Garmin Forerunner 255 In-Depth Review: 13 New Things to Know!

[@jonathag2000]

The older I get, and the more watches I buy and wear and experiment with, the more I realize that 99% of the data I get from watches is stuff that I already know just because I know how I feel and I've learned how to read my body over the years. But having said that I'll continue buying a new watch every couple of years lol

[@anthonyolivieri413]

This is facts, but I think the reason we do it is more so to see it on a screen and just know that how you feel is right

[@mahishrajdev]

And we get to graph over time too

[@morosis82]

Consider though that having the data is what allows you to know, not just feel. I am not specifically competitive but often will use the data to calibrate my feel - if I felt good but was slow then maybe something is up. Or as is more often the case I felt like I did a rubbish ride but ended up breaking a bunch of PRs then i feel a bit better about feeling bad..

[@willsherman3527]

One huge quiet upgrade that no one mentions from the 245 is that the 255 and the 55 can have their back lighting adjusted. For some of us who don't have perfect vision this is huge. Coros and polar don't do it. The owners manual for the 245 says you can, but you definitely cannot.

[@FoxBox72]

IMO Garmin are a mess when it comes to their model line-up. So many overlapping features and variations. I feel sure they would benefit from simplifying the whole range.

[@shiftnsix]

Yes! Deciding which model was best for me was a workout in itself.

[@TheOllieDuffy]

Agree. I’ve been out of the multisport watch scene for a few years and looking to replace my defunct 735xt - it’s a minefield. Seriously considering a Coros

[@pharmru9865]

Glad to see Garmin stepping up the game in prioritizing itself as the companion for running training. I hope that these features trickle down to FR945. Thank you for the great content as always.

[@kenjude1]

Nobody will buy the 955 if they trickle too many of these down to the 945.

[@CaptainCook83]

There are some features that are purely software based like the race day and training features I would like trickle down as well.

[@nami1540]

@@kenjude1 That sadly is the truth about Garmin. Garmin hardly sells hardware. They sell software features - useful or not - bundled with new hardware. That is why there are features that are only cloud dependent and still will not work on an older device due to chosen arbitrary restrictions. One example are records for swimming. Only few new waches collect these records, even tough all of them record pool activities.

[@Papa-Bogey]

I often get asked for multi sport/triathlon watches recommendations. My recommendations have been, if you’re in the Garmin eco-system, get a FR935/45 or Fenix 6/7. If you’re not then Coros Pace which is a capable watch at a great price point. I’ll now encourage those on a budget to stretch to the FR255. Thanks for the great content, as always.

[@ted363636]

The multi-band GPS in the FR255 is a great addition but probably pisses off owners of a non-sapphire Fenix which costs twice as much. It was ridiculous to offer it exclusively in the most expensive Fenix.

[@MrPrex91]

Totally agree

[@runnerup9786]

surely it'll roll out to all models soon.

[@clebergomesdasilva2369]

You’re right

Multi-band does not have so much gain, multi-gnss is enough for me and the tests say the same. But yes, it is strange.

[@jxy5484]

Non sapphire fenix 7 owners got shafted

Th reason I am buyting this watch is that the non-music edition is the most feature-filled watch I can find that DOESNT have wifi. For those of us that work in 'secure' areas, this is a must.

[@rajeevm1989]

Hey, I know this is 2 years later but do you mind sharing why you never used the music feature? I am about to buy a 255 and torn between music and non music. I always run with music on my phone, and I wonder if having music on the watch will help. Thanks!

[@MattSwain1]

One thing Garmin needs to address that has been a problem forever with the suggested workouts is (I don’t think) you can’t set your own pace zones. Despite having years of my data, this morning my Garmin thinks I should be doing threshold efforts at a pace I can only ever dream of. I couldn’t do the recommended pace if it was downhill, with a tailwind and being chased by a large angry dog! All that said, where 2+ years ago I decided to splurge on a Fenix 6, the new 255 does essentially all I need (especially with the barometric altimeter) and if I was buying today, I’d go with the 255 (small) over a Fenix 7

[@TimGrose]

Those paces should be based off your VO2 Max and race predictions. Are they about right for you? If not look at whether your max HR on the watch is set to a realistic value for you.

[@johngardner1898]

Thank you thank you Ray, for this review covering GPS ACCURACY. My Fenix 5 plus is terrible at tracking: all over the place, and typically a 4% haircut! I am now looking for the best value in Garmin GPS tracking, and you nailed it in the first few minutes of this video.

[@krzysiekszaryfin4483]

Hi, I am thinking of switching from Garmin Vivoactive 4 to Forerunner 255/955, but I have concerns about the possibility of using all the functions related to the training status and measurement of effectiveness. Therefore, I am asking for your support in this regard. Until now, I have not used the Vivoactive 4 to record my runs. I will also add that I do not have a power meter in the bike. I have used the Vivoactive 4 watch for swimming, cycling (without a power meter), hiking and fitness. I'm not a runner - I don't like it. However, I want to receive more statistics provided by the new Forerunner 255/955 models: it is about measuring performance and training status (e.g. stamina, performance measurement, training status, load, training readiness, rest time, body battery, acclimatisation, etc.). I read in the manual that this data depends on the VO2 MAX. In the new models, you can independently perform the VO2 MAX test (on request) with running or cycling (with a power meter is required). However, in Vivoactive only the march was enough to make estimation; there was no need to run. Can the new forerunners also estimate VO2 max from walking? In addition, I read on Garmin's website support ("What Is VO2 Max Estimate and How Does It Work?) that if VO2 Max is not estimated from running or cycling with a power meter, VO2 max can be estimated from walking (as in VIVOACTIVE 4) or from all day heart rate. Have checked if this also apply to the forerunner 255/955 watches? I did not see any writings of this in the manuals. After two weeks of only swimming (no running, no cycling, no walking), will my VO2 max be estimated from heart rate? Will this value be taken into account for statistics related to the measurement of effectiveness and training status?

Agreed, been waiting to see what a 755 might be like but it doesn't seem like it's needed now.

Agree... And honestly... Probably a good idea on Garmin side, with the double form factor of 255 plus the double music/nonmusic versions, plus 955 with the option of solar... Everything is covered, and honestly... Streamlining the offer looks like a good idea both on a cost management standpoint and in order to have a more consistent, less confusing range, the overwhelming number of watches Garmin sells always puzzled me... A "base-mid-top" (55-255-955) kind of range makes a lot more sense. Actually, wish they did it for the Fenix as well, and contained the price a bit more... Having 50 versions all overpriced is far worst that 15 versions at a reasonable price point and easier to choose among

This vs fenix 6? Garmin has the Fenix 6 on sale at a similar price

Love the review ! Could you please respond with the url of the website to add existing events to the Garmin watch. You said it around 6:55 but its to quick for me Thanks in advance

FR 245 is deeply Discounted compared to 255. Wonder if it’s worth spending an extra $150 for the 255. Currently using a 10 year old garmin that’s finally dying on me.

Would you say this a better than the coros pacer 2? I am looking for a new watch

Are you able to set hot keys? Are you able to choose the intensity of the backlight? Are you able to choose the intensity of the vibration? Thanks!
