Garmin hasn’t touched its mid-tier Forerunner 200-series GPS running watches since 2019, but it’s ready to catch up with a major update – plus another for the most demanding athletes. The company has introduced the Forerunner 255, a follow-up to the 245 that adds full triathlon support as well as more accurate multi-band GPS, Garmin Pay and race prep tools that include a multi-function widget and a “morning report” with sleep data and workout suggestions. You can also expect heart rate variability tracking and power stats from Garmin’s HRM-Pro or Running Dynamics Pod add-ons.<\/p>\n
Battery life is healthy, too. You can anticipate up to 14 days of use in full smartwatch mode, and 30 hours in GPS mode.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n The Forerunner 255 line is available now, with prices dictated by media support rather than case size. The series starts at $ 350 for the 41mm Forerunner 255S as well as the larger, 46mm 255. If you want on-device music from Amazon, Deezer or Spotify, you’ll need to spend $ 400 for the 255S Music or 255 Music. Those still aren’t casual purchases, but they’re now easier to justify if you’re committed to improving your runs.<\/p>\n
