FIRST CLASS TRIATHLON AND MULTISPORT WATCH
The Garmin Forerunner 955 is perhaps the world’s best triathlon and multisport watch to date. The Forerunner 955 is a GPS, heart rate monitor, sports watch and much, much more in one integrated watch.
The Forerunner 955 helps you become a better athlete, and helps you safely through your training and competitions, so that you train on the most optimal boat.
Garmin Forerunner helps you see your performance requirements; including training status, training load, VO2-max, recovery time, heat and altitude acclimatization as well as aerobic and anaerobic training effect.
PERFORM AND MAXIMIZE YOUR PERFORMANCE
Forerunner 955 monitors and provides personal insight into your training, so you can train smarter without overloading your body.
With Garmin Elevate – wrist-based heart rate measurement, the watch registers VO2-max, and adjusts the value based on heat and altitude, and tells you your training status based on that data.
Based on training history and performance indicators, the Forerunner 955 also tells you whether you are training productively, peaking or overexerting your body.
Forerunner 955 monitors your training so you can see the progress of your endurance, speed and strength with aerobic and anaerobic training effect.
Recovery time tells you after each workout how long you should wait until the next workout in order to perform and achieve the best result for the workout.
Forerunner 955 measures your total training load over the last 7 days and compares it to your optimal fitness level and training history.
Training Readiness
With the new Training Readiness feature, you get to know if you’re ready to train hard or if it might be better to take it easy. You get a value between 1-100, which is based on your sleep quality, your previous training sessions and your HRV Status.
Morning Report
With Morning Report, you get a report every morning about the day’s activities. The report also includes how you slept and, for example, your “training readiness”.
Real-Time Stamina
Real-Time Stamina constantly gives you a figure for how much energy you have left in the tank. The function can both show how long you can continue at the speed you are currently running, but it can also say that you have 50% left.
Integrated wattage data
The integrated wattage data means that you can get a different value to run after. Watt data takes into account the slope of the road, so you can try to run at a constant intensity.
NAVIGATION, MAPS AND POPULARITY ROUTES
With the Garmin Forerunner 955, you always have navigation on your wrist. The topographical map works as a small navigation with roads and points of interest (POIs). With a built-in map function, it offers many useful options that can open new doors for your training.
With Turn-by-Turn navigation, it’s easy to run or cycle along a route and a point of interest. Navigate as you know it from car navigation and much more.
Popularity routes – with data collected from users worldwide, the Garmin Forerunner 955 helps find the most popular routes.
Round-Trip Run and Round-Trip Ride route planning is a function that quickly and easily creates a route for you at the entered distance. This feature makes it fun to explore new roads when you’re on the go or just want to try new routes.
The new touch screen makes it much easier to use the map function, as you simply swipe around with your fingers.
GARMIN PAY
Garmin Forerunner 955 is designed with a small NFC chip, which sits in the watch – just like contactless payment cards.
With Garmin Pay, you can pay contactless with the watch at all contactless payment terminals.
Note: Garmin Pay only works with Jyske Bank, Nordea and Danske Bank Mastercard (May 2019).

GARMIN MUSIC
Take your music on the go and train with your favorite music directly from your wrist.
The Garmin Forerunner 955 makes it possible to store music directly on the watch (MP3 files) or stream offline playlists onto the watch directly from the popular streaming services.
Garmin Music works with Spotify Premium and Deezer Premium.
Connect your wireless headphones via bluetooth to the watch and play your favorite music at any time.
SATELLITE CONNECTIONS
With the Garmin Forerunner 955, you will be surprised at how much the watch can track. The Forerunner 955 has multi-network satellite reception, and receives both GPS, GLONASS and Galileo satellite connections. As something new, the Forerunner 955 has the possibility that you can turn on Multiband GPS and thus get a satellite connection from several different systems at once. It improves accuracy, but also drains more battery.
GPS connectivity can have challenges in providing accurate measurements and secure connectivity on its own. With GLONASS (Russian satellite connection) and Gallileo (European satellite connection), it ensures more accurate connection and secure tracking.

Garmin Forerunner 955 now comes with event recording on selected sports activities.
Turn on event recording and add your emergency contacts so they can get a direct message and location if the accident happens.
LiveTrack allows you to share your position during training and competition so that friends and family can follow you.
