If you're choosing a Garmin watch for the first time, this is the best model to get acquainted with! Before this, I used an Apple Watch for 6 years, loved the Apple ecosystem, had all the "apple" gadgets... but the battery life of my smartwatches didn't satisfy me, so I decided to go for Garmins, but the cheapest model that included all the functions I needed. The parameters that were important to me were: 1) Battery life (in the Garmin Forerunner 255, it's about 2 weeks, compared to 1 day in my old Apple Watch) 2) Only physical buttons (during sports activities, a touchscreen isn't convenient) - it's handy in winter, during workouts, in the rain 3) Contactless payment 4) Body Battery calculation, sleep analysis 5) All necessary notifications from my iPhone. 6) Weight (the lighter, the better, model 255 is exactly that!) 7) MIP display - it's amazing! The display is always on but barely drains the battery... The readability is similar to an e-reader. Very convenient for the eyes both at night and during the day. And I got all this in the Garmin Forerunner 255 for a quite reasonable price. Nothing extra. This is a sports watch that motivated me to run (even though I don't like it). For everything else, I have a smartphone. Yes, there are much better models like Fenix/Epix with a flashlight, maps, more expensive appearance, but they cost 2-3 times more and are easier to scratch. The Forerunner 255 met 90% of my needs for much less money.
