Truth be told, the Forerunner 55 hasn't been selling at its RRP for a while; it usually hovers around the £130-140 price range. That said, it's never been this cheap, even on Black Friday last year, when it sold for around £123.

The Garmin Forerunner 55 features a 42mm fibre-reinforced polymer case and weighs just 37g, making it one of the lightest running watches around and comfortable enough for all-day wear.

Up front, you get a 1.04-inch sunlight-visible MIP (memory-in-pixel) display with a 208 x 208 resolution. It’s not flashy like AMOLED, but it’s always-on, highly legible outdoors and far more battery-efficient.

Battery life is a standout at this level, offering up to two weeks in smartwatch mode or around 20 hours with GPS enabled, which is more than enough for most runners and even longer events.

In terms of tracking, the watch includes built-in GPS, GLONASS and Galileo support, along with wrist-based heart rate monitoring. It also has a 5 ATM water rating, so it’s safe for pool swimming.

Feature-wise, you get daily suggested workouts, Garmin Coach plans, PacePro pacing strategies and recovery time estimates. Add in sleep tracking, stress monitoring and Body Battery.
