I'm finding that the new Garmin 255 that seems to be triathlon-enabled, no longer has a quick release type strap, making it essentially impossible to swap quickly between the bike and wrist in a race, which may be a real deal-breaker if this is in fact true. I can confirm that my quick-release bars from the Garmin QR kit do NOT fit the 255 and thus cannot be used.
Someone on reddit posted about buying 22mm bars from a European vendor that seemed to work, but it seems really shortsighted by Garmin to release a watch with triathlon features updated but having no quick release or quick bike mount for it to use in a race.
