    I bought this garmin about a month ago, it's drable holds strong and does everything really well. I'd say it's only down fall is with open ocean swims. Sand gets stuck in between buttons and they will get stuck until you throughly clean the watch.

    I bought my original one a year ago and it made a huge difference in my running. So great, until about 13 months then the start button died out. No way to repair it, so I had to buy a new one, which is the one star ding.

    I am enjoying the 255. I have had a few Garmins. The last one I am upgrading from is the 35, which is a solid watch with all I needed- except the new safety features. As a mom running alone, I definitely want those safety features. Before the 35, I had the 620. That was a little too much for me, I never took advantage of all it had to offer. I am hoping that this one is the sweet spot. =)

    This watch has all the features that I need plus more. The price was fair. My only complaint is the dim screen. It needs to be a little brighter for my tastes.

    I've been using the forerunner 255 for about a month. Last time I had a Garmin it was several years ago. I appreciate all the improvements since then. The only thing I do not like is in running mode, when running longer than an hour the timer function looks odd. The hour is a miniscule size compared to the minutes and seconds.

    My Apple Watch was on its deathbed and I needed something that tracked sleep, my health and can be used during cycling. The Apple Watch was not as reliable for riding and the Forerunner 255 for the bill!

    This thing is amazing. Great during exercise. Very accurate pulse rate. The app calendar keeps tabs on my cardio for the week. This thing can tell when l get up to pee at 3 in the morning. Im conscious of my step count and walk more every day. I am no triathlete just a regular dad made better by using this tool. F255. Worth it for sure.

    Coming from a Fitbit Charge 3, I've been wanting a fitness tracker/watch that is accurate and precise with their readings. Did a lot of research on other brands and different Garmin series and finally decided on the Forerunner 255. Although this watch does not have touchscreen, it has everything I monitor and need for my health. It's been great, wanted to get more precise with my readings I actually ordered the Garmin HRM Pro Plus. All around I'm glad I got this watch!
