Garmin Forerunner 255 great watch.
Purchased 255 to replace 235 forerunner great improvements and battery holds charge for longer than original watch, control button layout make it easy to operate.
Buddy Guy –
Great sports watch
Bought it as an upgrade to Garmin 55. Works well and starts up much more quickly than the 55 (which was an excellent watch as well). It is my all the time watch as the smart aspects (messages and alerts) are useful.Just a bit tricky to set up all the watch screens to be personal – lots of button pushing!

Perfect Garmin if you like chunky
Absolutely love this watch, I had the forerunner 235 and wanted something similar. The 255 is perfect, chunky with a large face and exactly what I wanted. I have been looking for ages to replace my old my old Garmin. Really pleased x

Great watch for the price with impressive features
My 4 yo garmin 245 was getting on and required daily charging.I did a lot of research on mid level running watches and this one, for the price you pay, in my view is the best out there with a considerable number of health and performance related features.The latest forerunner model 265 is a lot more expensive, and who really wants or needs a touch screen anyway?

Impressed so far
Bought this as an upgrade to my Fitbit Charge 6 which had been a great starter watch but I wanted better data. Really impressed that you donât need to pay to use the features on the Garmin app. Seems to meet all of my needs but offers other sports in the future. Great value too. Just need to spend some more time working out all of the features now Iâve mastered how to navigate the basics. ok like the Garmin Coaching Plans too. Battery life looks brilliant and is holding up well. Really pleased with my purchase.

Save your cash
GPS never [ ever ] connects.. I’ve had it 6 months and use a 5 year old watch as that has GPS.. I’ve read Manuel.. I’ve had advice.. I’ve tried this n that.. it does not work.. Wasted £230 very upset !!

Hade en Forerunner 245 Music innan och denna är en bra uppgradering. Större urtavla men inte för stor, samt några nya bra funktioner. Batteriet är också bra, har kört 3 löprundor samt allmän användning och knappt 50% hade laddat ur på en vecka. Rekomenderar denna helt klart!

De Garmin Fenix Pro is de absolute top en een aanrader voor wie het kan en wil betalen. Als je het echter niet kunt of wilt is de Garmin Forerunner 255 een prima keuze. Ik heb deze al een tijdje en er zijn al opvolgers in de handel die niet veel meerwaarde hebben. Je hebt het voordeel van veel mogelijkheden en het horloge beschikt over zaken die de Garmin Forerunner modellen uit de series met de tientallen niet hebben. Die goedkopere series missen bijvoorbeeld de mogelijkheid om een gpx-bestand erop te zetten. Je kunt zo een route van iemand anders ook een keer lopen of kunt zo een parcours van een wedstrijd verkennen. Dat wil je toch niet missen lijkt mij of wil je soms ook nog op je smartphone kijken tijdens het lopen? Het instellen en bedienen van het toestel is best wel een dingetje. Het vraagt echt wat van je. De sporthorloges die TOMTOM vroeger had, waren veel eenvoudiger en intuïtiever in de bediening. Ik ken meerdere personen die het niet voor elkaar krijgen en ik regelmatig mag ondersteunen. Best jammer voor zo’n groot merk en speler. Daar is nog veel winst te behalen. Ben je niet van het doorgaan tot het eindelijk goed werkt of heb je problemen met zaken te leren en onthouden? Wellicht is het dan beter een ander merk en type te proberen. Kun je het wel? Spaar door voor een Fenix Pro of wees tevreden met dit mooie model.

A smart watch which can’t even measure the heart rate properly. The product has no warranty nor amazon able to give me resolution. Please don’t buy any products shipped from the global store as it has no or limited warranty
