5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to setup- Nice features
Great Smart watch- Looks good and does everything I need it to. Used for biking
5.0 out of 5 stars Gotta say, I'm a fan of Garmin again.
Years ago I got sick and tired of Garmin watch batteries failing after only a few months, and getting generally poor long term performance out of their watches. I switched to a Suunto Ambit 3 which lasted for... nearly a decade? Quite a while anyway. Then when that battery started to fail so I bought a Suunto Vertical. What an overpriced POS that turned out to be! So, lacking better ideas, I went back to a mid-priced Garmin. The 255 has been great. Battery life isn't really as long as advertised, unless I maybe have a bunch of features enabled that I don't care about but are draining the battery faster. Even so, I don't care, it lasts a couple days rather than X hours in one day, and that's good enough for me. The feature set is more than I need, it's reliable, it's easy to read in all light, the GPS tracks and HR averages are close enough for my purposes, and the charging cable actually connects and stays connected. No major complaints whatsoever.
5.0 out of 5 stars I want one!
I have another Garmin and got this for my son. He runs XC and track. This watch is very accurate, easy to use and has the best feature - you can see the text images! My vivoactive Garmin can't do that and when more people send images than texts, this is a very handy feature.
5.0 out of 5 stars This thing is next level!
The media could not be loaded. I really am enjoying this watch. I'll start off by saying it I used to have an Apple watch but no longer have an iPhone so I was looking for an alternative. I've used Fitbit and apple watches and feel they are accurate at tracking things like heart rate and GPS. This watch feels the most accurate out of both of those. The Garmin app isn't as pretty and easy to use as Fitbit but the quality and information is so much better. Also the customization of this watch is insane. From multiple backgrounds to the way you can set up what information you want to see during any given workout is awesome. As you can tell by my watch face there is a great amount of information just by looking at the first screen and more if you scroll around. This is the 46mm case size and I really think it's the perfect balance between being able to see the information and not being too bulky. Obviously the tranflective display is not as pleasing as an AMOLED display like and apple watch, galaxy watch, pixel watch, or Garmins own venu or epix watches but it honestly is not that bad. Also I've heard of bad backlight reviews on the Garmin watches where the screen looks washed out and blue when the backlight is on and I think I got a good one. It's almost been two weeks and I'm still at 67% battery life. I have yet to swim with the watch but it feels like good quality and the gps has been accurate on my runs. I was thinking of getting a Fenix 6 since they are much cheaper now but the features and less bulkiness of this Garmin Forerunner 255 sold me. The gray color is okay but I might end up going with a different band style and color in the future. The video taken with the backlight on is with the brightness at 20%. Take your fitness goals to the next level and get this watch!
5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice runner's watch.
Very configurable with a lot of activity and view options.
4.0 out of 5 stars Great Sports Watch
I started to take my fitness seriously and bought this watch mainly to track my swims and collect data. I chose the forerunner because had enough functionality to expand into other sports such as running and cycling. So far it has been extremely accurate in terms of counting laps, stroke count etc. I has only been off once by one lane and I swim about 3 times a week. And I haven't tried out the other sports functions.The band is nice and doesn't chaff, the 46mm size faces isn't too big on me, even though I have pretty small wrist for a dude. And the battery life is great. I went two weeks without charging the thing. I have been pretty happy with it and don't regret my purchase. My only complaint is the screen is pretty dim even when it is lit up. Though if you have a bigger budget I would recommend getting an upgraded model for a better screen. It is totally workable, but you get what you pay for.
5.0 out of 5 stars Garmin Forerunner 255
Seems to work better than my last Garmin watch. Great use of technology.
5.0 out of 5 stars Durable, great battery life
I’m hard on my watches. They do not get special treatment, it’s a tool that lives on my wrist 24/7. This watch has been extremely durable, the battery life is so long it surprises me when it needs a charge. I use it for fitness tracking and use the GPS feature once a week on a run. More GPS use will obviously shorten the battery life, but it lasts exactly as advertised. I enjoy the lack of a touch screen and it took little time to adapt from my original venu sq interface. Well worth the upgrade. I prefer this watch as the bezel is full height to the plane of the crystal and the glass is subsequently well protected as it is strong.
I cant ever go back
I have been a long time smart watch user, first purchasing a Samsung gear watch sometime in 2017. That watch was terrible, and I realized having notifications on my wrist is a TERRIBLE idea. I only wore that watch for a year or two before moving to the cheapest Fitbit in 2019 and then a fitbit Charge HR in 2021.The whole time I was with Fitbit I did not even realize they were subscription based, I had a free year with my first one and I got some extension on it although I cant remember why. With the Charge HR the subscription suddenly was only a few months.Using the Charge HR I started getting into running and tracking my runs, and the Fitbit NEVER looked the same as my phone by a wide margin, even with GPS supposedly on the device. My heart rate would fluctuate wildly and the data was not useful at all. Eventually my Charge HR subscription ran out and I practically threw the thing away that day.Garmin is awesome, accurate, well made, great battery life I could go on and on. For running or tracking any activity, its the best I have ever used by a long shot. I highly recommend this for anyone who is looking to up their fitness game and track long term health trends. The app was not the best but recently had an update and has (I think) a better layout which makes reading data easier.
