Customers are saying

Customers often highlight the exceptional battery life and accurate GPS capabilities of the Forerunner 255 GPS Smartwatch. Many appreciate its durability and the comprehensive sleep tracking features. Positive feedback also mentions the watch's lightweight design and the range of available functions. The lack of a touchscreen, while noted by some, did not appear to be a significant drawback for most users.

    I am a runner and recently converted from a popular fitness/smartwatch brand that I used for 10 yrs. The Garmin FR255 is miles ahead! Very pleased with the exercise details and accuracy. The daily recaps and graphics of a multitude of health data, as well as the gps and run data is spectacular! The app works extremely well and is somewhat customizable. The Watch seems durable, looks great and has fantastic battery life. Wish I had bought this brand years ago!

    The watch is great for running, biking, and doing any activity. It tracks your progress. Works great! Better than the forerunner 45. Battery lasts a long time, didn’t need to charge it for a week.

    Big fan of Garmin Watches. Been wearing them for 15 years now, and wouldn't trade them in for anything. This watch ticked off some needed things, such as the triathlon option and I'm able to use it to replace my WHOOP. I'm still learning the ins and outs of the watch, but it is, for the most part, easy to navigate.

    Did my research for a bit. But found this watch to be just what i needed! Tracks my workouts, calories burned and even my sleep! The partner app you get access to has given so much insight to the way my body works.

    Not for Apple users

    It’s OK. I sold it for less than when I paid for it because my Apple Watch is so much better. If you have iOS or a iPhone, then you’re not gonna enjoy having that.

    Great watch for running metrics. If you are looking to run faster,farther, or more efficiently this watch is great. Sleep metrics also give good data on sleep stages. Battery life is also good lasting about 19 days.
