Garmin has introduced the new Forerunner 255 and Forerunner 955 watches

The name of this smartwatch implies that it is a device that can be charged with solar energy. The so-called "Power Glass," which was also utilized in the Fenix 7 Solar and Instinct 2 Solar, will power the device for up to 49 hours in GPS mode and 20 days in smartwatch mode. The updated Forerunner also has an always-on color display that responds to user touches. The traditional five hardware buttons, however, remain.

The news includes a multi-band GPS and other components that allow the user to monitor their heart rate at any time of day or night. If you are an avid runner, you will appreciate Race, a new device that will prepare you for running. It shows the weather forecast for the day of the tournament, predicts your performance, and counts down the time until the starting pistol is fired. The watch can recommend daily workouts based on your training plan. After waking up in the morning, you will receive information on your sleep, time to full recovery from the previous training, heart rate, and the weather forecast for the day.

The system will even recommend exercises for you to do during the day. Of course, the inclusion of a function that creates statistics for you while you are engaged in a sporting activity. Among the body data monitoring functions are the pulse oximeter, monitoring of the "body battery," menstrual periods, and pregnancy. The Garmin Forerunner 955 Solar is available for $ 599.99 on the Garmin website. If solar charging isn't important to you, you can save $100 on each edition by removing the "Solar" property.

Garmin did not simply unveil the replacement for the most costly device in the Forerunner line. The Garmin Forerunner 255 will also be available to fans. There are two variants available, with the one with the descriptor "Music" having more internal capacity for music songs. The Forerunner 255 and 255 Music are 46 mm thick, whereas the Forerunner 255S and 255S Music are 41 mm thick. Users will see an increase in battery life. On a single charge, the purported news can last up to 14 days in smartwatch mode and 30 hours in GPS mode.

To improve runtime data, Garmin opted to create a multi-band GPS locating system. We must not overlook Garmin Pay's support. Before we get to the costs, the new Forerunner 255 features a new model for tracking triathlons and other sports activities. The Garmin Forerunner 255 and Forerunner 255S are available in a variety of colors for $ 349.99. The Forerunner 255 Music and Forerunner 255S Music cost $ 399.99 in black and "Whitestone." The sale takes place on the manufacturer's official website.
