Menu navigation is a bit analogue. Besides that, perfect fitness watch.

GPS Watch is now a MUST
on October 2, 2022

I have no regrets about going for the smaller version of this watch; it fits my wrist much better. I run 25-30 miles most weeks and this watch was able to consistently keep track of my pace and the GPS connected much faster than on the 55. The watch has some features that are nice but not necessary (data points like VO2 max and pulse ox), so a beginner probably does not need to spring for the 255. The music feature is, in my opinion, overrated because you need a premium subscription for one of the compatible streaming services to download audio content on the watch, even podcasts which are usually available to download for free. Overall, it's a great watch that I don't regret purchasing and use every day.

Excellent watch, great battery life, huge number of features. I use this mainly as a daily watch, but the workout features for running, hiking, cycling are awesome.

I don’t know why the 255s music white got discontinued or sold out, but I sure am glad I found it! Upgraded from 245s.

After a full year of rigorous use, including numerous activities and accidental drops, this watch has consistently demonstrated exceptional durability and impressive accuracy, proving itself to be a reliable companion in even the most demanding conditions.
I would recommend this watch to any athlete looking to fine tune in their routine and effectively track their progress.
