Does everything I need for running, MTB, surf and ski. I only use music while running because I don't want to carry a phone. would be 5 stars, but I've had to uninstall and reinstall and re-sync music a few times. Navigating My Music to select music to sync is a slow process and syncing takes time. Other than that good function. Recording epic days will pull lots of battery. 6-8 hour recording with a course being displayed can leave you close to dead battery.

So many features, hard to list
I upgraded from a 5-year old Forerunner 245 music and I am very pleased with this watch. Excellent battery life, the setup is easier, bigger watch face, and the sleep metrics along with HRV are incredibly valuable to any athlete.

Exactly what I was looking for
I bought it a few weeks ago and has so many useful features I didn't even know it had
From Garmin
Great features!
I’ve been wearing the Forerunner 255 for about 3 weeks now! I’m finally getting the hang of accessing all of the information being tracked and fine tuning all of the personal details. Would definitely recommend for the runner/athlete or average person looking to be more mindful of their health stats!

Forerunner 255 Music
I have the watch about a month now, battery life is 8-9 days. I for the most part like the watch a lot, loaded with features. The one thing that I am unhappy with is that garmin does not let you manually input BMI information and will only use what the watch "guesses" your BMI to be. I track all aspects of my health and fitness and this seems ridiculous that garmin not only won't let you input your own data but inputs grossly inaccurate data of its own. I had dexa scan which showed my BMI of 13 ...

Super cool
I love this watch I have had so many and this one works great
From Garmin
Very useful training & health monitoring tool !
This watch replaces my 3rd Apple Watch - what kept me in the AW universe for so long was the ease of listening to Apple Music while working out, something you're not going to be able to do with the Garmin because Apple Music is protected...I almost returned the Garmin once I figured that out but after digging into & becoming more familiar with the health features of the Garmin I'm glad I didn't. The Garmin is data rich & more accurate than my AW which always gave me poor VO2 max readings & coul...

Great watch and features
I had an apple watch for a long time. Battery on the apple only lasted 2 days the Garmin goes for days. The app's are easy to use and the map on the watch is pretty cool. I got the watch because of my running habits and it keeps me in pace on my running. This is a watch to buy and the cost of it is great.

Does exactly as advertised
Does everything I need and works well! Used in triathlon training and racing. Sleep function works well. Sometimes music lags. Training details are accurate and work well.

Beautiful watch HR not accurate
The watch is very beautiful, and very nice for the regular day. For me personally, when I do my bike training, 95% of the time, the watch can't read my heart rate. It's just stays around the 65 RHR doesn't matter how hard I work.
From Garmin
Awesome watch
Wrist is always the most convenient HR monitor, the customizable faces and multi data field apps are great. Integration with Strava is very cool. I haven't managed to figure out how to set long-term pace goals. The ability to set, mangae and work through custom programs for longterm goals would be a good addition. As would Apple Music integration.

It si not what's I want.
I was looking for a touchscreen monitor and it is not what I wanted. The business did not provide the correct features

I bought this in July 2023 and I’m still wearing it six months later. I love it and still gives me the most accurate data I would ever need. I ran a half marathon in it with the brightness at 100% with dual band frequency GPS on, and it only drained 13% battery life. Totally recommend it!!!
