    I think the forerunner 55 is MIP. It's not a smart watch and it's their base level running watch. I had one before I upgraded to the 265 and I loved it. Off the top of my head, I know it gives you sleep data, heart rate, data, stress level data, a HRV, VO2 max. Max. Maybe some other things. Along with the standard steps and Miles moved or kilometers moved.

    Seems like it can be connected to your phone to see notifications and control music using the Garmin app, do I guess it's smart enough for me, that plus health monitoring and long battery life are all I need, and it's more affordable than other smartwatch's as well. Does Garmin charge a monthly subscription to use the health monitoring? And does it allow you to export the health data?

      The 255 is also MIP and is basically the same as the one I have (265). The 265 swapped out the display for an amoled display.

        No their app is free. You can access via your phone and on the web. Fyi music control on the Garmin is a bit clunky, but it works.

          Wearing a Pebble Time steel right now, and I'm cautiously optimistic for this.

          Pebble time 2

          Just got this to talk to my phone, gadget wraps carbon and clear screen protector. All I need now is to find out how to change the watch face.

            The app has a nice selection of faces, and you can also make your own (I made a few, though tbh I most use "blue futuristic" on mine

                Does the pebble app show your current watch face as active?

                  Dozens? Name three, and be sure to include number of aps in each ecosystem.

                  I'm sure there are dozens of Chinese smart watches, but most that I've seen are white-labels and sorely missing an ecosystem.

                  To interject a bit, as both an original pebble and current re-pebble backer who also has tried most of the other watches (no-name chinese ones and samsung)
                  The no-name ones actually aren't bad. But none of them have anywhere near the build quality - which is frankly a bit shocking.
                  They also have nowhere near the interoperability - I can (and did) crank out faces and apps for my pebble to suit my own personal use case. That's possible with some of the big-name ones (like the Samsung), but certainly not the chinese knockoff ones.

                  So for me, personally, having effectively a backup to my time steel is a good deal and I'm down for it. I'd actually prefer nothing else about it change much - aside from going to normal lugs. The weirdo ones are why I still am using the same slightly ratty band all these years later.

                    I don't have the pebble or rebel.io app. I am connected via gadgetbridge.org and the rebel.io site.

                    No current face is showing.

                      Oh, ok. Sorry, I don't know how to use either of those. You'll need to reach out to them on that one.

                        Thanks for the help, the app won't work on my phone as it has a too recent android version.

                          Of all possible names, they're really using "Core 2 Duo"? I feel like anyone who has been following tech long enough would immediately think of the Intel processor when hearing that name.

                          It's a play on words of core 2 do-over
