Forerunner® 245 GPS Running Smartwatch with Music in Black

I love this!! I had a VivoSport before and I liked that one a lot but the band broke and was not replaceable. This watch is awesome. I am currently training to join the Army as an officer so Im working out multiple times a day and this watch is a lifesaver. I bought some replaceable bands off of Amazon for a great price and it take 5 seconds to switch it out. Super easy.

I never use to carry any gadgets for my run or fitness. Then I moved to some local fitness watch and used it for a year. I found all the data's were not precise and up to my expectation, that's the time moved Garmin. Now it is part of my body and there always to provide all healthy data's for me to make note and improve my running. It is simply amazing!

I originally bought the Forerunner 245 without music to try out and compare to my Apple Watch. Honestly it was an unfair comparison because the Forerunner is simply a superior watch for fitness activities. I don't miss the apps from my Apple Watch because I have them on my phone. And the accuracy and detail of running metrics delivered by this watch make owning it a no-brainer for the serious athlete. I exchanged it after a week for the music version and found it easy to add Spotify playlists to the watch, pair my earbuds and run without a phone for once. I felt free on my run and that's such a priceless feeling.

I bought this a month ago, I've been using the suggested runs and I think its doing a great job with what I need to be doing and when I need rest days. Perfect for what I was looking for

Love how easy it is to use and download music. Love that I can keep track of my training. Overall great watch. Garmin customer service is awesome! Will only wear garmin watches

Great Garmin watch to get back into running. Good sync with amazon prime music and garmin coach running program. 1 week battery life and fast charging in less than 45 mins to 90%. forerrunner 245 music is all you need to follow a running program manage training loads, measure vo2 max and spo2. Great free watch faces for integrated display. worth the money. The watch, a good running shoe and bluetooth is all you need to jump start fitness outdoors.

Tengo esta raya en la pantalla que no me deja ver bien. Apareció sin causa. En Argentina no me dan solución.

For some reason when I run it inflates the distance 20%+ on longer runs. Example : I ran a half marathon race that was 13.18 miles on an official and chipped coarse, my watch had me at 14.4 miles. Not my first Garmin product but the first time I am left extremely unhappy with garmin

I ran twice so far outdoors and, as you can see on the picture, my new Forerunner 245M it mark I ran many kms at 2:11 or 1:43min (those are the exampleals on the picture. Have more). And that didnt happen. The never happened with my ol Forerunner 15. I find hard now to trust very important stadistics from this Garmin (like time or distance). Bit disapointmen for the money i spent in it.

Registered on 21st Aug 2020. Case broke near where the band attaches in June 2022. Now unusable because band cannot be attached. Most disappointed with quality of such an expensive watch.
