    Great smaller watch!

    5 out of 5 stars
    Janniewalt - 15 days ago

    Full disclosure: I have not used this watch in training YET. I bought it right after I had surgery for a femoral hernia, and I have not started training again yet. I race sprint triathlons and compete in martial arts. This is a smaller watch for a smaller wrist, and I love the way it fits. The screens are very customizable, and I have set up the data fields to be ready when I start training again. I bought a nylon wristband. It stays wet for a couple of hours, so if you do a lot of swimming or sweating, you might prefer the silicone one that comes with the watch. I had used a Garmin Forerunner 735xt, which was a great watch, except it did not have Grade Adjusted Pace capabilities and this one does. I had bought another brand of watch in between, and when it started malfunctioning, I came right back to Garmin. This is a great watch for a serious amateur athlete!

    I had a Garmin 245 for 3 years and the battery started to not last. I upgraded to a 255. after one day and a 20 mile run my battery already drops to 60%. I also have tattoos on my wrists and the HRM does not work AT ALL. I’ve tried it every way, even with the watch face facing in, it just doesn’t give me accurate stats.

    I purchased the Garmin Forerunner 255S to replace my previous model Forerunner 225. This model has new features and capabilities that my last watch did not. I like the size of the screen and ease of programming. I enjoy the summary each morning and the recommended exercise prescription. I enjoy the wide range of exercises I am able to track.

    This was gifted to me for Christmas. As an upgrade to my VivoActive 4. I thought I would miss the touch screen, and some moments I do, but all of the other features outweigh the rest. It truly is teaching me things I didn’t know and really helps me focus on what matters either in my run or recovery. Not to mention the batter lasts forever!

    Upgraded from a Fitbit Versa 3. Many more features and more of a learning curve. YouTube videos were very helpful. Really like the ability to create custom workouts

    I'm 6'0 tall and 180lbs, but I self admittedly have dainty wrists. I was torn between buying the regular 255 vs 255s, but went with the 255s and I'm glad I did. Loving the watch so far, great functions, very accurate GPS, and it feels great on my wrist.

    Overall I like the watch a great deal. Smarter looking than the 45. Still exploring all the features. I enjoy how it maintains the charge much longer. Some minor constructive critiques: The fonts for the numbers from a run are hard to read since they're small. Perhaps reposition or get rid of some of the less important statistics to open up the screen more. And after the run, don't need to see the two questions about how hard the run was and how satisfying it was. I want to go right to the Save! Can these questions be bypassed?

    I bought my Forerunner 255S last month and I love it! It's been easy to personalize (I'm a runner and cross train). The features and graphics are really good, yet it's easy to navigate. I really appreciate it's long battery life.

    Upgrade from 45S

    5 out of 5 stars
    Beth255S - 4 months ago
    originally posted on Garmin
    I bought this about a month ago to replace my 45S which had the classic watch band issues (it broke at the attachment point, which I repaired with super glue 2x, but then the opposite side began tearing at the buckle holes, so immanent failure there as well). It is definitely an upgrade. At first glance, the band itself seems more robust; thicker and the attachment points are the traditional bar instead of 2 screws. There are much more options for recording workouts, and it is much better at automatic recording activities. It counts my floors, which the 45 did not. It connects to GPS faster than the 45, and has a longer battery life. However, my ego is a little bruised because it is much more accurate and believable with the estimated fitness age! I am enjoying the added Garmin Coach features, beyond the basic race prep that the 45 offered. The sleep metrics and body battery are also more detailed and offer more suggestions. Overall, very pleased with the upgrade.

    Top value Garmin fitness watch

    Very happy with this model. Super lightweight and low profile, but still great screen visibility and all of the features I'd expect a top training watch to have. No maps and no advanced cycling stats (e.g. normalized power, kJ work) is my only complaint.

    I received this on Mother's Day after much research. I couldn't've been happier with it, even if I had not researched and had such high expectations! The female-centered aspects (the size, the cycle tracking, the pregnancy mode) are all so well thought through. This, coupled with the ability to get notifications and answer phone calls, have been so helpful in my day-to-day as a mom of small kiddos. I can receive texts while swimming or running with the bike. It reminds me to take it easy some days when I let the stress get to me or the girls keep me up late. And on top of this - it's really freakin' cute.

    Expanded capabilities. Downloaded scenic watchmaker that adds lot of info on face. Very satisfied. Deal breaker for me over Samsung smartwatch was superior water resistance and longer lasting battery. Who wants something else to charge every night!

    I bought this a few weeks ago after my Sense just up and quit working. I refused to go back to Fitbit or Google products after they did us wrong. The Forerunner 255S is everything that I have wanted in a tracker/smartwatch. I wasn't planning on loving it to be honest, but I'm obsessed. The features are great! My only complaint is the appearance. I work in a professional setting and it isn't very pretty. That being said, the quality is beyond amazing and the connectivity compared to Google/fitbit is in a whole other realm. Definitely worth the cost, but I'm glad I didn't go for any of the others because I don't know that I would use any additional features. I love that I have the training, maps, tracking, music, etc.

    I purchased this watch over a month go and it was an upgrade from a 245. I love the additional features and the morning report it gives me. The satellite finder seems to be faster than in the 245, so I don't feel like I have to stand outside so long before the watch is ready to go. With the enhanced information technology, I feel like I get better recommendations for workout from the watch. I know I'm just getting to know all the capabilities on this watch and I look forward to learning and playing more with all it can do!
