    It's in a lot better condition than I expected. One of the buttons has been changed, so it's a slightly different colour, but otherwise it's hard to tell it's a used, refurbished item. The battery doesn't last very long, but that is to be expected, I'm only using it during running anyway. I'm really happy with this purchase!

    Excellent product. I've been using the Forerunner 255 Music for a while now, and I can say without a doubt that it's the best investment I've made for my running. This watch has completely changed the way I train. The daily suggested workouts are incredibly smart and adapt to my fatigue levels. Seeing my training status as 'Productive' gives me the confidence to keep pushing, while metrics like Training Load and HRV Status help me understand when I need to recover. It’s like having a personal coach analysing my data 24/7. The GPS accuracy is spectacular, even in the park with trees. The heart rate monitor is very reliable. And the music feature is simply liberating; being able to go for a run with my Spotify playlists and leave my phone at home is priceless. The battery life is amazing—it easily lasts a full week of training without any issues. If you're a runner who is serious about their progress and loves data, don't hesitate. This isn't just a watch to tell the time; it's a powerful tool that helps you become a better athlete. 100% recommended.

    I love this Garmin! It is a simple, no-frills device that does everything I need without any faf. Tracks my steps and activities, tells the time and has alarms/watch functions, tracks my sleep. Most impressive of all: - I bought this specific device because I can switch it off, for example to avoid getting extra steps when doing activities that might confuse the device. However, the Garmin is so clever that even when I ride my motorcycle, I do not get any erroneous steps. My previous FitBit Charge 5 gave me thousands of steps when I rode my motorcycle! - Excellent battery life: If not wearing it for sleep, it will last for up to 11 days. When wearing it day and night, the battery life is a solid 7 days. Initially I was worried the battery was faulty, after it dropped from 100% to 50% in 2 hours! However, it just needed a maintenance charge to full, after which it works flawlessly. I am now a Garmin convert after using Fitbit for a while, and BackMarket is great too!

    I'm really happy with this watch! I chose it as I do both pool and long distance open water swimming and, living near the coast, tide times and surf conditions are really helpful. This was the perfect watch for me. GPS is good, lane counts in the pool have been accurate, and it has all the usual settings too (e.g. for walking and running). It's well designed for outdoor use, and I like the style of the screen display. I am pleased I bought refurbished from back market as it was lower cost than new, but the watch had new feel to it. The only thing to note is that where the colour around the face appears green online, in reality this is more yellowy. This was not a bother to me as I think it still looks great, but worth noting if choosing it for the colour. Overall I love this watch, and would absolutely recommend it - especially to fellow outdoor swimmers.

    Really chuffed with the 255. Arrived as described and I traded in an old iphone so got the Garmin half price. Nice easy transaction. Shall buy from you again!

    Bought this due to an Apple Watch malfunction. First impressions are very good and in comparison this is a lot better. The only downside is that the equivalent to Apple Pay is not very good.

    The watch is absolutely perfect, shows no sign of wear and functions exactly as it should. However, the charging cable I was sent had corroded pins and was not functional.

    The only model available was in 'fair' condition, but I can't fault it. Feels like new and arrived promptly.
