Started with the instinct 2 thinking I was going to absolutely destroy my first smartwatch but was not happy with the inability to listen to music through it as well as the limitations with the screen. Got ahold of the forerunner 255 music and love it. Everything I need without being distracting. 500 s o no memory was a huge plus and battery typically lasts me 2.5 days before I've gotten near the danger zone. Typically before then I charge it while washing dishes and I'm good to go again. Excellent first smart watch.
Great features!

I had a Garmin 245 and decided to upgrade to the 255. The 255 has better navigation to use some of the features that were more difficult to access on the 245. There are several features on the 255 that make this watch more useful. Still waiting for Garmin to make a watch with cellular capability.
AMAZING WATCH

Been using it for weights, running, and skiing and it does all of those amazing. Most of it seems pretty accurate and I really annoy the music storage.
Love it, great update from Forerunner 645 Music!

I got the 255 about a month ago and have loved it. It's a great way to step up your fitness. You are really able to dial in your workouts and recovery periods. It's a great fitness coach for a small price.
I love this thing!

I got this about a month ago and I absolutely love it! It has great features and your able to break the data down way more than my Fitbit. This is also a lot more realistic and accurate when it comes to step counting and calorie counting.
Perfection!

I replaced my lost Apple Watch as I’ve started running in my retirement. Love that I can leave my phone at home and still enjoy my music. I’m also loving all the health stats it provides. Hoping to use it to up my run training

I am still learning the features because winter weather forces most of my workouts indoors but I love the customizability of the face, the long batter life, the ability to track indoor bike and treadmill workouts, and sleep data.

The only critique I have is that it is not touch screen Other than that, this is a good watch! Does what I need it to do and so far has been easy to work with. I am going to upgrade to the 955 though to take advantage of the touch screen and more storage space for downloaded songs.

The main benefits of this watch are Bluetooth connectivity to phone AND headphones and the real time pace adjustments or guidance you can get while working out. The pace tracker is that main advantage I personally get out of this watch compared to an Apple Watch. Additionally, the ability to create workouts mile by mile, segment by segment and so on with the ability to set goals for each is something that puts this above the Apple Watch. I’ve seen improvements in VO2max and HRV and lowered my average pace. I think it’s mainly from having the ‘coaching’ tips in my ear as I run

The watch has worked great but I haven't used the music feature. Should have put the money towards the 265 and some of the features it offers. This is my mistake not Garmins. The 255m has worked great with the feature it offers.
The best of both worlds