Garmin Forerunner® 255 is more cost effective than 265
great deal good quality as in photo
El mejor reloj calidad precio de Garmin
Me parece que por lo que ofrece el reloj en cuanto a data y dinámicas de carrera está en un precio adecuado, ya que al mismo tiempo te brinda actividades multideporte que antes solo venían en relojes de gama alta.La construcción es superbuena (característico de Garmin), es fácil de utilizar y sobre todo da información de la vida cotidiana que si se les pone atención se le podría sacar mucho partido a este reloj.
Accuracy Issues
I like its design and style and that it has so many features. App is also very well designed, neat and nice, but it gives inaccurate readings for stress and BB. I think it considers just moving around as high stress. HR accuracy is good, but even sometimes it has problems with heart rate. My heart rate sometimes jumps to about 145, it shows on the watch, which is still helpful, but it doesn't register the same value on its app, maybe there's some issue with the app in this particular case but it has happened many times and even after updating the app. The battery lasts shorter than it displays on the watch, but I wouldn't worry too much about that if other things were accurate. It also sometimes misses counting floors. I especially bought this for those other features like body battery, HRV status, and stress. Otherwise, it's expensive.I had to return the watch and was expecting a new one in replacement, but Bolo said there's no replacement for it and the price has increased by $70 now. I purchased it for $330 and it's $400 now. They didn't offer price adjustment either.
Gamin Forerunner 255 English / Francais
My son wanted a smartwatch, and I had read many positive reviews.For his birthday, I bought a Garmin 255 Forerunner for him and myself. We would have the same watch and could compete against each other. However, after only 24 hours, I returned the watch immediately.Here's why:The credit card payment method is completely ridiculous. They only accept a few credit cards that no one has ever heard of in Canada.The image quality is comparable to a super VGA screen from the 1990s... Older folks will understand that it's mediocre.The Garmin IQ Store... There's not much that works and is representative of the advertised image. Moreover, you may encounter apps that crash and give you buggy "IQ!" scores... Good luck finding a solution. We contacted Garmin, and their response was: "Problem with third-party apps or update problem."Essentially, Garmin doesn't have an agreement with Canadian banks, and the Connect IQ is like the Google Store but with few good options.However, I decided to keep the watch. My son was happy that we had the same watch, and he loves Garmin's features. After a weekend, I also found that I appreciated the watch's features, and it perfectly met my initial goal: to motivate each other to push ourselves, at a reasonable price, without the unnecessary gadgets that only drain the battery.So, quality-price ratio 5/5 for athletes.Gadgets: 1/5Big disappointment: Claiming that the watch has the "Garmin Pay" touch payment mode when it is REALLY limited to almost none.Francais:Mon fils voulait une montre intelligente et j'avais lu beaucoup de commentaires positifs sur les différentes montres Garmin et Samsung.Pour son anniversaire, j'ai acheté une Garmin 255 Forerunner pour lui et moi. Nous aurions la même montre et nous allons pouvoir comparer nos stats l'un à l'autre. Cependant, après seulement 24 heures, je retournais la montre ASAP avec une grande déception.Voici pourquoi :1- Le mode de paiement par carte de crédit est complètement ridicule. Ils n'acceptent que quelques cartes de crédit que personne n'a jamais entendu parler au Canada.2- La qualité de l'image est comparable à un écran super VGA des années 1990... Les plus âgés comprendront que c'est médiocre.3- Le Garmin IQ Store... Il n'y a pas grand-chose qui fonctionne et ou qui soit représentatif de l'image proposée. De plus, vous risquez d'avoir des applications qui plantent et vous donnent des "IQ!" bugs... Bonne chance pour trouver une solution. Nous avons contacté Garmin et leur réponse était : "Problème avec les applications tierces ou problème de mise à jour".En gros, Garmin n'a pas d'accord avec les banques du Canada et le Connect IQ est comme le Google Store mais avec peu de bonnes options.Cependant, j'ai décidé de garder la montre. Mon fils était heureux que nous ayons la même montre et il adore les fonctionnalités de Garmin et moi après un week-end, j'ai aussi découvert que j'appréciais les fonctionnalités de la montre, et qu'elle répondait parfaitement à mon premier objectif : nous motiver mutuellement à nous dépasser, à un prix raisonnable, sans les gadgets inutiles qui ne font qu'épuiser la batterie.Donc qualité prix 5/5 pour les sportifsGadgets: 1/5Grosse déception : Prétendre que la montre a le mode touch payment « Garmin Pay » quand elle est VRAIMENT limitée à presque nul.
