Garmin Forerunner 255: the sports smartwatch at almost half price on AliExpress

This smartwatch, ideal for sport and everyday use, is available at almost half price on AliExpress. It is your last chance to treat yourself before Christmas without breaking the bank.

AliExpress has treated shoppers well towards the end of the year, with excellent deals for Black Friday and subsequently during its Christmas Magic promotion. While those campaigns have now ended, the retailer is not finished yet and is still springing unexpected deals right up to the last minute.

For a limited time, the excellent Garmin Forerunner 255 sports smartwatch is listed at €171 instead of €349 with the code SOFR13. That represents a substantial saving of €178.

If you missed the earlier offers, now is the ideal time to take advantage. However, you will need to act quickly: stock is limited and may not last long.

With this watch, AliExpress includes fast, free delivery, the option to pay in four interest-free instalments (four payments of €47), a two-year manufacturer’s warranty, and free returns within 15 days for a full refund.

What is the Garmin Forerunner 255 smartwatch worth?

The Garmin Forerunner 255 is a smartwatch offering comprehensive health and fitness tracking. Its stylish 46 mm case features an attractive 1.3-inch MIP display with strong display quality. In addition, the five physical buttons around the watch face make navigating the interface menus straightforward and intuitive.

Its array of sensors can track your heart rate, calories burned, step count and blood oxygen level, as well as your stress level and sleep quality.

Sport tracking and training support

It also comes with 30 activity profiles, delivering detailed performance statistics to help you improve. It can also assess your endurance, tolerance to effort and the ideal recovery time between two training sessions. In addition, it recommends programmes tailored to your fitness level and objectives.

Water resistance, GPS and battery life

Thanks to its 5 ATM rating, the watch can accompany you in water and below the surface to depths of up to 50 metres. It includes GPS for accurate location tracking. This model also offers exceptional battery life, running continuously for up to 14 days in standard mode and 30 hours in GPS mode.

Finally, the Garmin Forerunner 255 handles smart notifications from your smartphone and mobile payments through Garmin Pay. For under €175, you will clearly struggle to find anything better in the smartwatch market. If you want to wear it without overspending, be quick: the offer is only available while stocks last and is unlikely to remain at this price for long.
