WRIST-BASED RUNNING POWER

See how much power you’re applying to the trail or the road so you can manage your effort and fine-tune your training. No accessory required.

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.

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

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.

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 rate4 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 rest4.

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 Ox5 and respiration, alongside detailed insights for improved sleep quality.

PULSE OX SENSOR

This wrist-based Pulse Ox sensor5 monitors blood oxygen saturation levels to support advanced sleep monitoring and altitude acclimation.
