Not as great as I was expecting

Posted by: EBeck
As a runner, I really wanted a watch that was easily synced to strava, had basic health metrics and had music available. Figuring out the music is a nightmare. Its the least user friendly watch Ive owned. Even with watching youtube videos it still is complex. The watch has major connectivity issues.

This is a great watch, I wear it daily and use it to tracking mountain and road bike rides. Battery life is much better than the 235 model I previously used.

The FR255 Music is a great middle range Garmin tool. The sleep monitoring, multi-sport capabilities, battery life and how it stands up to rough daily wear is amazing. The battery may not last as long as the enduro and it may not look as cool as the Fenix, but this watch does everything you need and as a bonus, stores music so you can run without taking your phone
