GPS Features
With the Forerunner 255, you're free to go wherever your activities take you - thanks to the multi-band satellite tracking on GPS, GLONASS and Galileo coverage, which can track better in more challenging environments than GPS alone. Whether you're on or off road, the network capabilities help you track how far, fast and hard you've run. The tracking features of the 255 use advanced running dynamics to find out your stride length, vertical ratio, time balance and more with ease and feed them back to you through Garmin connect.

Now you really can leave your phone behind when you head out for a run because the music that helps keep you moving is right there on your wrist. You can also sync with music streaming services such as Spotify and Deezer so you can listen to your favourite playlist through any workout.
Wrist-Based Heart Rate
On your wrist, Elevate wrist heart rate technology lets you monitor your heart rate without wearing a chest strap. In addition to counting steps and monitoring sleep, the watch uses heart rate to provide calories burned, information and quantify the intensity of your fitness activities. It also measures your heart rate variability to calculate a stress score that helps you assess what level of activity your body is ready for.
Advanced Sleep Monitoring
The Forerunner 255 will also monitor your sleep to keep tabs on your well-being and how much rested sleep you're getting each night. Using a Pulse Ox sensor4, the Forerunner 255 estimates your blood oxygen saturation so you can see how well your body's absorbing oxygen when you sleep. This technology also shows when your body is likely to be at optimum performance so you can plan your day around peak activity times.
Advanced Performance Analytics
Through the Forerunner 255 you can receive personalised training and recovery insights to help you prepare for future races. It works to keep track of your maximal oxygen uptake during exercise and understands how external factors may affect your performance. The Forerunner uses this data to evaluate your recent exercise history and performance indicators to let you know if you're training productively, peaking or overreaching. It can also view your overall training load, which measures your exercise volume from the last seven days and compares it to the optimal range for your fitness and recent training history. The Forerunner 255 also allows you to view your entire week of daily suggested workouts, which adapt after every run to match your performance and recovery.
