Matches lowest price last November 2023. There is a new Garmin 265 with AMOLED but this has the advantage of more battery life.

I personally think the Forerunner 255/265 devices are the Goldilocks zone right now in the Garmin set: they do everything most people need while costing far less than higher models. Long battery life, lightweight, large library of default activities, multi-frequency GPS, sleep stats, body battery, phone notifications, huge library of faces on Garmin Connect, on and on. If you're a backpacker or want to run a different route every day, the 955/965 and Fenix lines with full maps are the way to go, but when I had one of those models, I found I never used the function (I have a bike computer for rides).


He will be able to leave his phone at home while running and allow the watch to record everything natively. It gathers far more info than a phone app (like heart rate, cadence, etc.) and may actually be more accurate on the GPS side.

He will need to link his Garmin account to his Strava account once. After he does that, when he gets home, the watch syncs with the Garmin app on his phone, and Garmin automatically creates corresponding Strava activities. I did this for years, and it does not require an LTE device as suggested by someone above. Any Garmin device that records activities (so all smartwatches) are compatible.

The main daily difference is Vivoactive devices have touch screens and Forerunner devices don't. Based on the comparison tool [garmin.com] at Garmin, the 255 also has significantly better battery life, sleep score/insights, incident detection, more default activities, basic/breadcrumb navigation, and compatibility with various accessories. Vivoactive has more golf and breathwork features.
Download the Optimity app and answer a few questions and you can redeem a 20% off at Garmin's website.

I have 0 idea what that apps actually for but I did it a week ago at the suggestion of a reddit post (doesn't work for 60? Days after a product launch so FR165 is off the table for anyone else reading)
So Christopher Walken can keep it safely hidden?

Quote from organickiller :
My son is a runner. He uses Strava (on an Android phone) when he runs. Can he use this watch with Strava without carrying his phone with him when running? It appears that this watch cannot directly run Strava app.

It syncs with Strava seamlessly

This or Vivoactive 5 for first fitness watch? I mostly lift weights, play basketball and light cardio at the gym.
