As the owner of a previously used Garmin Forerunner 45, I am with the Forerunner 255 sports watch for its high level. excited. If the runner wants to improve and use the training functions, this watch will be a great help. I consider this watch to be the optimal choice from the Garmin range - price/performance. If a runner can navigate the course and plan the route in advance in Garmin Connect, running in unfamiliar environments is manageable. I hope that this watch will serve min. 5 years. After 5 years, the strap that was glued to the watch broke on the Forerruner model. On the Forrerunner 45, the plastic part to which the strap is screwed has broken. So I hope Garmin has learned from previous design mistakes. It is a fact that the forced watch change will be my progression for the planned races. Why I chose Garmin again. Garmin products are at the cutting edge of sports equipment, offering a high level of features and craftsmanship. When a person has been using Garmin products for many years, they don't want to leave and change the account where they have all their activity history.
This sports watch offers almost all the same features as the higher-end Garmin models with offline navigation
Sufficient readability of the display in darkness and darkness. In sunlight, the technology used makes it easy to read.
Good and clear user account in Garmin Connect
I seem to be charging more often than I expected according to Garmin's stated values. A possible reason is excessive and frequent use of the watch to learn a new model, and to find the ideal settings for the functions.
Too bad this watch doesn't have a touchscreen. When scrolling through the menu, swiping would be more comfortable.

A quality sporttester with many features. In this category, I was choosing based on price and knew ahead of time that I wanted a Garmin because I have another device from them (Edge 530) and I've had one watch before (735XT, smashed its display on the ferrata; my wife has FR 35). I was also considering a Forerunner 55 and it would probably be good enough for me, plus there's a barometer and a few more advanced data tweaks (I'm a data freak). It can make music somehow, but I don't know how, I never cared for it. There's not much to fault the watch in terms of function. Connection to the sensors is seamless, to the mobile phone for data synchronization as well. The display looks fine to me. Battery life is normal, I have not tested long activity, but it will be about a week of normal activity as advertised. I recharge during evening hygiene, the half hour is enough (I have about 2h of activity records per day). I'm expecting the standard garmin software problems, but nothing has appeared yet. The only complaint about this model is probably the worse look - I have the grey version and it doesn't look great with a suit. But for the price I paid, there is nothing better and I only care about function, I don't care about looks.

The grey colour looks quite ordinary and I didn't want to pay 1000kč for the black version (I wouldn't use the music). But you can buy a black strap and a "Hard case" / "TPU Watch cover" on Alík for a few crowns.
To prolong battery life, I recommend turning off the SPO2 measurement and choosing a dial that displays seconds only when you move your hands.
Ideal size (I have a 17cm hand circumference and larger ones would be too tight when sleeping)
Excellent battery life 1-2 weeks depending on the amount of activity with GPS
The display is easy to read even without moving your hand; especially outdoors.
A plethora of watch faces in the Garmin Connect IQ app.
Low weight and slightly flexible silicone strap - I hardly feel it during the day and it measures reliably even with a small tightening.
Functional record of open water swimming and breaststroke (watch constantly underwater).
Quite accurate even when swimming in the pool (length counting and heart rate measurement).
The pedometer adds almost no steps when driving the car (but does when brushing teeth)
Lots of training plans that adapt to the user
Sleep data processing requires an internet connection
Very wide bezel around the display; with the light background of the dial it hits the eyes - unused space.
The buttons on the left side need to be pressed a little harder; at the first click they do nothing (but I don't notice it anymore).
The function of the buttons cannot be set (e.g. on long press).
Garmin-pay requires you to enter your PIN at least once every 24 hours (I recommend setting 0000 and then it's a snap).
