Adapting to My Workouts:
Although labeled as a running smartwatch, it effortlessly fits into my diverse workout routine. Whether I'm hitting the gym, practicing yoga, or going for a nature walk, it tracks my progress with accuracy.
Feels Like Nothing:
The lightweight design is a game-changer. During workouts and even during sleep, I barely notice it's there, allowing me to focus solely on my routines.
Accurate Insight:
From heart rate monitoring to sleep tracking, it offers insights that help me tailor my workouts effectively and monitor my health data reliably and easily. Knowing I can rely on its data keeps me motivated.
Part of My Day:
Its sleek profile and customizable faces make it not just a workout companion, but an everyday accessory that reflects my style.
No Worries About Charging:
One thing I appreciate is its impressive battery life. It's a relief knowing I can wear it all day without needing to recharge constantly. For my use, it lasts 11 days before needing a charge. When It does need charging, it charges FAST!
In short, the Garmin Forerunner® 255S is more than a gadget; it's a personal fitness partner. It adapts to my routine, offers accurate insights, and feels like a natural extension of my active lifestyle. Whether I'm lifting weights or running errands, it's a constant companion that helps me stay on track and motivated. I highly recommend this watch!
Overall I find this a very useful watch for daily use, health/fitness tracking, and activity tracking. I like that I can manually pause it during an activity when stopped. I don't use the auto pause because it turns the tracking off when going slow.
Aesthetically this is the best looking of all the forerunner versions in both sizes; but on my wrist the large is too big and won’t track my wrist heart rate correctly because my bone doesn’t allow the watch to lay flat. The small looks too small for my wrist. :(
I didn’t realize how much it bothers me. I had to get a new Garmin when my was broken in a bad accident…. Along with a few of my bones… 😬.
I’m a bit disturbed by how much the too small aesthetics of the watch bugs me and wish I would have just bought another 245 because apparently aesthetics are more important to me that the altimeter and quick GPS pick up. 🤷🏻♀️

I’ve just started an adaptive training plan - can’t say mich about that yet other than I love the concept. It is odd to sign up for a training plan and not see the plan - you can only see the next few workouts as it will be adapted to your needs as you go. Looking forward to seeing how that goes.
Predictive paces seem fast. Maybe it’s right, would be nice. Will try pace pro in the future to see.
A few notes since this is a triathlon watch - no predictive paces for triathlons, seems to be only for runs and cycling races. No training plans for triathlons. I’m doing a run plan on tne 255 and a bike plan on the edge, but they aren’t integrated and don’t respond to one another. I’ll also be doing a cycling plan on Zwift and that’s just outside of this universe so I’ll have to manage that integration on my own. That’s all fine, but it will be interesting to see if / whether my run plan adapts to my fatigue or fitness changes from the cycling plan. Yesterday I had a gran fondo, which was on the garmin race calendar, yet it still told me to do an easy run as part of my run training plan. It should be easy for her watch to move that run knowing I had a long hard rice to do.
Bottom line - fit, comfort, style, and functions are all amazing. Great purchase, very happy.
Charging was fast. More importantly with my small wrist the size seems good.
