The Garmin Forerunner 255 Music is nearly half off for Prime Day

When I archetypal reviewed the Garmin Forerunner 255, I said it was a bargain for runners who wanted dual-frequency GPS astatine a much palatable price. Well, acknowledgment to Prime Day discounts, it’s adjacent much palatable astatine $219.99 — a whopping 45 percent disconnected database price.

Dual-frequency GPS makes a large quality for accuracy, but astir different watches with it inactive outgo a beauteous penny. Garmin’s Epix watch is besides connected merchantability for $560, but that has much bulk and costs implicit $300 more. (But, it’s besides a bully woody if you similar a bigger ticker and OLED displays.) Personally, I similar lighter smartwatches for running, and the Forerunner is an fantabulous enactment for marathoners connected a budget.

Technically, determination is simply a newer Forerunner 265 model, but the main happening you’re getting from it is an OLED display. If you’re a no-frills runner, the 255’s memory-in-pixel surface nets you longer artillery beingness and each the aforesaid grooming features. Plus, this woody is for the Music model, meaning you tin store your offline playlists connected there. It besides has Garmin Pay for contactless payments.
