Review on 🏃 Renewed Garmin 010-01863-22 Forerunner 645 Music: GPS Running Watch with Pay Contactless Payments, Wrist-Based Heart Rate & Music; 1.2-inch, Slate by Will Ridpath

This is my fourth Garmin watch and Garmin is by far the best brand for running watches. Especially with the Garmin Connect app, which lets you connect and see a further breakdown of activity. The watch works great, has fast GPS reception and is accurate on the go, and the music function works great. The range is short, however, and is occasionally interrupted if you fully extend your arm when stopping at an intersection. This is fairly common on all Garmin music devices. My only complaint about the updated version is that the battery life isn't as good as it should be. For example, I ran 15 miles at 6:34 am and the watch lost over 25% compared to my 735xt predecessor in a very similar long run, losing only about 10%. It doesn't hurt the clock, but it's a little annoying when it expires so quickly.
