Pros
- Parent context: Nice. I thought of getting the music version but didn't go ahead with it. Reply: I love how easy the timer function is to use. And the alarm wakes me up by buzzing, so my partner doesnt get disturbed in the morning....
- Parent context: I had 255 and now I have 265.. of course everything is more advanced.. screen is 1000x better.. More activities added.. I turned off touchscreen, I don’t need it too.. Reply: It's literally the same watch, with just OLED...
- If you don't need music on your watch (will be running with your phone either way), go with 255. It's worth it.
- At those prices, 255 would be my vote. ... otherwise 255 is cool.
- Watches did an amazing job. Got chest strap borrowed by a friend and thanks to this I saved 100 euros. Not really worth the money. Forerunner 255 vs HRM Pro Plus
Cons
- Forerunner 255 has some more training metrics, but personally I think they are useless
- I'd suggest looking at the Forerunner 255, 265 and 570 and the 955 through 970; at the Instinct 2 and 3, and at the Fenix 7 if price is an object.

And even with the good price, the performance and the battery time is great!
But 255 is also a very good one and you will be happy with it, specially if you come from 245.
Even 255 will do the job proudly
