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 purchased the Forerunner 255 as a replacement to my 235, which I lost. The 255 has been a game changer for me as a newcomer to the Garmin ecosystem. The Garmin Coach, sleep, body battery, and multi sport features make this a very useful wearable device.
