Garmin Forerunner 255 Music GPS 46mm Running Smartwatch, Lightweight, Music Storage, Advanced Training & Insights, Safety & Tracking Features, up to 14 days Battery Life, Black

Upgraded from 235 and it's even better. Has lots more features, the GPS is improved and the screen is easy to see in daylight. Battery life is excellent, I only charge every 2-3 weeks. Looks very smart and I'm very happy.

My first Garmin watch and I love it. Especially the non touch screen..it took me an hour to get used to all the buttons and menus. But I've seen so many videos about Garmin so I already knew what I'm dealing with 😀. For that price is amazing watch for any kind of activities or even just as a normal good looking watch. All the smart things are bonus. Easy to transfer some MP3s and connect my earphones 🎧, and ready to hit the track or gym. Garmin connect app is great too with plenty of information.

Product received as advertised. Serial number checks out and product connects seamlessly to Garmin Connect, IQ, and Express. Honestly for the price, who wouldn't buy this watch? Has every possible feature I could hope for. Have cycled with it. Run with it. Walked with it. Swam with it. There's far more features available with it and although it's a "dated" watch these days, it is still very much a very good watch and worth the price. The vendor I bought from were very quick with the processing and delivery. Received the product in under 24 hours and was packaged in original materials.

Great watch, feature filled, Spotify on board, excellent battery, got at a great discount.

Only just started using it, but I already love my garmin forerunner. Easy to use, great training tips and stats, the battery lasts ages and it’s very comfortable to wear. The only thing I wish I’d known before buying was that you need a premium Amazon music or Spotify account to use it with the forerunner music, the free accounts are not compatible. You can download songs directly from your computer still so that’s something, but quite a faff.

I never owned any other watch beside the Forerunner 255 and the Forerunner 255 Music. The only differences between the two are the few extra features of the Music version: -storage space to save in your music, -a WiFi connectivity, which comes in handy for music apps and updates, -a yellow ring around the chassis instead of the red one. The only reason why I decided to upgrade to the music version is because, after a few years, I realised how better it is to not have to constantly carry the phone with me every single time I go for a run. If you ask me, the comfort is really worth the extra money! The main reason why I went for the Forerunner 255/255 Music is because if you care mostly about the GPS and you don’t want to spend a forbiddenly high amount of money, there is no better watch on the market still today, in 2025. Generally speaking, it has all the basic stats any sport tech minded would love to keep on eye on, for any possible activity. And, activity profiles are simply unlimited. There are so many, I don't even understand how a watch could even keep track of. I mean, what would you need a watch to track archery for?? The number of arrows?? I personally use it for walking, running and biking. As for anything Garmin, the style of the watch’s menus feel a bit outdated, particularly for the type of screen it has. It is an always-on, color MIP display which surely is practical, but absolutely ugly compared with an AMOLED. However, it is easy to use and very intuitive. You can swap the watch band with any 22mm one, a thing I did since I prefer the fit of the nylon bands. The only issue I found so far is the battery. I had to send back a few watches because the battery was draining way faster than what I would expect from an 11-14 days battery life watch. Overall, for the price it is one of the best watches worth the money out there.

Brilliant watch does everything I need and the battery last a long time.

Sent it back, my own fault for not researching properly. This watch has no touchscreen, only buttons to navigate. I just can't get on with a watch with no touchscreen, especially as I use it to listen to music while exercising and need to flit quickly through screens. Used Garmin for almost 10 years and never had one without a touch screen so just made the assumption it would have one. Be aware of this before you buy. Not for everyone.
