Customer Ratings & Reviews

Easily the best running watch I have ever used. Very easy to use. The GPS is spot on. The battery life is waaaay better than an Apple Watch, which my wife has and is always charging it. I probably charge my watch every 2 weeks.

Great watch! Awesome features like VO2max, sleep rating, body battery, and long lasting battery life. I’ve had mine for almost a year now and it’s held up great.

I've owned Garmin watches for 15+ years. I bought this watch for a friend that accomplished a big achievement. This is after he was admiring this same exact watch that my wife bought me a few months back. This watch is nothing short of great. I wear it at all times and use the sleep tracker/body battery daily. When working out, I mostly use it for running -- tracking time, distance and v02 max. The UI is easy to navigate and it comes with a ton of apps + the ability to add more if that's your interest. In my opinion, this watch is worth every penny. If you purchase it, do yourself a favor a buy a screen protector!

Bought this watch to help track my progress in the gym and throughout the day. Works great and is very accurate. Battery life lasts 5-7 days. Very durable without a scratch on the screen. Very happy with the purchase

Amazing. I got it for my husband for his birthday. He loved it. He has been wearing it for 2 years.

Does everything I need long battery life nice looking accurate gps. Large enough to see while mtbing. But not too bulky. Favorite mtb watch. Works great for answering calls while riding.

I will preface this review by stating that this watch is great for those looking for a watch that is 90% fitness 10% watch. If you are looking for something that is more smartch watchie than fitness or even 50/50 fitness watch this is light on anything outside of fitness. Amazing watch for those that love to run. The comprehensive running coaches help set a plan for your fitness goals. My wife loves the watch and is using it to train for a 5k. I highly reccomed this watch for those looking forna true fitness watch.

I've been wearing the Forerunner 255 for five weeks. I customized the "Activities" tracking I need and the health monitoring data I use, including sleep quality and VO2 level. It even gives weather alerts and evaluates your distance and pace for running and biking. I have bumped it on objects many times but it doesn't have any scratches on the face. There is a learning curve to use it, but it's worth taking the time to learn what it can do. It can be used for swimming, but not for scuba diving.

Nice watch for runners. Not sure if it’s perfectly accurate but much more accurate than Strava or other tracking apps on a phone alone. So much lighter and more comfortable compared to the fénix 7 I had. Battery life is great. 100x better than Fitbit or Apple.

My Forerunner has been amazing for helping me train. Every morning I get a summary of my data, and with the Garmin Connect app I can see everything in detail. Such a great device for anyone interested in increasing performance, but also great for people new to running.

Excellent product, very good quality, and it gives me the exact information

The battery works as expected, a significant amount of time. works as expected and great tracking.

A little bit complicated to get trough if you are a beginner but it is so exact and precise with the data given that I can surely say this has been an amazing purchase as someone who is starting a running journey

Great Watch with a great battery life.. I will say there are a few metrics like body battery that didn’t seem to be accurate as it would tell me to rest more when I’d already rested a few days and got accurate sleep.. the steps were also slightly inconsistent especially if you weren’t swinging your hands (ie using a shopping cart).. but all the other metrics were pretty great like the mileage was very consistent on my runs..the watch was extremely comfortable as well even to wear at night..

I was always so enamored by the flashyness of an apple watch that i completely looked over the garmin watches. I have the forerunner 255 and i love it. Its simple, easy to use, looks sharp and the best best best best part is THE BATTERY LAST ALMOST 2 WEEKS ON 1 CHARGE. I wear it all the time so its always tracking vitals and lets me know when i need to recover or rest. 10/10 watch. Im getting ready to get my fiance one.

Love the watch and all its features. Stays charged well and very durable!

I used to use an Apple Watch and didn’t love its fitness capabilities. This watch however is quite literally perfect for me. For reference, my main sport is running and it’s super simple compared to the Apple Watch. Just press a button and it’s recording your run, the pace split comes up and I can constantly check in on my heart rate. Happy there’s no touch screen and that I got a discount on this because the 265 just came out.

This watch is an awesome investment for anyone looking to get into fitness and starting their health journey! I highly recommend! It’s tracks pretty much everything you could ask for and provides me with a lot of amazing stats to review after my workouts. Battery like is amazing as well! Overall an awesome smartwatch !

Bought this for my brother who is an avid runner and athlete. The features on this watch is incredible as well as the battery life! It lasts him several days with constant and consistent use. Definitely worth the price

Works smoothly with all the training options, good GPS, confortable and very light
