Perfect for a busy mom!

I received this on Mother's Day after much research. I couldn't've been happier with it, even if I had not researched and had such high expectations! The female-centered aspects (the size, the cycle tracking, the pregnancy mode) are all so well thought through. This, coupled with the ability to get notifications and answer phone calls, have been so helpful in my day-to-day as a mom of small kiddos. I can receive texts while swimming or running with the bike. It reminds me to take it easy some days when I let the stress get to me or the girls keep me up late. And on top of this - it's really freakin' cute.

Top value Garmin fitness watch
on August 30, 2024

Very happy with this model. Super lightweight and low profile, but still great screen visibility and all of the features I'd expect a top training watch to have. No maps and no advanced cycling stats (e.g. normalized power, kJ work) is my only complaint.

Upgrade from 45S
on October 10, 2024
Posted by: Beth255S
I bought this about a month ago to replace my 45S which had the classic watch band issues (it broke at the attachment point, which I repaired with super glue 2x, but then the opposite side began tearing at the buckle holes, so immanent failure there as well). It is definitely an upgrade. At first glance, the band itself seems more robust; thicker and the attachment points are the traditional bar instead of 2 screws. There are much more options for recording workouts, and it is much better at automatic recording activities. It counts my floors, which the 45 did not. It connects to GPS faster than the 45, and has a longer battery life. However, my ego is a little bruised because it is much more accurate and believable with the estimated fitness age! I am enjoying the added Garmin Coach features, beyond the basic race prep that the 45 offered. The sleep metrics and body battery are also more detailed and offer more suggestions. Overall, very pleased with the upgrade.

Excellent Product - Exactly what I was looking for

I bought my Forerunner 255S last month and I love it! It's been easy to personalize (I'm a runner and cross train). The features and graphics are really good, yet it's easy to navigate. I really appreciate it's long battery life.
