain a deeper understanding of your overall health, recovery and training performance through heart rate variability while you sleep, based on technology developed by our Firstbeat Analytics team. RACE WIDGET Get ready for your next race with training tips, daily suggested workouts and completion time predictions based on course details, weather and performance. DAILY SUGGESTED WORKOUTS View your entire week of daily suggested workouts, which adapt after every run to match your performance and recovery as well as the races coming up in your Garmin Connect smartphone app calendar. GARMIN COACH Free adaptive training plans include 5K, 10K, and half-marathon programs, featuring guidance from expert coaches that adapt to you and your goals. RUNNING POWER Get a continuous measurement on your wrist of how much power you’re applying to the road as you run when using a Running Dynamics Pod or HRM-Pro monitor. REAL-TIME STAMINA Use this data to track and manage your exertion — and help avoid overexerting at the start of your run or bike ride. RUNNING DYNAMICS When using a Running Dynamics Pod or HRM-Pro monitor, the Forerunner 955 watch measures crucial running metrics such as cadence, stride length, ground contact time and balance, and more. TRAINING STATUS Using new indicators such as HRV status, your recent exercise history and performance, get an easy insight into your overall effort — and whether you’re training productively, peaking or strained. ACUTE LOAD Compare the intensity of your recent workouts to the optimal range to improve your fitness and training history. TRAINING EFFECT See how your workouts influence your endurance, speed and power with aerobic and anaerobic training effect feedback. PACEPRO FEATURE The PacePro feature helps keep you on pace with grade-adjusted guidance as you run a course. RECOVERY TIME Know how long to recover before your next high-effort workout based on your latest training as well as overall stress, sleep and daily activities outside of workouts. VO2 MAX Train smarter with VO2 max, an indicator of how you can expect to perform. This metric even accounts for changes in performance that could be caused by heat or altitude. PERFORMANCE CONDITION While you run, get an analysis of your pace, heart rate and heart rate variability for a real-time assessment of your current ability to perform. SYNC TRAINING PLANS Get your indoor and outdoor training plans from the Garmin ConnectTM app, or sync seamlessly to your Forerunner smartwatch from other platforms, including TrainingPeaks and more. BUILT-IN SPORTS APPS Switch up your workouts with activity profiles for cycling, triathlon, pool and open-water swimming, track running and more. For races and brick workouts, switch sports with a single button press. VISUAL RACE PREDICTOR Based on your running history and overall fitness level, get an estimate of what your pace could be for a 5K, 10K — or even a marathon. Plus, trend data highlights your training’s impact over time. MULTI-BAND SUPPORT Access multiple global navigation satellite systems, and get access to multiple frequencies sent by navigation satellites for improved accuracy in areas where GNSS signals are reflected, weak or typically don't penetrate — giving you superior accuracy for how far and how fast you’ve run — even in challenging environments. FULL-COLOR MAPPING Whether you’re running on city streets or riding densely covered trails, Forerunner 955 provides full-color, built-in mapping to keep you on track. TURN-BY-TURN NAVIGATION Follow a course with help from turn-by-turn directions, which let you know ahead of time when the next turn is coming. ROUND-TRIP ROUTING With Trendline popularity routing, it’s easy to find the best local paths. Just enter a desired distance, and Forerunner 955 will suggest courses that bring you back to your starting point. UP AHEAD Get at-a-glance awareness for points of interest along the course. In addition, view performance metrics, split times and distance/elevation — plus a summary of key course points coming up. CLIMBPRO FEATURE Use the ClimbPro ascent planner on downloaded courses to see real-time information on your current and upcoming climbs, including gradient, distance and elevation gain. SAFETY AND TRACKING FEATURES If you feel unsafe or if your watch senses that an incident occurred, Assistance and incident detection features send messages with your location to emergency contacts. Incident detection is enabled by default for select activity profiles only. COURSES Create or find existing courses in the Garmin Connect app, so you’ll never run out of places to run. Or plan one on other platforms such as Strava and Komoot, then automatically sync them to your Forerunner. WRIST-BASED HEART RATE The watch constantly samples your heart rate with our latest-generation heart rate sensor and will alert you if it stays too high or too low while you’re at rest. It also helps gauge how hard you work during activities — even while swimming. BODY BATTERY ENERGY MONITORING Track your body’s energy levels so you can find the best times for activity and rest. IMPROVED SLEEP MONITORING AND SLEEP SCORE Understand how your body is recovering — and get ready for training — with our improved sleep monitoring feature. After waking up, you’ll receive a sleep score, as well as breakdown of your sleep stages, Pulse Ox and respiration, alongside detailed insights for improved sleep quality. PULSE OX SENSOR This wrist-based Pulse Ox sensor monitors blood oxygen saturation levels to support advanced sleep monitoring and altitude acclimation. WOMEN'S HEALTH TRACKING Use the Garmin Connect app to track your menstrual cycle or pregnancy. Log symptoms, get exercise and nutrition education, and more. Even see and log details on your wrist with the Women's Health Tracking app. HEALTH SNAPSHOT FEATURE Log a 2-minute session to record key stats, including heart rate, heart rate variability, Pulse Ox, respiration and stress. Then generate a report with those stats to share via the Garmin Connect app on your compatible smartphone.
