Wore my forerunner 255 during my time in station. Durable, value for money and still comfortable under bunker gear. Don’t think you need anything specially rugged because it will be under ppe when doing most rigorous tasks, if a fire kills your watch then you’d probably be dead before that. Posted a

With Garmin watches, it is not that updates have new features or a new version of look and feel. (Only Fenix and sometimes high-end 9xx Forerunners sometimes get feature updates). One exception was the Forerunner 255 getting a slew of activities to match the 265 (which came very soon after the relea

Garmin Forerunner series. The 200 line will do just about anything he will ever need- the 255 (past season model) is really solid, the 265 has some upgrades but nothing I would find meaningful for a high schooler. If these are above your price point, check out eBay for a refurbished model. That will

Sorry na mess up yung formatting from the post but here: Hello, I recently lost my Garmin 255 and while looking for a replacement, I got curious about the Suunto Run. I’ve been using it for a month now and thought I’d share since I don’t see this a lot here. Mostly Garmin, Coros, or Apple Watch ang

Music option drains battery and the headphones need to also last. I'm a huge fan of my Forerunner 255 Garmin makes outstanding marathon watches. Everything you can think of is there

I have a garmin forerunner 255 and I love it. It has all the features you want, except the music (but they have a music version as well). You can create (and search for already created) routes in garmin connect (the app and website) and sync those with the watch and then use the route to go for a ru

Ich habe mir vor einem halben Jahr die FR255 Music für 250€ gekauft. Ich bin absolut begeistert. Die „Music“Funktion habe ich zwar noch nie benutzt/benötigt, aber ich kann Garmin nach einem halben Jahr weiter empfehlen.

Forerunner 255, just about three years old. My everyday watch, track several activities per week. Charge once per week (could easily go longer) to 100%. Last month ran a 50K in seven hours with 66% battery remaining (started at full charge)

I'd just like to second AirPods. Incredible product. When I switched to IOS the truly main thing I was excited for was them and they have not let me down. Garmin watches have lasted a long time as well. I'm not sure how many years it has been, but my wife has had the Garmin Forerunner 255 since its
