sorted byA lot depends on what you want from the watch. This is a newer watch with more up to date sensors but it doesn't have the maps / navigation of the 6 Pro.
It is also a little lighter which means that it stays still on your wrist better, helping the HR sensor to be more accurate.
Wish these garmins would have LTE so you don´t have to take a phone out, and still be able to make an emergency contact.
The best way to learn about a Garmin watch is to read the relevant DC Rainmaker review which I have linked to below:
DC Rainmaker review of the FR255
I'm not feeling too sorry about the 245 going. It's battery in actual usage felt a big step down from the 230 which rarely needed a charge. I see this is quite a bit better. I also never ended up using the music feature as not a hassle to take the phone. (edited)
