Great watch
My old Forerunner 235 broke, so I go this newer model, and it’s great. Many more features. I especially like the Garmin Pay feature. Battery is pretty good, too.

Excellent Fitness Watch
I bought the Garmin Forerunner 255 as an upgrade to my Forerunner 245 and it is just what I wanted. Improved accuracy in the GPS, more handsome watch face, more features in the app (sleep score, HRV balance), and better battery life. Very happy with it.

Met expectations and more
I was looking for an update from my old Forerunner 735xt, and I came across the 255. It had the few additional features that I was looking for such as the PulseOx, running Training Plans, and touchless pay, and it was also affordable compared to other garmin watches. The feel and look of it are also significantly nicer than the 735xt.
