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 really have enjoyed this watch. I wanted something to track my runs with minimal smart watch features and this is it. I have the right amount of tech support and information without feeling the need to be on my watch constantly like I did with my apple watch. Only thing Im not the biggest fan of is that the screen feels a little outdated.
