"The battery life alone distinguishes this watch from the sea of devices that require charging every other day: You get 14 days of smartwatch use in between charges, which means you can spend more time training and less time looking for cables. That goes up to 30 hours of continuous GPS tracking in GPS mode so ultra-runners and adventurers can take on the longest events without battery anxiety setting in."
"Recovery drives performance just as much as hard training does, and the Forerunner 255 tracks that balance through HRV Status monitoring. Heart rate variability measurements happen automatically during sleep, analyzing how your body responds to training stress and daily life. The morning report consolidates everything into one snapshot when you wake up - your sleep quality, recovery status, and a personalized workout suggestion based on where you stand."
Garmin Forerunner 255 combines reliability and performance with accessible pricing after a discount to $279. It offers adaptive training tools, recovery monitoring via HRV Status, and personalized morning workout suggestions. Battery life reaches 14 days in smartwatch mode and 30 hours in GPS mode for extended activities. Fourth-generation Elevate optical heart rate sensor provides improved accuracy, and multi-band GPS enhances positioning in challenging environments.
