    • Great running watch
Style: Music Color: White
Review Image by Dan Dan
Spent a lot of time reviewing and researching smart watches online before deciding to go with this watch, versus upgrading my older apple watch to the next gen. And after living with it for a couple months, it's everything I wanted and expected. I chose this watch because I wanted something that gave me maximum analytics in a lightweight package without breaking the bank as it's my first Garmin watch. I've had 2 versions of the apple watch previously and various fitbit watch/trackers for running. Run 3-5 times a week, generally 4-6 miles per run outside over varied terrain. Pros: -Very light weight, barely notice it which is awesome for distance running. The larger Fenix series seem just too heavy and loaded with features I don't need. My wrist is about 185-190mm and band fits perfect (if you have very large wrists band may be a bit small), face large and easy to read but not crazy big. And after years of black watches, went with white and it looks great. -Analytics are awesome, pulse ox gives you load tracking and vo2 max which are game changers over basic activity tracking numbers that iphone apps can give. You really don't know what you are missing if you don't have this, highly recommend ensuring any watch you get from Garmin has the performance tracking features to really motivate you. (was looking at vivoactive/venu etc in similar price range without this, glad I didn't get them) -Music and apps like Starbucks card load easily via garmin app on phone. So you really can leave house with only this for a run, even though doesn't have Garmin pay. -Battery life is amazing, I can go a week or more between charging even with gps runs, try that with a apple watch, can't go even 2 days which is very limiting and annoying on weekend trips -Connects up easily with Runkeeper by Asics which I have been using for nearly a decade so I can still get historical comparisons. After your run, when you sync it up with the garmin phone app, it automatically loads it into the Runkeeper app as well. -Have had no problems with screen visibility or burnt out spots, it's always on and light button works fine for low light situations. Cons: -The initial set up is fidgety to say the least. Took me repeating the same step often to get watch/garmin apps to connect with wifi, bluetooth headsets, runkeeper app, etc.. Had to restart phone, devices etc a few times. It's frustrating but it's not as bad as some reviewers described. And once things are connected, they stay connected. Haven't had to reinstall/reconnect anything. -The buttons do sometimes stick a bit on the side as others mention, it's summer and with long runs comes lots of sweat so taking it in the shower every couple of weeks does the trick to keep the white clean and the buttons working well. -Figuring out how to use new apps loaded on the watch is weird, seems like the interface wasn't designed for them so they are stuck in a weird spot. Once you know where, it's easy and they work great. But again, the software lets you down a little here. -It does have full pacing and training programs which give basic alerts via your bluetooth headphones or on your wrist with a buzz, however I prefer the coaching apps that speak to you and motivate you on your planned work outs so do still often run with my phone when I'm doing them. Maybe I'll find an app that does this though long term, haven't explored this as much. -Only default watch face ships loaded, but easy to download more and customize via the app. Wish there were a few more pre loaded but is what it is (Pic shown with the Crystal downloaded face). Finally, yes I'd buy it again. It's the perfect light weight running watch for me. In the future may try the Forerunner 945 for the garmin pay, altimeter, thermometer, and a few more goodies now that I understand it's set up more. But, $250 more for just those things seems like a lot. ... show more

