Once I first reviewed the Garmin Forerunner 255, I mentioned it was a steal for runners who wished dual-frequency GPS at a extra palatable worth. Effectively, due to Prime Day reductions, it’s much more palatable at $219.99 — a whopping 45 % off listing worth.
Twin-frequency GPS makes a giant distinction for accuracy, however most different watches with it nonetheless price a fairly penny. Garmin’s Epix watch can also be on sale for $560, however that has extra bulk and prices over $300 extra. (However it’s additionally a superb deal for those who like a much bigger watch and OLED shows.) Personally, I like lighter smartwatches for operating, and the Forerunner is a superb choice for marathoners on a funds.
Technically, there’s a newer Forerunner 265 mannequin, however the principle factor you’re getting from it’s an OLED show. For those who’re a no-frills runner, the 255’s memory-in-pixel display nets you longer battery life and all the identical coaching options. Plus, this deal is for the Music mannequin, that means you may retailer your offline playlists on there. It additionally has Garmin Pay for contactless funds.
