I've had the watch for a month, and I'm very happy with it, because it adapts exactly to the physical activities I do, and since it syncs with the IPhone it's excellent!

Takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'

Seems like I never hardly have to charge this watch! It easily runs a week before I have to do anything and that's with numerous workouts. I'm not easy on watches as they get dunked, hit and knocked around. This guy doesn't seem to mind as it never misses a beat.

This Forerunner 255s was an upgrade from a previous forerunner. I wanted something for triathlons and longer battery life. My previous watch didn't last through my 70.3 (granted I am a back of the pack kind of racer) So far I like the 255s, it has a lot of features that my 45 did not. I have not used it during a race yet.

Clear display and loads of features.

I replaced my old Vivoactive HR3 with the Forerunning 255S. While I have been given the gift of more features, I do miss the touch screen. The buttons nor system are overly complicated so learning the features and which buttons control what feature is easy. I love the bright display and the colors are fantastic. What's most astonishing to me is how light weight the watch is compared to my Vivoactive. I'm glad for the upgrade and like the additional features on my Connect app.

Love the features not the look and screen quality

I got my forerunner for Christmas after I have been running consistently for about 3 years with fitbit. I love all the functions that it has that I haven't had a chance to utilize before like planning your own trainings and buzzing at you when you're not going according to plan. That said, I am not a huge fan of the look as it is very "plasticky" but not in a outstanding way, more like boy's watch from the '90. Also the screen resolution is dissapointing. I wish I knew it was that bad and upgrade to amoled screen....

Could be better

I love the color. It’s great for running but having to add cycling and walking was a bit difficult to set up. I still can’t figure out how to add a HIIT class.
