Garmin Forerunner 255 Music, GPS Running Smartwatch with Music, Advanced Insights, Long-Lasting Battery, White

It’s a perfect runner’s watch. I love the MIP screen—-always on with superior battery life and daytime visibility. I am going to be so disappointed when this thing finally needs replacement and garmin only has amoled options with this functionality. Please garmin, keep a reasonably priced mip option for us!

The non Amoled screen is way better in bright sunny conditions. I only charge it once every other week. The Spotify compatibility is great. I swim with it in the pool and saltwater and it’s never had any issues. I use when skiing, which is fun. The heartbeat sensor seems to be very accurate and the steps counter is pretty good too. The training status seems to be very accurate and keeps me from getting burnt out. I’ve had it for over 3 years now and it’s going strong.

Are you tech challenged? Want a simple way to track activity right "out of the box"? This watch is IT! I LOVE the design...the graphics are BRIGHT AND LARGE enough to read at an arms length. The function buttons respond instantly! My Venu Sq face would fog up after every run making it hard to use functions. I have been running in 94%+ humidity and have had NO FOG!! I also love the LONG LIFE BATTERY! Wow!!

Great watch. Easy pick up for it

I upgraded to the Garmin forerunner 55 to the Garmin forerunner 255. I think this is a great stepping stone into the more advanced running world without dropping $1,000 on the newest watch. So far, great battery life, great new features, love the big watch screen, and accuracy is much better compared to the forerunner 55. Great purchase! Worth the money

Absolutely purchase. Life is too short not to be able to look back at all the amazing activites you recorded on your watch! I use daily for activites regularly exceeding 2 hours and charge once a week at max. Takes at most an hour to charge to max. Don't go anywhere without it!

I've had my Garmin 255s for about 3 years. I am a swimmer. Recently, 3 times, it has counted swim calories an remarkable amount of 10 to 12,000 calories for a 2500 to 3000 yard swim! I disconnected the phone and reconnected through the Garmin app. It works correctly for several weeks, then I have to repeat. Also, it tracks my route when Hiking or walking, but also didn't record that data when I hiked 6 miles at the Grand Canyon in June. It is accurate with my heart rate. I'm open to resources, and kind suggestions. Thank you

I’ve been using the Garmin Forerunner 255 since April 2024. As an active swimmer, this watch has been my daily companion for two years. I’ve always followed the maintenance guidelines, rinsing it in warm fresh water after every single pool session to prevent chlorine buildup. However, after exactly two years of use, the Start/Stop button has finally developed the dreaded 'sticky button' issue. It no longer has a tactile click and feels stiff compared to the other buttons. I’ve tried the recommended soaking and cleaning methods, but the issue remains. While the watch excels in tracking and software features, it's a bit disappointing that the hardware starts to fail after 2 years of careful use. It’s a solid device, but frequent swimmers should be aware of potential button longevity issues over time. I have strictly followed all maintenance guidelines, so it's frustrating to face this hardware issue. I would appreciate it if Garmin Support could reach out and help me resolve this, as I really value the brand and this device.

I returned this item cause it appeared to have been opened and retaped like a teenage kid would have done. Not professional at all. I paid for a new item, not one that had been sold and then returned. Refund was prompt as usual.

misrepresented the item for sale. the watch i received was refurbished the listing was advertised as new.
