What makes the Garmin Forerunner 255 stand out from the pack is its advanced training metrics, which we described as the “ultimate compact triathlon watch”. In addition to tracking running, swimming, and cycling as one event, it packs a heart rate monitor that displays Heart Rate Variability (HRV) - a useful and important feature that analyzes your body recovery after intense exercise, and during sleep.
The smartwatch comes with different fitness features that are great for analyzing different aspects of your fitness journey, notably its Race Widget: an ideal companion for preparing you for a race day. The Forerunner 255 can also act as a mini personal trainer through the Morning Report feature, which not only gives you workout suggestions but gives you reports on your sleep and the weather.
While this model doesn’t come with the AMOLED display screen seen in more recent models like theGarmin Forerunner 265, it’s nonetheless a reliable tracking watch with all the advanced elements you could need. And on top of that, the Forerunner 255 is currently the same price as Garmin’s budgetForerunner 165fitness tracker, which isn’t quite as feature-rich as the 255. You’re really getting your money’s worth with this limited-time deal.
