Title: Great Watch!
Review: I quite enjoy my watch. It is very easy to use and not confusing. I love the ability to create courses for my runs and to see them on my watch. It is also nice to have music from my watch so I don't have to run with me phone on me. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase. The battery also lasts for a long time.

Title: Awesome
Review: This was a huge upgrade from my Vivioactive HR. The screens are crisp, buttons and actually working the watch is simple and easy to understand and it performs smoothly without any issue. Connection to my phone is quick and easy and the data for every stat when I run is always accurate. The design of the watch is also smooth and comfortable. But please note, in order to get music onto the watch, there are select apps you may use, and if you choose to use Spotify or Amazon Music, you do require a premium subscription to either one to get full access. It is also possible to transfer files from a desktop to the watch and there are 2 other apps I’ve never used that also work.

Title: Forerunner 255 Music
Review: I hesitated because of the price. I also didn’t like the fact that I had to ware the watch for 3 weeks 24/7.However, having completed the requested time to get baseline data. I’m a believer that the data is extremely accurate, even tracking when I take an extremely rare nap. My Garmin 225 Music somehow knew. I struggled with having to sleep with it for the entire time, but now. I think I’m addicted to the data.

Title: Tie your laces
Review: The Garmin Forerunner 255 Music is packed with features, and the GPS tracking and music playback work seamlessly. However, there is a bit of a learning curve due to the sheer number of functions available. If you’re willing to invest time to learn, it’s a fantastic fitness companion. Just be prepared to spend a little while getting used to it!

Title: Beautiful watch, super light weight (MIP) wasn’t for me.
Review: My first time trying a Garmin watch, switching from an Apple Watch. It is like there is nothing on my wrist. I am returning this because the screen is harder for my to see and I perfect something more crisp so I will be getting the 265 model. It is definitely worth the money if you don’t mind a non touch screen/ bleaker screen.

Title: Great tool for Runners
Review: My husband enjoys the Garmin Forerunner a lot. It was easy to link it to the iPhone. This watch also lasts way longer than the Apple Watch (days longer) in regards to battery life; which my Husband doesn't worry about the watch dying on him while he is doing his long runs.
