Perfect for fitness
on March 26, 2025
Posted by: Megan L
This watch is great for tracking my fitness progress and goals. Took me some time to figure out the settings and how to manage the notifications. I do not like that I need to have two different apps (Connect & IQ) downloaded on my phone in order to customize my watch. Overall happy with this purchase though.

Lightweight with excellent capabilities for tracking running, all outdoor endeavors, and daily living metrics such as HRV and strain/stress.

I wasn’t sure at first because the face is smaller than I am used to, but once I got used to it I am loving all this little watch has to offer!!

A whole new ballgame!

After years of buying cheaper "smart" watches and sports trackers to have them fail to deliver on many different functions and aspects, I finally took the leap and purchased a true smart/active watch. While pricier than my previous purchases, this thing is a homerun! The GPS is incredibly accurate, the customizable displays are great to tailor to my desires, and the various functions allow me to track my activity, sleep, stress, and other physiological markers throughout the day and over time. Absolutely love this watch, it's not going to be replaced any time soon!

I love the small size of the watch for having a smaller wrist. I wish it had some of the more advanced features but for the price this is exactly what I needed! Really enjoying the Garmin Coach plans as well.

I have used my Forerunner 255S. Since the last software update about 2 months ago it has not worked.I have reset it and done all the troubleshooting, but it keeps freezing after a short amount of time. Complete unusable and I am very disappointed because it was great while it worked!

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.
