Runners, rejoice: the Garmin Forerunner 955, a formidable smartwatch that we once called the "best choice for elite runners", has just scored a major 20% discount at Best Buy, knocking the price down to only $399.99. Believe it or not, the Forerunner 955 has never received a discount larger than this, which means now is the perfect time to buy.
✅Recommended if: you're a runner or cyclist looking for personalized guidance and comprehensive data from your smartwatch; you don't mind buying last year's fitness watch.
❌Skip this deal if: you can afford the Garmin Forerunner 965; you want a watch with an AMOLED display.
As we noted in our glowing Forerunner 955 review over a year ago, the Garmin watch impresses by providing an incredible amount of fitness data for runners in particular, with loads of personalized reports and Training Readiness calculations, super-accurate GNSS tracking with full-color mapping, and days upon days of battery life.
Sure, the newer Forerunner 965 is arguably a better watch than its predecessor (if you can afford it), but if you want deeply comprehensive running data for less than $500, this is the deal for you.
