NEW TRAINING PROFILES AND ACTIVITIES IN FORERUNNER 255 AND 255 MUSIC

The Garmin Forerunner 255 and Forerunner 255 Music are primarily a running watch for the dedicated runner who wants a running watch that provides data and insight into your run with analysis and improvements.

The Garmin Forerunner 255 and Forerunner 255 Music have been added to a wide range of training profiles that make the watch useful for more than just running.

DESIGN AND DISPLAY

As previously mentioned, the Forerunner 255 and Forerunner 255S have different dimensions. The “regular” model measures 45.6 x 45.6 x 12.9mm, with the S model measuring 41 x 41 x 12.4mm. In addition, they have different screen resolutions, 260×260 pixels and 218×218 pixels. All Forerunner 255 watches come with a durable screen with Corning Gorilla Glass, and are waterproof up to 5 ATM. 

BATTERY LIFE

In regular watch mode (smartwatch mode), the battery life lasts up to 14 days.

With GPS on it is 30 hours.

As something new, the Forerunner 255 can receive Multiband GPS, which means that you can simultaneously receive satellite connections from different systems at once.

Note: Battery life is reduced with Multiband switched on.

Garmin Pay

With Garmin Pay, you can set up your watch so you can use it instead of your credit card. In this way, you ensure that you always have a means of payment close at hand. 

Running Power

With Running Power you can run for watts. You can set your watch so you can see how many watts you are running. That way you get a different value instead of heart rate and pace, which can be good – especially in hilly terrain. 

ADVANCED PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS

Garmin Forerunner 255 helps you analyze your training before, during and after training with performance monitoring. In addition, the watch shows whether you are training your endurance or maximum effect with aerobic and anaerobic training effect.

With the Garmin Forerunner 255, you get performance mode, training status, training load and recommended recovery time as tools to achieve the best effect of your running training.

TRAINING STATUS

The training status evaluates the physical condition of the body based on recent training and performances. With these performance indicators, the watch helps show you whether your training is productive, optimal or overexertion. On the Forerunner 255, the function has received an update. 

ACUTE LOAD

With Acute Load, the watch helps to measure your recent activities, so you can make sure that you train with the right intensity and avoid training too hard or too little. 

GARMIN MUSIC

The Music editions of the Forerunner 255 and Forerunner 255S have built-in storage for music files and playlists. With Garmin Music, you can store up to 500 songs directly on the watch.

Connect a wireless headset with bluetooth and you are ready to run without thinking about cables and storing your smartphone.

Transfer MP3 files or offline playlists from Spotify Premium and Deezer Premium wirelessly with Wi-Fi or cable.

SMARTWATCH AND ACTIVITY METER

The Garmin Forerunner 255 is also your daily activity tracker that measures steps, calories, heart rate, sleep tracking and much more.

With the Forerunner 255, you can receive notifications, calls, today’s calendar and weather reports and much more, as long as the watch is connected to your smartphone via bluetooth.

ADVANCED SLEEP REGISTRATION INCLUDING HRV STATUS

The Garmin Forerunner 255 measures your sleep rhythm and measures via the accelerometer, Garmin Elevate and the Pulse Ox sensor how you move during the night, as well as how incredibly you lie. In addition, it also measures your HRV status, giving you information on whether you are ready to exercise or need to take it easy.

TRAINING PROFILES

The Garmin Forerunner 255 is more than a running watch. For the first time ever, it has become a multi-sport watch, allowing you to do several activities in one activity. In addition, you get the classic training profiles such as running, cycling and various fitness profiles as well as swimming in the pool.

CONNECTION

The Garmin Forerunner 255 has both Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and ANT+ connectivity.

With the Forerunner 255, you can both upload your data and training history via bluetooth to your smartphone and via the connected Wi-Fi network.

With the Forerunner 255, the watch can be paired with third-party heart rate monitors that run over bluetooth, and the Music editions can be connected to all new wireless bluetooth headsets.
