Is the Garmin Forerunner 55 worth around $300 AUD? In this video, I unbox the Garmin Forerunner 55 and take a first look at what you get for the money. I chose this Garmin because I wanted something that could be useful for outdoor activities, GPS tracking and potentially creating content while I'm out exploring. There are plenty of smartwatches and sports watches that cost significantly more, so I wanted to see what Garmin offers at this price point. In the box, we'll take a look at the watch, what comes with it, and some of the features I'm most interested in trying — including GPS, activity tracking, health features and the information I can potentially use in future videos. This isn't a long-term review yet. I'll be using the watch outdoors and sharing my experience in future videos. Is the Garmin Forerunner 55 worth around $300 AUD? Let's find out.
