The 255 has largely disappeared from retail stores in Australia. Deals can be had on ebay for around $400. Otherwise, I have heard of several people who have bought from AliExpress. The products are original, but you will not have an Australian warranty. From Ali after paying GST you are probably looking at $300.
The replacement model the 265 is widely available in Australia and can be had for around $550. However this watch is not currently approved. Which it should be as it is the same internally as the 965 which is approved. I might follow this up with the GPSTC advisory a panel to see if the 265 can get the tick of approval.


sweet - thanks Andrew

No band breakage for me but I have had 2 Garmin 765's that have given up on me.
First one was within 12 months - screen just started displaying gobbly gook.
Garmin replaced on warranty. Replacement lasted about 4 years - function button stopped working.
Anyone keep an on sales?
Where is everyone buying from?
From what I can find, Garmin 255 runs between $260 (Ali Express - to good to be true?) and $469.

Such a nice genuine bloke. The free advice with a friendly smile was afforded to anyone that wanted to listen. We could all take a lesson from Dave's way!
RIP
