  • Lightweight and unobtrusive design, Super comfortable, even during sleep, Great battery life
  • Still feels a little cheap, Sleep tracking could be more accurate, No triathlon mode or Garmin Pay
  • The Forerunner 245 is a brilliant running tool that's still very competitive despite it not having all the bells and whistles of Garmin's more premium offerings.In fact, if you don't care about some of the more complex running dynamics we're seeing offere...

  • Bright colorful display, Onboard music storage, Good battery life, Loads of training metrics
