lots of features, long battery life
on April 12, 2024
Posted by: akfishgirl
I bought this watch about a month ago deciding to give it a try. The sleep monitoring is fascinating and so far it tracks all the activities I do (running, treadmill, elliptical, ice hockey). I was surprised to even use it on a treadmill and the distance on the watch matched the treadmill! I love the smaller face size for my small female wrist though the thickness can get caught on tight sleeves. The battery lasts me over a week without recharging doing normal activities and a 4 tracking exercises per week. I have not used the music feature yet, but intend on installing soon for those longer runs.

Enjoying my new Forerunner 255S
on April 13, 2024
Posted by: RunnerEB
I've only had my Forerunner 255S for a few weeks, but I'm really liking it. It's lighter than the other Garmin watches I've had previously, and it recharges much faster. I like the "good morning" report on the watch, and the summary in the evening. Even the buttons have a better feel to them, and the notifications can include pictures. I haven't used all of the features this watch has, but so far so good!

I bought about three weeks ago and it’s been great so far. I’m working through a half marathon plan and I love how it adjusts week by week.

Huge upgrade
on May 29, 2024
Posted by: AliNM
I upgraded from a Forerunner 235 to the 255s and can't believe the improvement. The watch fits my wrist better, the GPS connection is significantly faster, battery life is longer, and most importantly, I can listen to music without my phone. Set up was a breeze and I'm still playing around and learning all the new features. I'll be keeping my 235 as a back-up but the 255 is quickly becoming my daily watch.

Good for regular running stat tracking and trainin

I've been using this for about a month and I'm happy with the watch. GPS is a lot more accurate so is my heart rate and other stats. It syncs my Runna training plan and notify me when I'm not in pace range. I'll consider buying a Fenix when I get more into trail running

Just love it. I still don’t use all the features as I am still figuring out what it can do! It’s easy to use and buttons are easy to manage. So far, absolutely awesome!

Light, Compact, and Packs a Punch!

I've had this watch for a almost 2yrs and love it! It can show me all the data that I need and isn't bulky. Battery life is great for being such a small watch. It easily gets me through 3+ hr training sessions and just got me through the Chicago Marathon with plenty of life to spare.
