I have used my Forerunner 255S. Since the last software update about 2 months ago it has not worked.I have reset it and done all the troubleshooting, but it keeps freezing after a short amount of time. Complete unusable and I am very disappointed because it was great while it worked!
Great watch for running

I love the small size of the watch for having a smaller wrist. I wish it had some of the more advanced features but for the price this is exactly what I needed! Really enjoying the Garmin Coach plans as well.

After years of buying cheaper "smart" watches and sports trackers to have them fail to deliver on many different functions and aspects, I finally took the leap and purchased a true smart/active watch. While pricier than my previous purchases, this thing is a homerun! The GPS is incredibly accurate, the customizable displays are great to tailor to my desires, and the various functions allow me to track my activity, sleep, stress, and other physiological markers throughout the day and over time. Absolutely love this watch, it's not going to be replaced any time soon!
Very Happy

This watch is great for tracking my fitness progress and goals. Took me some time to figure out the settings and how to manage the notifications. I do not like that I need to have two different apps (Connect & IQ) downloaded on my phone in order to customize my watch. Overall happy with this purchase though.

I had the Garmin 55 and wanted more training features and more workout options, since we do a lot of hiking and I feel that is a different enough workout from a walk to warrant its own category and this watch DELIVERED! It’s super lightweight, smaller than my previous, but more screen space. The buttons are easier to manipulate and the battery holds up so much better! The in-workout stats I can view are superb and I can’t wait to get more into my training to see how I improve.
Great smaller watch!

Full disclosure: I have not used this watch in training YET. I bought it right after I had surgery for a femoral hernia, and I have not started training again yet. I race sprint triathlons and compete in martial arts. This is a smaller watch for a smaller wrist, and I love the way it fits. The screens are very customizable, and I have set up the data fields to be ready when I start training again. I bought a nylon wristband. It stays wet for a couple of hours, so if you do a lot of swimming or sweating, you might prefer the silicone one that comes with the watch. I had used a Garmin Forerunner 735xt, which was a great watch, except it did not have Grade Adjusted Pace capabilities and this one does. I had bought another brand of watch in between, and when it started malfunctioning, I came right back to Garmin. This is a great watch for a serious amateur athlete!

I had a Garmin 245 for 3 years and the battery started to not last. I upgraded to a 255. after one day and a 20 mile run my battery already drops to 60%. I also have tattoos on my wrists and the HRM does not work AT ALL. I’ve tried it every way, even with the watch face facing in, it just doesn’t give me accurate stats.

I purchased the Garmin Forerunner 255S to replace my previous model Forerunner 225. This model has new features and capabilities that my last watch did not. I like the size of the screen and ease of programming. I enjoy the summary each morning and the recommended exercise prescription. I enjoy the wide range of exercises I am able to track.
Great watch for a variety of activities

This was gifted to me for Christmas. As an upgrade to my VivoActive 4. I thought I would miss the touch screen, and some moments I do, but all of the other features outweigh the rest. It truly is teaching me things I didn’t know and really helps me focus on what matters either in my run or recovery. Not to mention the batter lasts forever!
Lots of features

Upgraded from a Fitbit Versa 3. Many more features and more of a learning curve. YouTube videos were very helpful. Really like the ability to create custom workouts

I'm 6'0 tall and 180lbs, but I self admittedly have dainty wrists. I was torn between buying the regular 255 vs 255s, but went with the 255s and I'm glad I did. Loving the watch so far, great functions, very accurate GPS, and it feels great on my wrist.
My review.

Overall I like the watch a great deal. Smarter looking than the 45. Still exploring all the features. I enjoy how it maintains the charge much longer. Some minor constructive critiques: The fonts for the numbers from a run are hard to read since they're small. Perhaps reposition or get rid of some of the less important statistics to open up the screen more. And after the run, don't need to see the two questions about how hard the run was and how satisfying it was. I want to go right to the Save! Can these questions be bypassed?

I bought my Forerunner 255S last month and I love it! It's been easy to personalize (I'm a runner and cross train). The features and graphics are really good, yet it's easy to navigate. I really appreciate it's long battery life.

La grosseur et le style de la montre me permettent de bien l'agencer à des vêtements de la vie de tout les jours. À la suite d'activités physiques, je dois enlever le bracelet parce que le matériel utilisé + la sueur me cause de l'irritation. Cet article est pratique pour tout le monde, puisqu'il y a une multitude d'activités pour tout les niveaux. Sur ma montre, les distances sont en km/h, mais sur l'application Garmin, il m'est impossible de changer les distances de mph à km/h.
