Works great, VERY user friendly
I have had this watch for over one year and love it. I wear it 24/7. The only time I do not wear it is when it is charging.It does everything I need it to when I am running. VERY user friendly, better than my Timex Ironman or Casio sport watches. My only complaint is the charge cord is short so I bought a pair of very long charge cords and keep one in my car in case I forgot to charge the watch at home.

Very happy with my upgrade.
Love this fitness tracker. I've been using it for about a week now, having switched from a fitbit Charge 4. The ONLY thing I liked better about the Fitbit is the altimeter in the charge was more accurate. The Garmin sometimes counts flights when I'm walking up a hill outside. My fitbit never did that. Other than that I love this garmin and am sorry I didn't upgrade to one sooner.

Best Garmin smartwatch + fitness watch!
I love the Forerunner 255S. Most importantly, the classic always-on screen is the best feature, and that's something they took away in the newer models. In the newer models, you have to pivot your wrist to get the motion sensor to turn on the display just to check the time, which is actually more annoying than you'd think. It's way more convenient to be able to see the time without doing anything unnatural.Secondly, I'd argue the lack of a touchscreen (compared to the Venu's) is actually a feature. When I bought this 2 years ago, I was coming from a touchscreen Garmin watch, and I was afraid I'd miss the touchscreen. I was wrong. The buttons are just as quick and easy to use, and if it's raining you can still use it, and most importantly if you're wearing a rain jacket, it doesn't randomly "touch" things on the screen (that would happen with my previous touchscreen watch when the rain jacket was wet and touching the screen).The battery life is ridiculously good, I only have to charge this like every 6 days and I use it for occasional 3 mile weekday runs and always keep it connected to my phone as a smartwatch for text messages. For longer hikes, the battery life is also ridiculously good. I'd struggle to find a reason to pay much more than what this watch costs, I think this watch is the perfect watch for 90% of people!

Producto nuevo, envío a tiempo
El reloj totalmente nuevo, la caja original en excelente estado. Lo pensé dos veces antes de comprar en un vendedor que no fuera directamente Garmin pero mi experiencia ha sido buena pues recibí el mismo producto que hubiera recibido si lo hubiera comprado en Garmin, solo que más rápido pues lo pedí el lunes y me llegó el viernes justo para usarlo para mi entrenamiento el sábado. Pude parearlo con mi celular y está funcionando perfectamente. Conforme pase el tiempo puede que actualice este review, pero hasta ahora muy satisfecha con mi reloj!!!!

Does the job
Seems to do what I want it to do, even syncs with my Concept2 rower! I also swim 25 yd laps at the gym with it and it measures them accurately. Pretty happy with it overall.

Great affordable watch for fellow runners
Excellent watch for marathon training!! I used to use Apple Watches but after my last marathon my battery was at 12% when I crossed the finish line(charged fully night before). I did not want to risk next race battery to die so I figured I’d give Garmin a shot. This has 12 days of battery life! So nice not having worry about charging every night after use. Everything this watch offers is near perfect accuracy with gps, sleep insight, heart rate, body battery and coaching. Great affordable watch!
