Es inteligente, me enseña, me acompaña, me saluda, se preocupa por mi, me felicita; es mi mejor compañero a la hora de entrenar. Es excelente reloj!
Nunca había usado un Garmin y apenas llevo 3 semanas usándolo. La mejor inversión!

This product is everything I need for my fitness goals and my health goals. I have been hesitant to buy a wearable device, but I am glad I bought this because of the health stats and the ability to help me with my training. A big plus is the ability to turn off the bluetooth and wifi and only turn them on when I need them.
I highly recommend this if you are a health and fitness enthusiasts looking for a simple wearable device.

Great tracker!

It was difficult learning the Forerunner 255Music, after having an Apple Watch for years. After getting into running, I really appreciate the buttons over a touchscreen, especially when wearing gloves! I like all of the features which Garmin has placed into the 255, as a fitness tracker. Overall, I can do way more with my Apple Watch (turn off/on my home alarm, connect to my Apple music easily, more customizable watch faces, etc). For races, I will always choose Garmin, though!

Been using the watch for approximately 4 weeks now - initial reaction… great for what I use it for, but still learning all the additional features this watch has vs. my previous Garmin.

Awesome watch

I've had this watch for about a month. I am not an advanced runner but I can already tell that this watch gives me all of the metrics to become a better runner. I had a Forerunner 55 and a Forerunner 235. Those were great but this one is even better. Thank you.

Did not meet expectations
on February 19, 2023
Posted by: Nikos the runner
Based on online reviews i was expecting this to be an upgrade or at least match to my 5 year old fenix 5 xplus. Battery life and features were disappointing. Also the gps, even though super accurate has a little lag during running to updating your current pace. Very annoying. Also given native power is garbage, some of the options related to the. Stryde power meter are not available as they were in the fenix. I would rather use the stryde for pace but i havent figured how to enable this. Not sure if there is a software firmware glotch but in theory should be possible. The option in the menu is just missing currently.
Anyways for the price definitely a disappointment

Thought this was an upgrade from my 245 Music. Wish I had the 245 back

Good, not great
on February 21, 2023
Posted by: vanfelt
have not tried the music yet, as spotify was taking hours to download, but the watch works well. It does a good job with bike and run workouts....the metrics and data are nice and easy to read. the sleep data is great too. in the pool, not the best , not always accurate in pool swimming, even when pool length is set...and has not saved some swims...not sure if it does not handle water well???? But overall, does a good job
