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.

    Great running watch with built-in GPS. Maybe it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the higher-end Garmin watches, but it still provides plenty of metrics.

    The last time I owned a fitness tracker/running watch was five years ago, and it was rudimentary by today's standards. The data geek that I am, I've loved both the workout and sleep tracking versatility this watch offers. A great value for money proposition, I very much appreciate what the 255 can do consistently well for how little I spent (relatively speaking). Only knock on it is a battery life that's a bit shorter than a week, but that can likely be managed by reducing screen brightness.
