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.
