If you’ve recently decided to get into running, aside from having supportive running shoes, the next best gadget to help you on your journey is a fitness tracker. Garmin’s Forerunner family is designed with runners in mind, and right now, their entry-level running watch, the Forerunner 55, has hit a new low price at Amazon.
You can snag this brilliant GPS watch for almost 40% off at Amazon, where it’s currently reduced from £179.99 to £113.95. Ideal for running rookies, it monitors a range of running metrics with high accuracy, including time, distance, pace and speed. It received a solid four stars in our Forerunner 55 review.
It also has plenty of features that’ll help you get better at your new craft, such as personalised run workout suggestions based on your training history, fitness level and recovery time. Then there’s Garmin Coach, which can help you get ready to run a 5k, 10k or half marathon in a set time, if you fancy setting yourself a new challenge.
As well as keeping track of your progress, with the Forerunner 55 you’ll also be able to monitor your overall health and wellness, with its heart rate tracker, stress tracking, body battery and more. You’ll also be able to squeeze two weeks worth of battery out of it (in smartwatch mode), and it has a 5ATM water resistance rating. Don’t walk for this brilliant offer, ruuuuun!
