Why This Watch
Same touchscreen, full-color maps, and Training Readiness as the standard 955, plus Garmin's Power Glass solar lens for up to 20 days in smartwatch mode. Superseded by newer generations, but still a strong pick for long-distance and ultra runners who care about battery life over the newest chipset.
