Garmin Forerunner 245/245 Music review
There are a few notable omissions from the Forerunner 245. I get the feeling Garmin has left these out purely to encourage people to buy other pricier watches, but the Music variant still offers more than anything else in its price bracket.
Pros:
- Accurate and detailed sports tracking
- Music playback and Spotify support
- Breadcrumb navigation
- 24 hours of GPS battery life
Cons:
- No native support for power meters
- No triathlon mode

Garmin Forerunner 245, Music, White/Black 010-02120-31 review
The Garmin Forerunner 245 Music works well for those who need a fitness watch, which will also show all their notifications, etc. This is not for those who want a fancy smartwatch, but rather a dedicated fitness device with more comprehensive tracking than a simple band and one that is rugged enough...

Garmin Forerunner 245, Music, White/Black 010-02120-31 review
Garmin’s most popular running watch gets an impressive upgrade
Pros:
- The 245 Music has everything a runner needs and more
- Along with accurate GPS and heart rate tracking, you get the ability to set workouts to follow, training plans synced to the watch and analysis of the effect of your workouts.
Cons:
- There is no triathlon or open-water swimming mode on the 245, with Garmin presumably trying to push multisport athletes towards the pricier Forerunner 945 , Fenix 5 Plus and Fenix 6 series
- Garmin has not put a barometric altimeter in the watch.

Garmin Forerunner 245, Music, White/Black 010-02120-31 review
The Garmin Forerunner 245 Music is a runner’s best friend, and sets a new bar by which most other running watches will be measured. The watch is small, slim and light. The display is very clear and easy to read.
