Love my Garmin Forerunner 255s!

I switched from an Apple Watch to Garmin and even though I’m an Apple gal, I have no regrets. It’s compatible with my iPhone, and has great features. I don’t really miss the Apple Watch touchscreen at all. Plus, the battery life rocks! I can take the Garmin camping for a week no problem. The only thing I wish I’d known is that it is not compatible with Bluetooth hearing aids. If I’d known that I wouldn’t have paid extra for the music feature.

I got this for a Christmas gift and oh do I love it! This watch has SO MUCH data and the more you wear it the more data it produces. It takes a bit for the watch to get to know you (about a month) so you have to be patient for a bit. The workouts are great because you can program them! You can program a run or a
HIIT workout which is probably one of the coolest features. I also think this is WAY more accurate than the Apple Watch I used to have. 10/10!

I have been using the Garmin FR255S for about a month now and it has SO many great features that I am still finding. The ability to listen to music without carrying my phone is wonderful. It has been extremely accurate for measuing distance, etc.

Once I worked out how to load music on to it and then work the volume it’s everything I needed
Love it do not need to carry an extra device for music
Nice and compact great product
Battery life is good as my last garmin was starting to run down faster

What a watch

Each upgrade of my Garmin has been at least one step up. This most recent upgrade (255S music) is amazing. I'm not a professional runner. Many have said I'm not even a runner as I run/walk, but i did finish my first marathon at 50 and plan on beating that time at 60. 255S music was purchased so that I could have music without having to have my phone. I chose the S size because I have a wrist of a 12 year old.
It's taking a while to get to learn it, but I love what I've learned so far! Here's hoping it will help me get to the finish line.
