Have had mine for about 8 months now. Very user friendly. So many different features and so much data provided after during and after each activity!

Battery life is fantastic. Watch can take some getting used to with the tons of features, but if you're savvy or just take your time, you'll have it humming in no time!

Activity and health tracking for weeks at a time

The Forerunner 255 makes a great multi-sport activity tracker. I use it primarily for running, hiking, biking, and tracking reps/sets in the gym, and the 5-button controls are more than adequate once you get used to them. While you cannot type/send texts, you can read received messages and preview emails. I love the health tracking features including heart rate monitoring, sleep quality, daily steps/stairs climbed, and metrics relevant to running condition like VO2 max, exercise load, and recovery time. The battery lasts for about two weeks from full charge, and charges quickly. With the Forerunner 255, I can focus more on health/activity tracking rather than constantly worrying about my watches battery life, and I highly recommend it for runners and health conscious individuals alike.

Has all of the information I am looking for, and much more. New watch connects much easier.

This watch is hands down the best option currently on the market.

This watch is hands down the best option currently on the market. It's compatibility with Strava, long battery life, and stats make it a great support for any athlete, but especially for those looking to start taking their training just a bit more seriously. Those looking to really dig deep into stats would likely benefit from one of Garmin's more high end option but the Forerunner will be all most runners need, with the ability to branch out into other sports without needing to upgrade.

Exactly what I was wanting

Great tool for keeping track of my heart rate for base training, very easy to operate and the ability to listen to my music from the watch is very handy. I was a little skeptical not ever having a device like this but if you're wanting a watch to track training activities and monitor your heart rate wit out breaking the bank I would highly recommend this device. If my running shoes go on so does this watch.

The watch is great for hiking, running, and biking, but doesn't track swimming at all (I.e., time and distance)
