The price of Garmin Forerunner 955 Solar has dropped to an all-time low again. They offer excellent battery life and top-notch features for runners

The top-tier running watch Garmin Forerunner 955 Solar has returned to its lowest price after a long time. While it normally costs 11,490 CZK or more, you can currently get it for 9,990 CZK. For this price, you get a professional sports tracker with solar charging, detailed maps, and long battery life, which is among the best Garmin offers for runners.

Solar panel extends battery life up to 20 days

The Forerunner 955 Solar features a special Power Glass with solar cells that continuously recharges the battery from sunlight. In practice, this means that instead of the standard 15 days, the watch can last up to 20 days on a single charge in smartwatch mode. When using GPS, the battery life extends from 42 to 49 hours, which you’ll especially appreciate during ultramarathons or multi-day races.

The watch offers a 1.39-inch color display with a resolution of 260 × 260 pixels, which remains perfectly readable even in direct sunlight. Control is dual – you can use the touchscreen or the side buttons, which is especially useful when running with gloves.

Complete navigation and music directly on the watch

Unlike cheaper models, the Forerunner 955 Solar features full-fledged topographic maps with navigation capabilities. The watch uses GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo satellite systems for maximum positioning accuracy. Additionally, the package includes a voucher for downloading detailed Topo Czech PRO maps.

The internal memory can store up to 2000 music tracks, which you can play directly from the watch via Bluetooth headphones. This means you don’t have to carry your phone while running, which many runners will appreciate. The watch supports Spotify, Deezer, and Amazon Music services.

Advanced training features for passionate runners

The Forerunner 955 Solar offers features that you’ll especially appreciate during systematic race preparation. The Training Readiness feature analyzes your fatigue and recommends how strenuous a workout you can afford. The Race Widget automatically creates a training plan based on your upcoming race.

The watch measures VO2 max, recovery time, training effect, and other advanced metrics. An interesting feature is Body Battery, which displays your body’s remaining energy on a scale of 0-100. It also includes blood oxygen saturation measurement, stress monitoring, and sleep quality tracking.

Who are these watches ideal for?

The Garmin Forerunner 955 Solar is primarily designed for enthusiastic runners and triathletes who need a reliable tool for both training and races. It will be appreciated by those who run long distances and need battery life for an entire ultramarathon. Thanks to its 5 ATM water resistance, it is also suitable for swimming.

The watch can measure dozens of different sports, including cycling, swimming, golf, skiing, and yoga. It supports Garmin Pay contactless payments and displays phone notifications. It is compatible with both Android and iOS.

At the current price of 9,990 CZK, the Forerunner 955 Solar represents an interesting alternative to the more expensive Fenix series models, offering most of their features in a lighter, running-optimized design.
