Summary

Switched from Apple to the Garmin Forerunner 255 and I’m not looking back. More data, better GPS, way more accurate – and honestly, it looks better too. Solid upgrade.

Pros

Data screens a plenty
Accurate GPS
Comfortable
Looks great

Cons

Can cause irritation if warn continually, especially if you're on very long runs on hot days

Made the move from Apple to the Garmin Forerunner 255 and it's been a serious upgrade. The data is next-level - more metrics, better insights, and way more accurate tracking, especially on runs.

Battery life is a massive win (7-10 days between charges), GPS locks in fast, and I find the interface cleaner and more focused on performance. It’s built for runners, not just lifestyle. Plus, in my opinion, it looks sharper on the wrist too.

If you're into your training and want a watch that helps you take it up a gear, this is the one.
