GARMIN Forerunner 245 Music Smartwatch

Best watch for runners

The seal on the box seemed untampered but it wasn’t that solid! Hence a close observation was done on the watch and it was found pretty brand new. Thankfully.\n\nThe watch by itself is attractively sporty enough but not too elite looking. Besides it’s not the ‘look’ that it is advertised for. \nComing to it’s capabilities I would say quite satisfied with the amount invested. The running analysis are good, and the wrist heart rate accuracy is alright. You’d probably get a +/- 5% for 90% of the time in the live HeartRate accuracy. And that’s mostly true for all wrist based monitors. The phone syncs are good and best part is the display. It doesn’t turn off and more the light better the readability. The resolution is satisfactory too, as per it’s different display technology. The premium price being paid for this model is because of Pulse Ox, good material of screen and such amenities with a few added performance analysis features. Also the bands and fit of the watch which feels quite premium. If you’re only concerned with just core functionalities the forerunner 45 would be enough. \n\nIt’s sleep tracking functionalities are quite inaccurate. That’s pretty much the only negative I found about it.\n\nAlso, give the watch some time to adjust to your body. Initially it could seem quite inaccurate. At least one week with outside runs should be good. \nCaution! : Prolonged contacts with the skin causes problems like rashes and skin allergies. Hence wash it after workouts or maybe once a day under slow water especially the straps properly. Just clean water should be enough. \n\nDownload the garmin express to update it, and visit connect.garmin.com for better analysis of your activities.\nOverall a satisfied purchase.

It’s for pro runners..not for beginners or casual jogging or runners.\nGood to go for Forerunner 45
