This watch has everything I need! Long battery life. Health info. Weather. Navigation. Notifications. Best watch I have ever owned hands down!

I used the watch for 3 weeks, after which I returned it. It just didn't work out for me. I am a basic user, I run maybe 2 - 3 times a week, Sometimes I alternate that with going to the gym for strength training.
What I loved about the watch was:
- The battery time! I charged it once a week. and it only
takes about 45 minutes to charge.
The list of things I didn't like:
- It's not good for tracking weight training at all
- The interface is not intuitive in my opinion, and takes
about a week or so to get used to.
- I think its overpriced

I absolutely LOVE my Garmin Forerunner 255. It has so many features that you can't get with any other watch. I like that it creates recommended runs for you, based off of your running history and patterns. Highly recommend. Plus, the battery life is insane, I charge it like once a week.

I have been using Garmin watches for more than a decade now. I was confused about which models to buy, so spent good amount of time in research. This one had all the features that I needed. It has all the required features that runners need, but the best thing that stands out for me is long battery life in gps and non-gps mode. I am loving it!

Great product! I am 71 years old and no longer run but use this for tracking other things to stay healthy. Easy to use and read. Definitely more accurate than other trackers I have used.

watch battery is fantastic, does everything it needs to do, and is very durable. I work in a prison and hit it on every possible surface and no scratches or marks

Bought this for friend that never reads manuals and rarely figures out tech stuff in their own. Yet, they were able to use this running watch effectively without much difficulty.

Amazing watch! Great to record all exercise. Personally use it for running and it’s very accurate with its built in gps. Nice to not have to bring my phone on my runs and just be able to have my watch on! Definitely recommend

This is a great Fitness tracker and gives you good amount data to track and keep yourself fit. The battery life with moderate use is about a week which is not bad. However, you cannot adjust the fitness level you would want to operate at. The watch continues to ask you operate at a athletes level which may not be your goal.

I’ve been wearing this watch for about two months now as let me tell you it’s been quite the upgrade from the instinct! I absolutely love it. I did buy an aftermarket band as I didn’t really like the one that comes with it.

After using the Garmin Forerunner 235 for several years I decided to upgrade to the Garmin Forerunner 255. The display is amazing and the added available data and features is well worth the price of the watch. Si far it has been a great investment!! Let's go for a run!
I would recommend this to a friend

This is a great watch if you're look to purchase your first fitness tracker or a stepping up from that. I don't use it as a smart watch so I can't comment on that. The screen is bright enough in a ll conditions.

It's a great watch. Gave me warnings when I was tachycardic. It was just a little too fancy for my likings. Too many bells and whistles for me. The battery life could be better. And for someone with a very small wrist, the band was very pinchy. I ended up returning it.
