Nic567, 55 - 64, East Midlands
Great features on this watch.
The watch is fantastic, feels great!! The GPS is incredibly accurate and excellent for identifying and tracking my exercise; the guidance it provides is superb. The price was great!! I would highly recommend getting one if you are a sporty person or if you want to just improve overall fitness...... The storm warnings are very accurate.

Garmin Forerunner 255
Always had Apple Watches previously and was apprehensive about making the change. Couldn’t more happier with Garmin.
Ady, 55 - 64
Solid, accurate and great for runners
Great watch for runners, advanced GPS is incredibly accurate, buttons are intuitive and simple to use and lots of great insights into running behaviour and habits.

Great watch very well

Garmin forerunner 255
Fantastic, love this product and the amount of data captured is eye opening. Used to have a forerunner 305 from 2010 so the 255 is less bulky to wear and the screen is easy to read. Need to use glasses to read the sleep and run reports but that’s just me.

Health and wellbeing in your control
Bought this as a present for my wife who is really wellbeing-focussed already, she is so positively fired up by the ease of use features that compliment her knowledge and reinforce her healthy lifestyle

Good all round fitness

Great watch .. would definitely recommend
Researched and compared different watches and styles. I am happy to report I made a great choice. The colour is lovely, the strap feels strong, the size is just right for my wrist and the features are great. I can track my runs, walks, dancing and swimming on one watch and the battery life is great for my ultra runs. No more having to recharge and carry a battery pack. The Garmin app compliments the watch and the feedback and data is easily digested. I really like the moon feature, it makes my soul happy. This is the upgraded version of my last watch and I love it. My last watch has been recycled to my daughter, after 3 years of adventures it still works well. Love Garmin products, very durable.

Hello jane,
From the information we have available, I can advise The Garmin Forerunner 255 does not have ECG monitoring capabilities. The ECG feature is available on select Garmin smartwatches, such as the Venu 2 Plus, epix Pro series, and fēnix 7 Pro series.
If ECG monitoring is a crucial feature for you, you might want to consider one of these compatible models.
Thank you for using Q&A
