Looks like a great price for the Garmin Forerunner 255 Music and looks to be the cheapest in recent times.

I'm looking for a new watch for my mum, she has a fitbit charge 3 or 4 at the moment. Any recommendations? she mainly just wants sleep tracking (doesn't want to pay for fitbit sub), heart rate and steps. I've researched a few in the 200-400 range (Garmin, Withings), but just not sure on the accuracy. She has an iphone, but the battery life of apple watches is not appealing.
Garmin will definitely do the job.
If you want a budget one, look into Xiaomi Mi Band. I think they're up to 9 now? I'm not sure about the accuracy, but I had the 3 and it worked okay. I bluetooth to my phone to only vibrate when I receive calls and it would last a whole month before I needed to charge it.
I upgraded to a Coros Pace because I started running and the Mi Band definitely doesn't track steps as accurate as sports watch.
Thanks, the Xiaomi could be a go!
Garmin seems overkill for her use case
garmin is definitely an overkill and the sleep tracking for garmin is terrible(can't track nap). i will recommend xiaomi.
My 255 is still going strong and does everthing I need. Battery not as good thesedays but still goes days between charges with GPS activities and HR broadcast on. 265 doesn't seems much of a upgrade in terms of features.
Pulled the trigger, fingers crossed nothing else comes up and I have buyers remorse lol
I was looking at the 165 deal but was really after the music option so that it could really function as a solo run item without the need for a phone.
Great price if you like the white one
