Great features!
I bought this watch 3 weeks ago and LOVE it! I previously used a smart watch, and it does not compare with my Forerunner! I totally recommend it to anyone who wants to better track exercise, and sleep, among other things.

Love the features
My older brother gave this to me for my birthday and I love everything about it. You can receive texts , see how many miles your walking and running and it can monitor your heart rate and pulse and etc… it has reminders to tell you to move and I love that because I do exercise a lot with my family and if I feel like I’m not getting any cardio movement or what ever it will tell you “ hey get moving “ and that to me is wonderful . I know I just recently got it so I need to learn more but from wha...

255 forerunner
I bought the watch a year ago and it's been faultless. I wear it every day at work, and it stands up to a lot of abuse. Way more than I thought it would do . Fantastic training aid and the garmin app challenges make you want to go out when sometimes you can't be chewed. Price, was reasonable Would consider upgrading to the 265 when prices became cheaper.

Lots of features
Just got my Garmin forerunner 255 about a month ago. Stil getting use to the features. Using mainly for walking with my dogs. Awaiting hip surgery later this year. Like the sleep data, steps info & heart rate information

From Garmin
Way better than my old Samsung.
I have had it about a month now. The features it offers and ease of use is amazing. The battery lasts four times as long.

Great value!
Upgraded from a vivoactive 4. Took a little getting used to not having a touch screen but fine once you get the hang of it. I mainly train for triathlons so the 255 is a great upgrade being able to control my bike trainer and more accurate run data and better swim data. I found the heart rate monitor didn’t work very well on my left wrist but seems to work just fine on my right wrist. I also use a chest strap heart rate monitor during my workouts and that works great with the watch. Overall a gr...

Best upgrade ever!
I had an Apple Watch for years until I started taking my running seriously. As I was training for my first ultra marathon, I noticed my Apple Watch would have a low battery at the end of the day before my run- even after charging it every night. I upgraded to the FR 255 and couldn’t be happier. I can wear this watch for DAYS without having to charge it. Stats are super accurate and helpful and being able to map out courses and see them directly on my watch is amazing

Great watch but sleep feature is not working
I love this watch and I have always bought Garmin for its heart rate monitoring accuracy. I’m disappointed that my sleep is hardly ever correctly measured, however. Often the watch only records 19-38 minutes of sleep, usually around 4-5 in the morning. I’ve tried restarting the watch and it has not worked. Manually logging my sleep is an option but it doesn’t record my sleep stages or give me a sleep score.

Awesome features!
I got my garmin a month ago and I’m so pumped at how far my training has come! With all the data I can see now it really helps with training and recovery.

Love This
I love everything about this watch. The features it comes with are amazing but the sleep tracking lacks in my opinion. Overall the watch is beautiful and has a nice design. Would highly recommend this if your a runner.
From Garmin
I love the fact that I can see my calls and messag
I got it as a gift and I love it! It’s light and I’m not really a watch person. Cause I like my hands to be free. This watch is so light weight I forget it’s there.
From Garmin
Great but limited
I really like this watch. The size is great. It’s comfortable. The features are great, however I do wish I spent a little more for one that is touchscreen. Not being touchscreen kinda limits the features for me a lot. Other than that it’s a great watch.

Replaced my 735XT
Great replacement. Super long batt life. Love the RHR feature as well as the ability to add way more data screens for running than I’ll ever need. Highly recommended!

charging hole not designed to be covered
all is good except for the charging hole should be covered otherwise with lots of sweat, it will be eroded
