Garmin Forerunner 255S

The Garmin Forerunner 255S sports watch accompanies you in both your regular running sessions and new athletic challenges. Its sophisticated design helps you achieve even the most demanding goals.

You have access to more than 30 sports profiles to help you get the most out of yourself, including running, cycling, triathlon, hiking, and swimming. For the latter, you can choose between pool swimming and open water swimming modes.

The Garmin Forerunner 255S is equipped with the Elevate Gen 4 heart rate sensor and the Pulse Ox 2.0 oximeter, capturing important fitness data. Based on this information, it shows you training recommendations and health data directly after waking up.

An analysis is performed to improve your performance, which can be used to optimize your recovery after exertion. The Garmin Connect app allows you to organize and create training sessions, taking into account your level and goals.

The multi-band GPS calculates your position with high precision, even in difficult environments. The barometric altimeter is also useful for your outdoor excursions.

The watch features the Fitness Age 2.0 algorithm and the HRV test, which allow you to monitor your health status. The HRV test evaluates the time interval between two heartbeats to measure your fitness and stress level.

The watch, revised for longer battery life, runs up to 26 hours in GPS mode and up to 12 days in smartwatch mode.
