Solid price on a very capable watch. I'm including a great write up below, but TL;DR this is currently the top tier of the Foreunners from Garmin and what you're getting that the 255 and 245 don't have is a fancy AMOLED screen. Don't care about the screen? Snag the 255. Don't care about music or the screen? Grab the 245 used somewhere.

Garmin watches are fairly indestructible. As long as the watch isn't visibly cracked, should be just fine.

Both the 255 and the 265 have the latest and greatest GPS and GNSS tracking tech on the market.

If you don't need the battery life of one of the Fenix 7 models, grab this!

Edit: as others have corrected me. It's the top model of the non-touch Forerunners

(Side note- to really get full music capability you need to be paying for a premium music service. Amazon or Spotify- no Apple Music on a Garmin).

Anyone can wear it. The S notation is for the smaller versions of the watch. The ones that have different sizes usually come in 47mm sized watch face as standard whereas S is 42mm. Then there's a few Garmin's that have a third size with the X notation which is a 51mm watch face.

If he is younger or has skinny wrists, this is perfectly fine.

what's a good watch to wear with a pixel 8a?

I got a apple watch and like it but I don't want to buy iphone again so I can sell it.

What's a good garmin to get under $400.

Also any of them can accept texts from my phone and maps?

I have the 265, and I get all texts and notifications on the watch from my Android phone. You can even reply back with preset messages. The integration is really good with Android. There's even a Youtube music app now.

I got my 265 from the Optimity deal. For $350, this watch is a great deal. The GPS is extremely accurate, the OLED touch screen is top notch and easy to see and use, and it has all of the best features of Garmin watches like the daily suggestions, and training readiness data.
