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?
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.
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.
