The Garmin Forerunner 255 is on sale for Cyber Monday

Garmins can cost a pretty penny. But good news for bargain-hunting runners: the excellent Forerunner 255 is down to $250 ($100 off) for Cyber ​​Monday.

Although it’s a last-generation device, the Forerunner 255 will appeal to runners who prefer the longest possible battery life. That’s because it has a pixel memory display, which means it lasts up to 14 days on a single charge. MIP displays are also easier to read in direct sunlight. There is the newer model 265but it has an OLED screen with a slightly shorter battery life at 13 days. Since Garmin seems willing to switch most of its lineup to OLED, this is a good opportunity to pick up a MIP watch while stock is still available.

Another neat plus is that 255 is one of the most economical ways to get dual-frequency GPS. This means you receive both L1 and L5 satellite frequencies, which translates to more accurate track tracking in difficult GPS environments such as cities and dense forests. The only thing missing from this particular model is music storage, although the 255 Music model also sells for $300 at Amazon and Best Buy.