    • Fantastic GPS sports watch, adds new features at good value to Forerunner product line
Style: Music Color: Aqua
This watch is feature rich with solid battery life and 'just works' reliability, and a good value for what you get. It's a great new addition to Garmin's line of Forerunner watches. Before buying this, I used a Garmin Forerunner 35 for several years. That was a very good watch for tracking runs, and I also used it for other workouts like cycling and rowing. I loved its long battery life of about 1.5 weeks to 2 weeks the way I used it, plus physical buttons which I find much better for controlling the watch during runs than a touch screen. It also has a good quality heart rate monitor and some sleep-tracking capabilities. The Garmin 245 Music can do all this, plus adds additional workout tracking capability, and ability to wirelessly communicate with a Garmin running dynamics pod which gives additional data about runs. It also adds a pulse ox sensor, and ability to store up to 500 digital music tracks on the watch and broadcast to earbuds/headsets/speakers via bluetooth. It is more waterproof than the 35. It can track several measures of indoor lap swimming in a pool, but not open water swims or scuba. Finally its watchbands have quick release connections to the watch body, making it easier to replace them if needed or desired. I'm not sure I must have any of these things but was curious to try all of them. I am pleased with their implementation. The music feature is especially well done. It pairs without problems with my bluetooth headphones and speakers. I have good audio quality throughout my runs, arm motions while running do not cause any problems. I've copied .mp3 tracks to the watch from a Windows PC that uses Itunes to store my music library, using the watch's USB cable to transfer the files. I've installed the Garmin Express software on the PC (a free download from garmin.com), and methods to copy individual music tracks or playlists are straightforward and work fine. Garmin supports music services like Spotify and Deezer as well, but I haven't tried that and can't comment on how well it works. There are decent controls on the watch for playing tracks or playlists, and adjusting volume. There are a separate set of controls for that within my bluetooth headset (Plantronics BackBeat Fit 3150), and those play nice with the watch. The battery definitely drains faster while using its GPS and streaming music via bluetooth. Garmin claims 6 hours battery life for these conditions, which sounds roughly consistent with my own experience. That brings me to one of my few quibbles with the watch, which is that I wish its battery life was somewhat better. There's no escaping increased power consumption when using GPS and bluetooth, but it would have been nice if they'd fit a battery with more capacity into the watch. It's not terrible as-is: still much better battery life than Apple watches, and lasts a week to a week and a half if I 'only' track runs with it, use the pulse ox sensor, and don't stream any music. It seems slightly worse than the Forerunner 35 when using the same features, but I was hoping for the same or better. If you want more battery you can buy a Fenix or more expensive Forerunner. It's still good for what it does and the price, though. This watch seems generally well regarded but I've seen a few negative reviews that say its GPS accuracy is not good, or not as good as older Garmin watches. That has not been my experience. GPS accuracy seems just as good as my Forerunner 35, which is excellent. In fact, the 245 can also do GPS and Glonass together, which I tried while visiting Iceland. I've heard that Glonass can be helpful at hi latitudes. It worked well for me, though I didn't do careful experiments using GPS only versus GPS + Glonass to quantify differences. The watch has a lot of capability and it's a challenge to design an interface to easily access it all using the watch buttons. Garmin uses several of the watch buttons to descend or ascend within menus, or select options. There is also a circularly scrolling 'wheel' in one menu to enable or disable different kinds of connections, or power the watch off. It all works and is reasonably easy to find, but some items are buried a bit in menus, at times the clicking around can feel inefficient. Not sure there's an easy solution to support so many features, though. There is a lot of flexibility to customize and specify on or off for different sensors and connections, kudos to Garmin for giving this much control. The Garmin Connect smartphone software is a good companion for uploading workout data and displaying. It works reliably through a bluetooth connection between the watch and phone, and is well organized. It requires you to upload the watch data to Garmin's cloud, then communicates with the cloud to display different aspects. I don't love the cloud aspect, it would be better if they provided an option to store the data 100% locally (on the watch and phone only, with no internet involvement). But if you can live with the data being on the cloud, the software works well and has good visuals for displaying all the data. To summarize, this watch is a great product. It adds some nice extra features to the more basic Forerunner 35/45 while not being overly expensive, and continuing to include everything I liked about the 35/45. It seems meant to be a 'mid-level' watch, and I think what you get for the price is a good value. If you want much longer battery life or more sensors, like a barometric altimeter, get another watch like the higher end Garmins. If the capabilities of the Forerunner 45 or predecessor 35 fully meet your needs, save a bit of money and get those. This watch is a sweet spot of Garmin goodness + bluetooth music streaming and some extra workout tracking ability for lowest price. ... show more

This smart watch is great! I love the simple look and the fact it has buttons! If you want a watch that can help you keep track of steps, your run, play music, push notifications with out being able to respond (I dont want to be that available) this is the one for you! Full charge in like 10-15 min and the charge last 10 or so days! I love garmin and how this one comes out! Great bang for your buck! ... show more

    • Easy to read screen, holds plenty of music and podcasts for my run!
Style: Music Color: Black
I have used a Garmin Forerunner for a long time, but had not upgraded for close to 10 years. I needed a watch for running and fitness that also allowed me to store music and podcasts without needing to carry my phone. This watch meets those needs and works very well. The screen bright and easy to read. The GPS picks up in about 60-90 seconds and is accurate for my runs or hikes. It has a feature that lets you press a button at a certain point for a lap time, then for the rest of the run it will tell you (audibly) how you did on that lap so you can compare it to prior laps. I think it is made for running on a track, but it works well on long runs on streets or trails. The bluetooth work well with my Jabra Elite ear buds. Music and podcasts are easy to manage and transfer on my Mac from the Apple Podcast and Apple Music apps. Battery is a week if I only use GPS and Bluetooth during my workouts. If I use it more than that, I get 3-4 days on a charge. This is a quality watch that offers most of what a smartwatch does (notifications, answer incoming calls, etc) but really shines for fitness. Synching with the Garmin Express apps is easy and provides all the information you could want to track you health and fitness. ... show more
