Garmin Forerunner 645 Music (Black with Rose Gold Hardware)

I researched a number of GPS watches and was looking for right device to support music while I run.... It has met all expectations so far and the expanded information on Garmin Connect is an added bonus.. looking forward to checking out other features over time!

Not sure I know how to use everything yet, but already compared to my Apple Watch, I am amazed. I was able to download a training plan directly to the watch from Garmin Connect and out the door with no iPhone. I do wish my current headphones did not drop out (only with the watch on my left wrist).

The best watch ever!! I never run with my phone and have only run with the nano ipod. Now that they are no longer making them I was looking for a way to get my music. I saw the ad online featuring the Music 645 and was so excited!! I replaced my Garmin Forerunner 235 with the 645 and have been extremely pleased with all the functions, screens, ease of using the watch and getting the music I want to listen to on my runs.

Much more accurate than an apple watch just a tad less functional

Upgraded from a Garmin Forerunner 235 to a Forerunner 645 Music, pretty impressive difference- Garmin Pay is pretty schmick! I upgraded mainly because i wanted the music feature, however has been a bit disappointing- To top it off, this watch needs to pair with Spotify to make it one of the best watches out there!

This watch has been an extremely durable and well designed watch. I have had this watch since 16/10/2019 and it has not let me down yet. It has an extremely good battery life and is very easy to use. My only complaint about this watch is that for an Apple user (iPhone and MacBook Pro) it's very difficult to download music into my watch. I don't know if it is just user error or something else but that is why it's a 4/5 stars. Other than that, this watch is one of my favourites.

Watch looks good, apps are steady, feels great on the arm, while setting up the watch even before doing any sport: the "up" button got different from the rest of the buttons, the pressure used for this one is different, it is as if the button has lost the spring that places it back to the unpressed position. I would hope for this behaviour after a few weeks or months of use, maybe years(?) not the first hour…anyway, if been having fun with it, it is my running companion. No problem with music or headphones, everything works.

I love the features and the potential that this watch offers. Currently most of the apps don’t seem to support iPhones, so that is a little frustrating. Also the battery doesn’t last nearly as long as my 235. The watch is much more comfortable and has more features.

This is my second replacement since I purchased the product almost a year ago. The first watch Field in its ultimat I purchased the product almost a year ago. The first watch failed to accurately measure stair climbing and elevation changes while cycling. The second watch presented the blue triangle of death after a swim a few days ago. Does not connect to my smart cycling trainer (Cyclops Hammer). Transferring music from Mac OS is klugy but does work with some patience. Music has frequent interruptions/temporary drop outs when connected to my back beat blue tooth ear buds. Tracking strength training sessions is too cumbersome, if you want to enter amount of weight lifted. On the plus side: looks good; light weight. Better battery life than Apple watch. Plays some music while running without phone. If I were buy again, I would save up and buy a Fenix with music or perhaps explore a Vivo with music or—better—an Apple Watch and just sacrifice battery life.... maybe the running only 235 is more reliable?

My wife bought me this Harmon watch for Christmas so that I could run with the music feature- meanwhile we’ve found it almost impossible to load music and almost everything else- basically we can’t load music or any other features- we are beyond frustrated and about to return the device- completely disappointed- we’ve watched every tutorial we can and nothing is working for us
