Garmin Forerunner 255

 

The Garmin Forerunner 255 is an excellent sports watch, which is reliable and full of the fitness features you most need.

Reliable fitness tracking ; Accurate health metrics ; Practical, lightweight design ; Good battery life

Few smart features ; Unspectacular screen

An excellent sports watch, which is reliable and full of the fitness features you most need. However it’s just for fitness fanatics, and won’t fit the bill if you want an all-round smartwatch.

Garmin Forerunner 255 review: A multi-sport marvel

 

Garmin's mid-range option in its popular Forerunner lineup promises small but meaningful updates. Is it a top sports watch to consider?

Garmin Forerunner 255 review

 

A review of the Garmin Forerunner 255 — Garmin's mid-range running watch that now has triathlon modes.

is also a fantastic running watch at a cheaper price point. If you already have the Forerunner 235 or 245, I’d say the new features make this worth the upgrade.
