So Much Better Than Fitbit!

The Garmin Forerunner 255S replaced my Fitbit Charge 5. I was a loyal Fitbit user for years, but numerous significant issues led me to search for a better product. I have had my Garmin for about a month and am absolutely loving it. My research paid off. The quality and quantity of data is SO much better and I receive helpful notices that assist me in increasing positive activities based on my readings. I previously logged my nutrition via the Fitbit app, but I switched to MyFitnessPal and was thrilled to discover that they can share my calories, etc. with Garmin. MyFitnessPal’s database and ease of use are far superior to the Fitbit app which frequently froze or shut down while I was trying to log my food intake. My only wish is that I had switched to Garmin years ago! I highly recommend Garmin and MyFitnessPal!
This watch has evolved so much over the past 10 years, and for the better. It has great battery life, it has a really simple interface and works exceptionally well. The smaller screen is nice. The GPS works great, and the seamless integration with my iPhone was a big plus. All levels of people will find it great to use.
Bought my first ever Garmin watch and I love it! I would say it pretty accurate for the mileage. Was able to link my Strava to it so no need to start both! I’m so happy I went with this and not an Apple Watch
switched from the Apple Watch to this and I will never be going back. The battery life on this watch is incredible. The accuracy of tracking my runs when compared to the Apple Watch is way better. It allows you to calibrate your watch to the treadmill which is a really nice feature.
I bought this one, after I returned the vivoactive 5. I absolutely am in love with this one. It’s all buttons but since it’s the S it’s not overly chunky and lots of easy to use features!
I bought this as an upgrade to replace my Forerunner 55. I wanted a wach that could display my blood sugar, and wanted more tracking features than my entry level Garmin. It provides tons of data - so much that I sometimes have to remind myself to get back to work! I am absolutely happy I made this purchase.
