Great features and battery life fr255

I bough this as a backup for the music version of this watch. I found I didn’t use the music as much as podcasts and audio books on Spotify. I now carry my phone. Easier for me to see.

Solid watch

Bought to replace an older Forerunner 945. I like that it is slightly smaller, and it has all the features that I used in the more expensive model. The main difference is battery life with this one - noticeably less. But, it works for a full day of recording an activity before needing recharge. I also like that this newer model tracks HRV.

Swimming data
on August 29, 2025

I've had my Garmin 255s for about 3 years. I am a swimmer. Recently, 3 times, it has counted swim calories an remarkable amount of 10 to 12,000 calories for a 2500 to 3000 yard swim!
I disconnected the phone and reconnected through the Garmin app. It works correctly for several weeks, then I have to repeat.
Also, it tracks my route when Hiking or walking, but also didn't record that data when I hiked 6 miles at the Grand Canyon in June.
It is accurate with my heart rate.
I'm open to resources, and kind suggestions. Thank you
