Pros: Still does everything I want it to. Has great battery life still. Pretty accurate for a wrist measure, when measuring heart rate. Also has built in GPS, and even Garmin Pay although I never got it to work. Screen is perfectly visible in sunlight

Cons: Proprietary charger. I’ve had to switch the watch band 2 times.

    I wish Garmin would stop advertising their paid services and products several places in the GarminConnect app.

    I have a forerunner 255 for a couple of years and it has been great.

    I wish they had wireless charging, but I also appreciate that it is slimmer because they don’t have it.

    I would have gotten a nicer one, but holy cow they get expensive.

    It does everything I need and even stores music for my runs. (Who am I lying to, it stores music for my walks.)

    I have a Garmin BP cuff and I like that I can track my health stats, including sleeping

    I am about fan of Garmin and its products, I only wished that they had a program to replace batteries.

      I bought a used fenix 5 for 60€ and replaced the battery (14€) myself. 35-40 days per recharge now with bluetooth and heart-rate logging. IMHO extreme value.
