Forerunner 255 is a good smart watch, it has all the functions I need. I especially love the haptic metronome for running. It vibrates and reminds me to follow the the target cadence. But unfortunately, I'm allergy to the rubber band. I searched around and didn't find an affordable hypoallergenic watch band. I tried a 3rd-party nylon band but it didn't help too much. Got rashes on both left and right wrists. It is said that FKM rubber is friendly to sensitive skin and I found some FKM rubber bands, but all of them are using steel buckle. Unfortunately again, I'm allergy to nickel, which is widely used in steel... Finally I decided to return this watch.

Easy to Use!
Recently purchased and still breaking it into my running schedule but so far it’s quite an upgrade from my old Garmin 225. Am very satisfied! It’s lighter, has a bit larger screen and more features at an affordable price. What more could you ask for in a basic running watch? No need for extra bells or whistles.

Loving it.
This is about my 5 Garmin and I think I like this one the most. I did have a 620 that was close to this one, but I like this one more. I am following one of the Garmin coach plans I I like that it is simple to pick a plan and it will adjust to my bodies feedback. I have 2 apple watches and one smart ring and now I don't wear any of them. I now use the garmin to track my sleep too.

Really like how it looks
It’s a nice looking watch. That’s the only positive thing I can say. It has way too many bells and whistles. The heart rate sensor rarely works even in combination with a Garmin HRM Pro Plus heart rate monitor. I have an Instinct 2 solar that works much better. I would not recommend getting this for tracking running data, but it is a nice looking watch.

Great
So im not a runner but you can still use this watch for other workouts and activities. I'm more of a biker and gym type person. I also walk as well. I just learned when someone sends photos. I can video it on my watch. It was excited because I didn't know! Overall I love this watch! It was an upgrade from the 55 I had. Yes obviously it was past time for me to upgrade. But I finally did it! Its bigger and way better than my forerunner 55. I am super happy with it. For me I love the Garmin App. I've met so many individuals from the app alone face to face them. People being in town and reach out from the app and we meet up! Obviously we are friends on the app so of course if you like each other stuff and comment and join each other challenges. You build a rapport with people. What I would like Garmin to do is. Make it to where you can reach out without the world knowing about it lol. Sure they so happen to be in town and realized hey I was over there running today. Let's meet up. So we had to communicate through the app but of course delete the message right after. So it would be cool to have a space that makes it easier to talk to your followers other than under a comment.

Perfect for me
After starting a new job and needing to k own the time quite frequently I picked up a tidal blue 255. I hadn't looked into it much but at its sale price I snagged it. So far its been absolutely awesome for both work and out of it. Hiking, running you name it its been a great companion

Battery life and perfection in tracking
Had Google and Fitbit watch was always getting bummed out that I had to charge 1 hr in morning to make sure I had enough juice for the whole day and night. This led to me forgetting it often in the morning. Pretty frustrating. This watch has an amazing battery life. Did a little trail blazing hike using the GPS. The battery wasn't even phased. Love it. Also good at tracking things other than just running. Has climbing, strength training AND racquet ball too. This watch tracking is one of the best. Looking forward to really opening up this watch with my active life style.
