Garmin Forerunner 255 GPS sports watch: €150 AliExpress deal

AliExpress is keeping up the pace in June. Following its Summer Sales event at the start of the month, the retailer is now making another strong push with its “Back to favourites” campaign.

This is the penultimate day of the promotion, which ends on Saturday 20 June in the evening, and there are still plenty of excellent deals available. The offer on the Garmin Forerunner 255 GPS sports watch is a perfect example.

Use the code TPFR20 or FRTP20 to bring its price down to €150 instead of €349: an extraordinary 57% saving. You will need to act quickly, however, as the offer expires tomorrow evening.

AliExpress delivery, returns and payment options

If you have never ordered from AliExpress before, the process works much like it does on other online retail websites. Payments are quick and secure, while a range of benefits is included. These begin with free, fast delivery from France, free returns within 90 days, and a full refund if you change your mind after the product arrives.

You can also choose to pay in four interest-free instalments through PayPal. That means paying €37.50 today, followed by the same amount over the next few months. Finally, this product is certified as authentic under the “Brand+” label and comes with the official two-year warranty.

Garmin Forerunner 255: built to improve with exceptional battery life

At this remarkable €150 price, the Forerunner 255 becomes one of the most appealing smartwatches currently available. Owners particularly value the accuracy of its fitness and health tracking. Day to day, it monitors your heart rate, blood oxygen level, sleep quality and stress level, as well as menstrual cycles for women.

All of this information is shown on a 1.3-inch display that remains easy to read in both bright sunshine and shade. It is not a touchscreen: navigation is handled using five physical buttons positioned around the 46 mm case. This is often more convenient when you are moving or have sweaty hands. For sport, the watch includes 30 different activity profiles, covering running, yoga, swimming and cycling. For anyone taking training seriously, it offers personalised sessions devised by coaches and automatically works out the ideal recovery time between workouts.

It therefore helps you identify when your body is ready to perform at its best and when it needs rest. Its 5 ATM rating also makes it water-resistant to depths of 50 metres, so you can keep it on while swimming, diving in a pool or even taking a shower without concern. Runners and cyclists benefit from multi-band GPS, which tracks routes accurately even in places where signals are usually difficult to receive.

Long-lasting battery and everyday Garmin features

Battery life is particularly impressive: it lasts for up to 14 days in normal use and 30 hours with GPS continuously enabled, whereas most smartwatches need charging every day, or nearly every day. You can head away for a weekend without taking the charger, and even consider long sporting sessions without anxiously watching the battery level.

The watch also displays smartphone notifications, including calls and text messages, and supports contactless payments through Garmin Pay. At €150, it is one of the strongest deals available right now, equally suited to regular athletes and people looking to return to exercise with a genuine sports coach on their wrist to help them improve independently.
